PS. Captain serious too serious to say something? Watching highlights and hearing stories from the Olympic locker room on Team Canada....he was vocal there. And if he's not intimidated in that setting...

I remember there was a story that when Crosby was selected to be captain in 2014, he phoned Toews to ask if that was OK by him. The story was confirmed by both players.
I think that Crosby knows Toews well enough to know he is nothing but leadership. Hence the phone call.
PS: I love how Hockey player-esque that whole story is btw. I love how in our sport, the greats deflect praise, and always attribute success to the team. Pro hockey has a unique identity which i really like.
