Lets Get It On !!!!

As many of you know, there is currently some controversy brewing between the NHL and the Vancouver Canucks. You see yesterday the canucks made goalie Roberto Luongo the team captain. Personally I could care less whether the "C" is worn by a linesman, winger or a center. The idea of a team captain is someone who can lead this team, who inspires his teammates, is respected for his on-ice accomplishments and who embodies the core values that you strive for as a hockey club. As a five time nhl all-star I don't see why he doesn't deserve it. Canucks defenseman Willie Mitchel and will handle communications with on-ice officials, and defenseman Mattias Ohland will handle ceremonial faceoffs and other such formalities that come with being captain. Sure I'm not a canucks fan but as a fan of the game i can respect GM Mike Gillis and head-coach Alain Vignault decision. Its going to be interesting to see what the NLHPA has to say. Sometimes you gotta break with tradition and do somethings to shake things up !!!!!!
