MacKinnon or Landeskog?

[the_fan]

I personally think MacK should be the captain of this team.

Of course you do...

I understand that it's summer and not much is going on, but still...

No one knows who should be captain better than fans on the internet.

Hey we buy the jerseys, so we should have some choice on whos jersey we want to have the C on

 

[Avsboy]

Went with Mack. But Landy is a good choice too, and you can’t undo it.

Nah

 

[cgf]

Landy because he's our best player.

 

[the_fan]

Landy because he's our best player.

He's not even the 2nd best player

MacK
Rantanen
Landeskog

 

[the_fan]

Being the best player doesn't mean he should be the captain of course, I just think MacK would be more of a vocal and prove on the ice type captain and a better choice.

McDavid
Crosby
MacKinnon

Following that trend of best centers and captains

 

[Foppberg]

I see no reason to mess with what's already in place.. Landy has proved to be a fantastic captain.

 

[Pokecheque]

Yeah, Landy. I still think they gave it to him a bit too early, but that may not have been their intention. Hejduk was clearly not comfortable in the role and took the C off after only one season. Regardless, it's on the right jersey at present, no question whatsoever, as are the A's.

People need to realize the best player doesn't make the best Captain. The players in the locker room know who the leader is not the fans. The average joe thinks best player captain but a leader is not always the best player.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Double post.

 

[Perratrooper]

Go watch MacKinnon flip out against Bednar and watch Landeskog during the same video. Should answer your question.

A captain is someone who holds a middle ground between the coach and the players, in my opinion he should put his heart and soul out on the ice and be willing to do anything for the good of the team. That is Landeskog to a T. He seems to be very well liked by teammates, coaches, the community and fans.

MacKinnon is great, but he can be to much of a hot head at times.

What an incredibly asinine thread...couldn't we have waited for the season to actually start before having this thread?

 

[Balthazar]

Landy should stay captain but it's obvious that it's Mack's team.

Uh huh.

Well in that case! Lindholm for captain!!!!

 

[Raucherhusten]

I get it, it's summer and hockey fans are bored but ...

 

[The Abusement Park]

Well in that case! Lindholm for captain!!!!

Find the fan who’s bought the most avs jerseys. He should be captain!

 

[Ararana]

I'm not posting this video to highlight MacKinnon's actions, but Landeskog's. Mack is my favorite player in the NHL but Landy is the perfect captain for this club right now and going forward.

I know a lot of people here don't like BSN and AJ specifically, but last summer AJ spent ~ 15 minutes on a podcast detailing the things he's personally seen Landeskog doing in that locker room and around the team. It really gives you a new found respect for Landy. I'll have to see if I can dig it up.

Best player /= captain

 

[El Travo]

Baberiel Landeskog is all the captain we would ever need.
