I said what are they paying him 7 million for? Answer: To perform under pressure and carry the burden for the team. I would think that most people here would agree that a player who gets paid 7 million, whether worth it or not, should be expected to perform under extreme pressure and burden. If not, then he, and anyone who believes otherwise is a sissy in my book. One that wants the fame and glory and reward but doesn't want to earn it. I don't think Gomer is a sissy, but you...

You see, there really are people on the boards that know hockey too. Not just you! Beer me- You should move on, your argument is becoming even weaker.

There was never a question, yet he never played a game for the Rangers ......... Completely different situation, and you know it. Messier won 4 cups and then a 5th without Gretzky. Drury is an unproven leader with a bad track record since he won a Cup with that STACKED Colorado team. Messier walked onto broadway with the “C”.

I think they will keep up the tradition.

Messier willed us the Cup in '94. Everyone saw his lead and said, "F...I am not letting this guy down." Leetch was one of the greatest Rangers of all-time and one of the worst captains of all time. The team suffered under his leadership. Period. Granted the difference between a good captain and a great captain is small, but the difference between an OK captain and a bad captain is HUGE. IMHO.

Don't recall using the word "win". .......... 1st you said: "What the hell are they paying him 7mil for??" Then: "I never said the captaincy had anything to do with money." You lost me. We have different ideas of what the whole "C" thing entails from top to bottom. .... "You have attempted to alter my argument (as you do so often with others) so that you could put up a feeble argument to save face, yet you must admit that your opinion was as soft a viewpoint as any put forth on these boards." "save face" with you? hahaha "soft" what?? I'm moving on from this insanely irrelavent remarks. “Let’s not pressure our guys to win??”

Twisting there, no?

What bothers me is now people are saying "this guy _should_ have had it" and "the leaders don't need the letters" which +may be true+, but if you've got a sliver of sense you understand why Jagr (and other players) get the C. Well, Jagr and his clitorally sensitive ego are GONE. This is a NEW team whether you like it or not. The Captaincy should go to the person most deserving, and stripped as soon as that individual no longer deserves it. Again I don't think either of them are real Captain material, but going by last season I think everyone here would be pretty hard pressed to honestly say Drury's performance displayed more leadership and desire than Gomez. Honestly. I think a lot of people are still caught up in the smoke and mirrors surrounding Drury and where he came from. Quite honestly I'd give the C to Betts over Drury, I think Betts plays past his potential more often than Drury does, and that should be inspiring. Giving Drury the C is rewarding things you've done on another team, what kind of message does that send? I think Gomez would dig it.
