A few in here think there's no problem.

You are not being very honest. A few in here think the problems are not where some others think it is... nice spin though....

Him too. In fact, they might currently have four HHOF’ers in Stamkos, Vas, Hedman & Kucherov.

No love for Big Rig Pat Maroon and his 3 in a row Stanley Cups?
4 in a row if TBL win this year!

That hasn't been done since the dynasty days pre 1980s.

I’ll never include Perry, he stole the Hart from Daniel Sedin

No one is asking Bo to fight 25 times per year like Iginla did although it would be nice lol.

All we need is a little leadership and back up your players when needed you know...like Toews did.

8 career fights.

Horvat has 4 already. Maybe EP needs a big winger out there, Hughes has a couple of burly D that he plays with.

It's not Horvat's job to turn the team into something he's not, his job is to lead the way he knows best. If management decides to change the identity of the team with heavier players i'm sure he doesn't mind sliding down the fight card.

Asking him to take on guys above his class? Ridiculous.

This is something I've brought up a number of times over the years on the subject of captains. Players usually are given the C because their leadership has already been recognized. Fans and media then expect them to change to a different type of leader the minute a C is sewn onto their jersey if they don't fit their stereotype. It's unreasonable and missing the point of why they were named captain to begin with...

Bo led this team like very few have the last time the Canucks were in the playoffs. The team responded exactly the way you would demand of them behind that kind of leadership. It can't be dismissed because he doesn't enforce. Bring in a better leader who is in the picture long term and I'm sure humble Bo would hand the C over if it was expected. Either way he would still be a big part of the leadership without the C.... which people have a hard time understanding. Its just a letter.... it's not a magic ring or something.

Sergachev for Drouin, what a great trade by Yzerman, kid won the lottery with that trade.

Luckily it's more about how teammates feel. Not you and nucker etc...

Booner has a spiritual connection to the team, not factual.

Sure, there needs to be work. I've yet to see anyone disagree with that. What you've been saying is quite the leap from that....

Green sucks yet the team looked light years better without him while sucking more than him somehow...

You've made some really good points today, Booner.

No I don't believe you. I believe them. I don't care what your hockey groupie dates tell you during pillow talk.

I honestly think Bo and Miller were a great leadership tandem last season(post Green for Miller) and the players one way or another followed it. Both bring something for everyone and Bo is way better at all the captaincy duties after the whistle and off the ice than Miller.

People think there can only be one and the second the C is on the jersey, players brainlessly look that direction and if they don't, then the captain has failed at his duties. I keep saying it... leadership is a team thing. This team needs more of it... but it doesn't mean Bo is a poor leader.

Millers attitude changed immensely after Bruce was brought in. Team leadership isn't just the players. Players are looking for different inspirations and leadership.

There's still time for me to (frank) it up...

Wow, Tampa didnt waste any time getting back in the lead. This team wont be denied. Avs are in trouble.
