Snake Doctor Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 As much as I love Hank as captain. As great he is in the community and on the ice, it's time for change. Kesler is a man that wears his heart on his stick, points out who needs to improve, and carries this team on his back. I would like him to wear the C next season and see what transpires. Anyone else think the same or am I way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Taking it away from Hank to give it to Kesler isn't going to change anything. It would just be a slap in the face of Hank. Kesler doesn't need a C on his jersey to motivate the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vansicle Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I was pushing for Kes as captain when Lou lost the C, but at the time he seemed too mouthy/immature to handle the role. Since then he has done a lot of growing up and seems perfectly suited for it. The question is, what does it so to the locker room climate to change captains yet again?

GrogZilla Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 As much as i like Kesler I can't see this having any positive effects. The leadership Kesler provides is there if he has the C or not. While it could have a negative effect on Henrik. It often causes uncomfortable situations if the C is taken from one player & given to another while both players remain on the team. IMO Henrik should keep the C as long as he's on the team. Plus if Henrik still has the C at the end of next season it might increase the chances of the Sedins signing much more cap friendly contracts next year.

Strombone1 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Kesler is immature. He has childish tendencies and that's not what a captain's made up of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCanuck94 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Agree 100% This team has become emotionless. Kesler is a true heart and soul guy and knows what to say and how to play to get his team going. He wants to win, he wants to win now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetica Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I actually agree that it's time for a new captain, I just don't know that we have anyone who deserves it right now. In the games the team phoned it in I didn't see anyone who gave it their all, and that includes Kesler. We used to be the comeback kids, the team that never gave up, worked hard and made more 3rd period comeback than anyone. Somehow that devolved into us only playing in the 3rd and that's not acceptable. A good captain should know that. What we need is someone who will lead and inspire by example, giving his all every game no matter what period it is or what the score is. We need someone who doesn't think it's fine to play for only part of the game and we need someone who doesn't just give up when they're down. In short, we need someone who does not accept the current culture of the Canucks and I'm not sure we have anyone like that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley2051 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Dont need to have the "C" to be a leader/voice in the room That being said if the Twins could focus more on their offence than leadership who knows what could happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 hank brings sweden to the championship game. there's more than just a 'captain' this team is missing there's really nothing stopping from other guys on the team from stepping up and showing some 'leadership' whether they have a letter on their jersey or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
