Better question...

Who is the best captain of all-time?


Will I sound like a homer if I say Stevens?

- _Zippy_

Nope. Stevens was defenitely one of the best

Nah. One cup does not make him best ever. What did he do in Edmonton after Gretz left????

Potvin before Messier by a mile. But I'm not even throwing him in as best ever.

Ranger fans. Always thinking too ambitiously and in a bubble. You probably asked for the day off after Game 7 of Stanley Cup already for the parade.

Name the only player in NHL history to lead 2 different NHL teams to the stanley cup as captain.

Crosby isn't physical enough to be the best Captain. He's just very skilled.

Being physical has nothing to do with being a good captain, leading and having your team want to follow, and having their respect is what a captain is.

The Best Captain is Phaneuf because he plays for the Leafs.

Will I sound like one as well when I raise you a Steve Yzerman

As for Callahan, he is good. Best? Uhh, not IMO at this time. Depends on what ones parameters for being "best" is.

Callahan has done an amazing job in his 1st year as captain, both in production and leadership of the Rangers
