Can a mod edit the close out date? I entered 5/6/15, but it is saying the poll will close on 4/27. Thanks

I'd be fine with either, but I like a captain with fire. The only thing we don't know is if a total flame out will hurt the team. But I imagine if Dubi got the C, he'd know he'd have to temper things down a bit.

Dubi has been vocal and a leader since he got here. I've only seen people suggest Nick within the last 6 months. He broke out a bit, but Dubi is the consistency.
Gotta stick with Dubi between the two. I would prefer Jenner anyhow.

I prefer to think of that as "folks actually started to notice what was going on all along".

Saw both of them last night with their families out having dinner. Good to see teammates together off the ice
Agreed. We should find out which player leaves a fruit basket for the opponent, he gets my vote
Yeah, because there's nothing in the middle. The Jackets should have had Dorsette as a captain long time ago...
Fiery? I prefer someone calm and smart.
Drags team into the fight? I prefer someone who drags the team to win.
Universally hated throughout the Metro? I prefer someone respected, but not hated.
Dubi is a great leader, I love his emotions and aggressiveness, but it takes a bit more to be a captain. Foligno seems to be a better choice.
Dubi doesn't drag his team to wins? He battles and the team follows, he always brings energy.
As for being hated.. Hes a guy other teams hates and his team loves. Hartnell is in the same category. Hated by every team but you cannot tell me hes not respected. Same goes for Dubi expect for by Sid maybe

Dubinsky. I've wanted him to be the captain since the lockout shortened season and that hasn't changed for me. I'm delighted with the emergence of Foligno but he hasn't surpassed Dubi as my choice.

So was Derek Dorsett!!! Did you say that the Jackets have to name him a captain at the time when they selected Nash?!!!
I don't watch every Jackets game but I can recall quiet a few of them when they lost because of Dubi's unnecessary emotions and aggression. He tries to drag the team to wins all the time, but sometimes his efforts work out in opposite direction. Playing 100+ games a year any team has to SAVE energy at some point. Maybe, just maybe, a captain sometimes has to tell his teammates to relax, calm down, and not just push them forward as hard as possible?
And you can't respect someone you hate. Period.

Dubinsky and it's not close . I know people like the hug , foligno wasn't an A this year correct ? Can't imagine a player going from a part time A, bypassing all the other so called leaders in one season. Seems like that would be a slap in the face, mainly based off one great season. . Culture changed when Dubinsky came into town .
Team was 11-0 when him and Boone played together this season

Its very easy to respect someone you hate. And Nash was a horrible choice for a C, a quiet guy who was basically the only thing the franchise had going for it so they did the ole lets give our best player the C. He wasnt there at the start when Nash was named but at the end I was in the MacKenzie corner. Also Dorsett as captain... thats a scary thought
That year Dubi didnt save his energy and we made the playoffs he shut down the games best player and averaged 7 (maybe more cant remember) hits a game. Theres a reason this isn't the 1st team to have brought his name up in captain conversations. I guess im old school, I like the in your face leader and is the first one to make or take a hit, the first to fight for a teammate, the first to say something when something needs to be said. Honestly feel like people are way to soft these days
Plus say Dubi gets the C that doesn't mean that Foligno, Johnson, Tyutin, Letestu if hes here, Hartnell have no voice or arent still looked at in the same way.

Both guys could do a great job...
But when I look back at the playoffs last year... Dubi is my choice
No one raised the level of his game more when it counted than Dubi
Not sure anyone else in the league could shut down Crosby for 6 games like Dubi did

I like our leadership group the way it is. Lots of good strong voices who can step in when needed. So part of what I'm looking for in a captain is someone who can keep inviting others in. And on that count I actually think Foligno might be better. If Foligno was captain, Dubi could still be the great leader that he is. If Dubi was captain, I'm not so sure about what happens to others' voices.
OK. Foligno was a captain of the NHL all-stars team and it looked like he was well respected by his teammates. He was the one who spoke for the team after the last home game. And Foligno was an alternate captain.
He hits, he fights, he can score goals, he's a good leader and also he can can talk to the refs with respect and say "Calm down. Just relax" when it needed. And he can talk to the youngsters as an all-star.
What else you can ask from your captain?

Yes but it does play a part though. Specifically, in raising the player's profile.
