All joking aside only a few Flames can even score 3 goals in 5 games...

2. Nothing wrong with a heated discussion, as long as it is done in a constructive way.

3. Wow a "hold out" arguement from way in the past, even though he was in the right at the time. That's laughable, how can anyone be your captain with those kind of standards. I've never seen a captain in this league get into an argument with his coach or management.

Your simply grasping at straws to save face. If Iginla moves, who do you propose be captain?

yes really.

and since your reading skills fail you, I will repeat myself, I wouldn't make anyone on the current roster captain, especially anyone under contract for next year. I don't even like most of these choices for an 'A'.

Well then, all I have to say is that you are just wrong. It's not even a matter of opinion in my books. Gio (from what the public can see) is a natural leader and has done quite a bit to earn a letter with this team.

It would be an insult to Gio to bring in a "Stoll" and slap the C on him after how much Gio has done for this team already.

If this team had no leaders outside of Iginla then fine. But it is clear Gio is a solid leader, and he leads through work ethic, something this team desperatly needs more of. You trying to hang him with a holdout that happened years ago, and when Gio was clearly right, is ridiculous.

I can read just fine thanks. If you expect me to go back to every one of your posts (which cover half of this thread) then give your head a shake.

I didn't realize how a bunch of fans felt was what made a player a captain material.

You can't tell me that my opinion is wrong when neither of us are in the dressing room with the guys. Maybe I am wrong and Giordano would be a good captain, but maybe I am not wrong.

I also never said there was no leaders on the team, I just said there is no one I like with a letter on their jersey. I think the guys with the letters should be fiery competitors and be fairly even keel. Basically the ideal guy would be a mix of Giordano and Bouwmeester, maybe thats why they both have A's, I don't know.

And if a player is insulted because someone new gets a letter before them, then they are not captain material anyways.

I would also like to say before Nystrom was moved I saw him as potential captain material, I was reminded of this when I heard Keenan's interview today.

Giordano. He's your most emotional player and the players respect him.
