I don't. But part of Toews' status, to me, is that he is a very no-nonsense guy on the ice, and carries himself with a quiet dignity off of it. Like I said, he's the closest thing to a modern day Beliveau.

It definitely seems like he's low on flash, high on substance, the typical Clint Eastwood character, the strong/silent type. G is more Jason Statham. I'd just have a hard time labeling one a better leader than the other without being around them. But Pronger, Jason Smith, Hatcher, their qualities seemed a little more apparent. IMO.

If the Flyers were a true team with GUTS and not a fake team, they would have Weber as captain, Stamkos and Ryan as alternates (Giroux on the Phantoms to learn how to lead). Next captain when Weber retires: Chris Pronger's son

Didn't they draft Pronger's son? I thought he just got done playing for Team Canada at the WJC.

Well, I've never been around Giroux either. For all I know, he's organizing a 10-on-10 game of sweaty man grabass in the locker room after every game. I don't think he is, but I can't say one way or the other.

But yes, to me, the Clint Eastwood type you described is what I like.

Will he wield Excalibur, or that wannabe broken sword from LotR?

He has the head of a peacock, the body of a jackal, and the heart of a mummy.

84% completion of soul transmission per Panotch. Not much longer now.

That's a great leader there, because seriously, is there ever really a loser in a game of sweaty man grabass? I don't think so.

Confidence: Raised.

Everyone knows the best sword for Tolkein's writings was Gurthang, "Iron of Death."

But to answer your question, he will wield the sword that Conan's father made in the original Conan the Barbarian movie.

I hear he stole the LotR sword. "It'll wind up on eBay at some point. All proceeds will go to the person that buys its charity."

I think Pronger had a legendary handle on the media. G is good with them but Pronger would hand them their crap right back and they'd lick it off his fingers and beg for more. I miss his looks of "you're an idiot and you know it", or "REALLY? Did you just lower yourself to ask me that" look.
In other aspects I think G does a fine job...

Mason posting a .919 save % thus far while being hung out to dry on a nightly basis is pretty damn impressive.

I'm a fan of Stormbringer. Just be careful you don't get it too excited...
