How about all those captains that have actually lead their team to a Stanley Cup victory first...

Chara, 2011 (team still a contender)
Toews, 2010 (team still a contender)
Lidstrom, 2008 (team still a contender)

Would put Crosby if not for the injury.

Don't get me wrong, Callahan is a great player and a great captain (look at what he's done with this team), but you need to win before you can be called the best. Now, if the Rangers do win the Cup , you can easily make a case for him.

You're placing far to much importance on winning a cup. Winning a championship in a team sport is dependent on many things. You can't hold the lack of a championship against an individual.

Why do you Islander fans try and talk poop about the Rangers when you know your team is still a bottom feeder.

A devils fan sticking up for an isles fan. Its ok bud your team is on the decline and ours is on the rise. Once Brodeur retires and Parise leaves town, youll be right down there with the Islanders in the draft. Enjoy

This year they'll make it to at least the conference finals. Next year they'll win the Cup. And Parise will win the Conn Smythe.
