The ability to deliver headshots that cause injuries and a history of fines and suspensions isn't a qualification I want in my captain. But hey, that's just me. Clearly you think being a dirty player is something to reward.
Ovechkin was suspended for not going to the All Star Game, the most important date on the calendar. Not very leader-like.

At least Wilson is suspended for defending his team's honour.

Dayum....Holes in his game? Not many holes in his game and the ones he has are pretty small. And this is from someone that doesn't like him.

Aren't you being a little critical? I mean he did he just get your team to the Stanley Cup Finals.:noidea:

Critical? I just gave him major props. Just acknowleging some of the criticism for his play outside of scoring goals had some merit.

He talks like someone who doesn't watch the sport very much, who is just parroting the comments of people who don't watch the sport very much....because he doesn't watch the sport very much.

Groupthink idiocy.

What I’m saying here is, Tom Wilson should be the captain of the Washington Capitals.

While satirical, the reality isn't that far off.

The people who don't watch Washington or don't know the sport will see his big "bad" hits and think he's a goon. Anyone who has even a year's worth of knowledge of the sport will see how actually critical Tom Wilson is.

If Tom Wilson could add some Corey Perry to his game, he'd be one of the best of our generation.

Good point by Sid of Tim & Sid - Stamkos is getting very little heat for being a no-show in the final two games of the series (and he wasn't even that noticeable during the entire playoffs). Imagine if it's OV and how bad he would be getting ripped today if he pulled a Stamkos.

1 G & 0 assists in the last 4 games of the series. If that were Ovie that fatass Milbury would be ripping him non-stop.

I'm assuming Stamkos was hurt. He did nothing 5 on 5 the entire playoffs.

He missed some time leading up to the playoffs with a knee injury. I guess it never got better. He was clearly not himself the whole playoffs.

Last year OV played with the knee the size of a basketball thanks to Kadri who was dirty again this year btw and he was given no quarter by any one so F stamkos for playing like shit even if being hurt.

Statistically, this was Stamkos' best playoff so :noidea:

Even if he disappeared in the last three games he had 4 goals and 6 points in the first 4 games.

I just think there's something about his game that's been lost because of the laundry list of pain.
