Generally captains are well liked by their teammates. Horcoff is hence why he is captain. It's only fans that don't like him.

Half the time I watch the Oilers, Hall is the only guy showing hustle. The frequency of this being the case shows me that Horcoff isn't a good captain.

I guess the other half of the time Horcoff is the one showing the hustle.

He does show more hustle than the majority of Oilers, but that does not make him a good captain.

*Advanced Hustle Percentage*

Hall ~ 99.7%
Yakupov ~ 92.4%


Gagner ~ 73.2%
Horcoff ~ 57.6%

As long as the players like him it really doesn't matter what you think.

Do you have the stats on Belanger?

What's with Jones having a medical exemption from doing the combine?

You know what I think? I think you're HORCOFF!!!

Like I said earlier, it's fantastic that they like him, but that really means (frank) all. Like I said, I'm sure most of our players like each other... I'm sure they all like Joey Moss as well. Let's make him the captain.

If he is well liked and respected by teammates and is good in the locker room, there is no problem with that.

Doesn't matter. There are two elements needed to become a good leader. Horcoff only possesses one of those elements -- Being liked. You also have to have the ability to make your team effective, and the key to an effective team is a team where the majority of its players show hustle... This has not happened while Horcoff has been captain. He does not have what it takes.

I don't think it matters who the captain is. This team lacks hustle as a whole.

No he sucks and lacks effort. Stortini sucked but tried hard at least. Belanger ranks right near the bottom of worst Oilers since the trip to the finals.

If the guy wasn't so useless off the ice they'd probably keep him.

I don't think any. I think they are all signed. Except one of the goalies. Simpson isn't signed but doesn't have to be and Reider is gone.

Hemsky - Injured too often. (frank)s up team chemistry.
Smyth - Slow as balls. Get off the ice and take your made-up job with the Oilers.
Whitney - Vagina
Horcoff - Take the "C" from this clown.
Belanger - Burn in hell
- laughs2907

Horcoff and Hemsky will not be here next year... and its too bad but they have no place on this team- and no I dont (frank)ing know who will replace them but its doubtful we will continue to pay nearly 11 mill for non contributing bandaides who play roughly 33% of each season for the last 3 or so seasons... and there are plenty of plugs that can be more effective on the draw, have equal or better stone hands and can lay the body consistently... Smyth should do the honourable thing and give up but greed is a wonderful drug! Belanger all but confirmed he wont be back some time ago... Whits wont sign here when its obvious he cant cut it...


On a side note I do like the fact that MacT is actively pursuing a replacement for Kreuger... for when he again fails to match lines on the ice and mismanages personnel in ice time... Its about time there was some pro activity in this organization
