yeah, gotta go with Marty for the C. he deserves it more than anything. He has been our vocal leader anyways for about the last 10 years or so. We give Marty the C til he retires, then its Stammer's time!

Agree with this, and so I voted for St. Louis.

This is my reasoning for Nate Thompson. As good as Stamkos is and a passionate as St. Louis is, neither of them (que crucification talk now) play with such desperation, abandon and disregard for himself. That, to me is the mark of a great captain.

i think they should give the C to Marty for his final 2 seasons, then hand it over to Stammer
wow dead even at 48-48

Victor Hedman is the logical choice.

St. Louis might just tell them to give it to Stamkos.

St Louis. and it shouldnt even be a debate. there are reasons to give it to Stamkos, but none of those are even applicable when brought up against 26. everyone talks like he's on the decline and if that were the case, sure more arguments could be made for stammer. but marty is 38 and still in his prime. he's teemu 2.0

Martin St.Louis would be the ideal choice for right now, when he retires give it to Stamkos.

I vote for St Louis too! Would love to see St Louis raise the cup again before he retires.

It didn't sound like you knew. "We all know he wants to win a cup, we know it, he knows it, everyone knows he wants to win...but thats the perfect situation for him..."

What player in the league doesn't want it? You where so emphatic that he wants it so bad like he's never tasted it. Sounded like a Bourque story or an Iginla story...no big deal, was just interesting.

I thought the exact same thing as you when I read it.

Wouldn't surprise me based on the comments he made in the Sportsnet article I cited a couple posts ago.

The day he retires is going to be a sad one for all Lightning fans. This generation of Bolts Nation has witnessed some pretty remarkable things from #26.
