Who is the face of the Blackhawks? Toews? Kane? Keith?

Face of the Kings? Kopitar? Doughty? Brown? Quick? Richards?

I'm pretty sure if you go to fans of each fanbase in the NHL they could tell you who their current "face of the franchise" is. A lot of them, like Tampa, will have posters, billboards and giant banners showing their star player (Stamkos). Lecavalier's face is all over that team too but now that he is a Flyer it is all Stamkos.
The Hawks could have a toss up between Toews, Kane and Keith as to who their face is, as all three of those guys are equally important to the team, but only one of them is the team captain.
Bruins is Chara all the way... have you seen the guy? How can you miss that?
Kings guy is Kopitar. Quick may be the more important player now but that team has been riding Kopitar's image for a long time.
