Thread: The Team of Captains
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>I really like Ovi, but I just don't have him as one of my top captains in the league and don't think that getting a cup as a captain, in and of itself, makes you a good captain (not saying Ovi isn't a good captain either, just not my top 5). If I ranked my top 10 captains from last season (in no particular order), Weber - Landeskog - Chara - Crosby - Toews - Kopitar - Wheeler - Pietrangelo - Foligno - Getzlaf. Then I'd have Giordano / Stamkos / Ovechkin / Koivu all in that next tier, but close. Once you start looking at that 8-15 range, I think a lot of them become more or less interchangeable.</div></div>

Yeah. Just winning the Cup and the President's Trophy and both MVP awards and the Rocket as captain and winning your division more often than you don't doesn't make you a good captain.

You have to come from Canada. ;)

edited to explain what sarcasm is?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jexus</b></div><div>Ovi is a good captain that doesn’t lead in the traditional way. He gets overlooked for that, remember, Ovi led his team to a championship, something Weber hadn’t done yet. Weber is still a good captain though.</div></div>
