To be clear, I’m not saying he is a good leader. I’m saying none of us are in a position to really be able to assess.
Consistent motivation, energy levels, playing organized, confident and effectively in big moments and empowered, confident role players would be outward signs of leadership for me. Everything we lack, basically. We don’t have leadership.
You can only assess externally by how the group behaves and it doesn’t look like we have any kind of leadership.
The team often looks unprepared to start a game. They go brain dead during a game. Energy levels are up and down. They don’t seem organized. They don’t seem consistently motivated. Role players and depth players don’t feel empowered to grab a situation by the scruff of the neck and be massive contributors (see how buzz worthy Domi’s Florida game was). The quality control of our leadership players is all over the map.
He really is the worst Captain I have ever seen and previously that title was held by mumbles.
Great game by him. But still is a good alternate captain but not captain of the Toronto maple leafs. It doesn’t have to be a star player. It has to be someone the team listens to when he talks and leads by example
Still just an incredible thing to wrap your head around the fact that he's battling this horrible injury that's got him playing at 50% of his potential yet he just got completely greenlighted to go play in the 4 nations (which he actually played great in!)
