Realistically, Toews could be the better player and Crosby would still be the captain. I bet wearing the A will set better with Toews than it would Cindy anyways.
I hate Cindy, and I don't think he's a great leader because he's always been such a baby. But the team he's on doesn't have any strong personalities anyways, so he seems like a good leader.
There are too many teams in the NHL where the captain is just the best player...Nash had that role in Columbus for a long time. I don't think Crosby is a better leader than, say, Brooks Orpik. He is the best player in the world though, as much as I hate to admit it.
I agree, and thanks for calling him Cindy, at least I am not alone. I think the proof you need in knowing Cindy is not a leader, is the series last year in the playoffs, between Cindy's team and Boston. All he did was complain instead of play, and Boston beat the piss out of them. Then Chicago had a really good series. Also, to make Toews case, look at the Red Wings series. They rattled him, got under his skin, made him take a terrible penalty in like game 3 or 4(think it was game 3), he composed himself, and led the Hawks past Detroit.
Being the best scorer in the world, does not make you a complete player, nor does it make you a Captain. Cindy is the captain because Mario hand picked him, and he is his protege, and I am sure people would say he acts like him a bit.
