Hunter56 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Now, before I start, I just want to say I am in no way saying Henrik should leave the team. I'm just saying simply get demoted to Alternate Captain. As we all know Henrik Sedin is an amazing hockey player -- he is after all the all-time franchise leader in points. However, amazing play does not always translate to amazing leadership. I can't help but think that a lot of the lethargic play the Canucks usually put out (especially recently) has something to do with a lack of leadership on the team. I'm not trying to knock on Henrik, he's awesome, but maybe he's just not the type of captain the Canucks need right now. For example, last season the team was in a slump near the end of the regular season. When people asked Henrik what was up he said something along the lines of "I'm just coasting and not even really trying until the playoffs start." This is something I don't think a captain should say and... well we all saw what happened in the playoffs last year. I believe that this is the playoffs where Henrik needs to prove himself as a captain. If they go on a deep playoff run, say I'm wrong, call me an idiot; if they win the cup heck I wouldn't care what you'd call me. If they go out like last season though there has to at least be consideration for a new captain. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 They should make a new captian. but we will keep the same captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Another negative thread just before the playoffs... don't you people ever learn. THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT NOT THIS NEGATIVE NONSENSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tortorella Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Who would be captain? Kesler is injured half the time Bieksa is a captain material but makes the dumbest mindfarts known to man Only option is to make luongo captain. He can lead alot being on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoman13 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Shouldnt we at least see how the playoffs go before we even start thinking about making threads like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brahma Bull Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 If we lose in first round, AV will strip Henrik of the C and give it to Ebbett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZephyrsSong Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't think they will change captaincy. For the sake of throwing other options for captaincy though, I'd go Hamhuis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Average Joe Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Canucks should move to different location or change their name. Canucks name is nothing more of a curse. Maybe they should change Stanley park to different name to change the playoff chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ahh crap how did I misspell that... fix'ed lol. I'm not trying to be negative. I'm just saying a lot is riding on this seasons playoffs. I want Henrik to suceed, but if Luongo has gotten bad repercussions then as captain Henrik needs to be held somewhat accountable also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 They need a new coach regardless. AV must have lost his way on the way to Granville Island and sampled the wares at the public market at Hastings and Main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
