You asked what cup winning centres had the C stripped.

Thornton is just an older (much much older) version of Sakic and Vinny, as in he had the C removed before a Cup win - assuming the Sharks win, of course.

Thornton will win the Cup with the Kings somehow.

well, fans on here need to get that through their head

As long as he wins one.

He's been great, arguably the best set up man in this era......but not the best leader apparently. That's why I'd question if he's 'everything you'd want in a center'.

Winning creates leadership. Leadership is basically the same thing as intangibles. Meaningless. Does simply putting up good numbers in the playoffs make you a leader? Kessel should get the C soon then.

Ducks trade Anderson to Leafs for Kadri + / would the Leafs go for something like that-
- dozerD10

Nope.

That's what they said about Yzerman.

And Elway.

Morning, my Leafy friends.

we'll see. i'm just expecting an east team to win this year

IMO, the what would have to be something pretty damn good.

But, as to what, idk

Deservedly so. (frank) Crosby!

Trade everyone..Just for the sake of making trades...

They probably made a killing on Pavelski "C" jersey's so shows what you know scrub!

It's true though. You're not a good leader unless you win a cup apparently.

It's a team sport, an individual can't leadership his way to a cup. It's so dumb. Toews is apparently a leadership god but put him on the Leafs and he'd just be a chump.

Levin? The kid in Sudbury? Yeah, I can see the Leafs getting another high pick in 2018.


....Colton Orr....

Hometown discounts for all!

Look at Ovechkin this year. He outplayed Crosby by a large margin in that series but Crosby outleadershipped him and won the series somehow. What a leader! What a captain!

I watched Thornton play with the Soo Greyhounds along with Rico Fata and Tim Jackman...Thornton controlled the play and the setups even back then

I'm really ranting here guys, someone calm me down asap

I was going to put Svechnikov, but he's more obscure.

Apparently Messier is the single greatest leader of all time.

First four cups Gretzky was captain.

5th cup he was still on a stacked team of HHOFs.

Absolutely flamed out in Vancouver - the fans have never forgiven them.

But then in New York he guaranteed a win - so he's the best leader of all time.

I love the logic.

or because centers are more valuable. Matthews >>>>>> Laine

What about Linden? Considered a great leader, but won jack poop because the Ca-Nucks (frank)ing Su-Nucks.
