If he’s astute as I think he is, he will delegate that task, so that he can devote his energies to scoring. 
It’s there to be done.

I still disagree. 

 

Your most talented player doesn't need to be your captain, I'd rather see more of a role player take it on. Let your offensive engines focus on driving the offense. 

 

If Schenn comes back he can have it, I prefer captains who aren't your driving engines. Your Jordan Staal, your Jared Spurgeon, your Jacob Trouba. 

 

I'd rather go with three or four A's than give Pettersson the C. If he wants it that's one thing but I'd rather just wait and see who emerges if Schenn doesn't get it.

Captain passive.

So we don’t like that Horvat doesn’t fight someone any time one of our guys is roughed up, but we wanna make Petey captain? What do you think he would do?

 

If you want a captain that will chuck em then we should be making Schenn captain.

Ohh We're Halfway There!!

3 Straight Loses on this road trip.  

 

Vancouver CanucksVAN 1.4%

 Chance of making the playoffs.   After we lose the next two Road games by Sunday - we will be in the 0% range and it will be all but over and JR can officially start dismantling the team without Aqua-Lini stepping in again and preventing it from happening by saying we still have a chance like he does every year.

Why is a news reporter asking about Tanner Pearson's injury after a 5-4 loss? Seems pretty sketch, especially since there's no audio/video clip to go alongside this. Wouldn't be surprised if this response was paraphrased from an interview before the game honestly, can't stand this guy 

I heard the full post game interview audio so was a legit quote but the whole thing is strange. I’m sure we will find out more with time about what happened with pearson a evaluation and surgeries

We should be trading Schenn. Why people want to keep a 34 year old on an expiring contract is beyond me, especially when teams want him this year,

Schenn SHOULD be captain.   

It’s not about fighting. 
It’s about standing up for your teammates and you know that.  
If that means punching Serg in the face tonight, then that’s what you do.

I prefer Schenn too.  Look what happened to Edmonton with McDiver, and imagine where they'd be if they didn't have a locker room cancer wearing the C.  It's possible he would have learned to backcheck and turned into a real man if he hadn't been gifted an unearned leadership spot.  Your best players don't have to be your  best leaders.

See you next year fam.. thanks for the laughs during this horrible time. Hope we end up with a franchise altering player and we don’t make the same stupid mistakes going forward so we can move towards being in the upper echelon of the league.

I never said I wanted Elias PoutyPants to be Captain.

You still need some vets to show the young players how to be a professional or you get a fiasco like in Edmonton.  Schenn has 2 cups, likes it here, and fits in well with the group.  I'd like to see him retained after this year.
