Huh? Let's recap:
(1) I said if Sundin and Belfour start justifying their salaries, the Leafs will be OK
(2) You said: Not trying to start a fight but I thought Sundin was "Captain Clutch". I thought he was the guy who could get his team out of a rut.
(3) I said: ...there is no disputing that he hasn't been on his game all season. Sort of like #44 on your team.
(4) Then you told me the comparison wasn't valid, because according to you, I'm only allowed to compare Sundin to other captains, which is pretty stupid. My discussion was never about captains - you said it was about captains. I made the comparison between a couple of high profile, high salaried players who have not performed up to expectations this season. Is this clear enough for you?
And back to your comments about leaders and captains, hey, if you want to go ahead and believe that the only leader on a team is the captain and no one else, go right ahead. I'm not going to stop you.
