Sundin wears the "C". Naslund wears the "C". If I went around calling someone "Captain Clutch", I'd be sure to compare him ONLY TO OTHER CAPTAINS.

There's no question that Bertuzzi is grossly overpaid but every sane Vancouver fan knows that the team will go as far as Naslund can take them. Bertuzzi is a good player getting paid "great player" money. Sundin is the Leafs guy and Naslund is the Canucks guy.

Huh? Because Sundin is a captain I can only compare him to other captains? Now that's a good one! So, by this brilliant line of reasoning does this mean that since he's a Swede I can only compare him to other Swedes? And by this brilliant line of reasoning I guess I actually can't compare him to Naslund because Naslund is a winger.

When are you going to learn that the guy who wears the "C" on the jersey isn't the only leader on a team? Was Gretzky the only leader on the Oilers when they were winning all those Cups? Was Denis Potvin hte only leader on the Isles when they were winning all of their Cups? Hardly.

You continue to kill me tiger. Please don't ever change.

I won't. :thumb:

Who else is a leader on the Canucks? Tell me, please. I'm dying to know. Are you going to say Linden is a leader? Sedins? Carter? Jovo? Bert? Naslund is the only leader on the Canucks as far as I'm concerned. Maybe it's Auld? Oulette? Cloutier (hehe)? Ruutu? Kesler? Josh Green? Morrison? Oh, it must be Cooke right?

So why does Yzerman get so much credit for "leading" the Wings to their Cup victories? Why does he get all the glory? Why is Mark Messier worshipped like he's the Messiah? I'm just asking this because if these winning teams have so many leaders, why does ONLY ONE GUY GET ALL OF THE CREDIT for leading them?

Finally, stop putting words in my mouth. :thumb: You can compare Sundin to King Kong if you want. When the discussion is about players wearing the "C", yeah you should only compare him to other captains. If I were talking about Swedish players you could compare him to them also.
