Ducks name Radko Gudas captain

[SeanMoneyHands]

He's a good leader, he's the modern day Shane O'brien.

Seems most AHL teams can do better.

The Maple Leafs ended the Tampa dynasty

naming gudas as your captain is like the maple leafs announcing Jake McCabe as theirs.

Want to talk about embarassing?

Ended the dynasty hahahahahahahahhahahaa

Time did that. Fatigue did that. The Maple Leafs are useless in April bud.

Compare the sentiments in this thread to those I n the Matthew’s as captain thread.

This guy and Foligno? Obviously these teams don’t actually care about winning

Your teams commitment to winning has really proven to be successful. Just leave the thread stop embarrassing yourself like your team does once a best of 7 starts.

Fighting for the cup is war. Gudas haters haven’t seen a cup win in a lifetime— so they think you can dance your way to a cup with a locker room dj. Gudas is definitely a leader in the battlefield. They don’t need a dance floor captain.

If I were to guess, maybe because of something like this...

I know a lot of people love it, because Toronto. But that's a pretty big POS move.

Your team just scored in OT to advance and your first instinct is to scream in the opposing goalie's face?

Love it. Hope more people yell at Leaf players.

You can tell who never played the game at a high level or at all by the comments bashing captains like Gudas or Foligno. To go further back, they made tbose comments about Lowry.

A C on your jersey is not a badge on the jersey of a teams best player. It’s not peewee hockey anymore where you can vote for yourself all 3 times or you get it because you’re the teams best player.

A captain is someone whose contributions to a team the average fan will not see. A captain is someone who sets the culture and for teams like the ducks or the Blackhawks, the captain is a veteran leader who’s been through it, seen it and is there to guide the next generation. They bridge the gap so that someday, a Bedard or Mason MacTavish can wear the C with honour and continue to do so.
