Great captain Iggy got past the first round one time too. Team just isn't very good right now, to blame it on one 37 year old is dumb.

Also the C is a letter. It allows Gio to talk to refs, and be a go to guy for media. There’s absolutely nothing stopping anyone from being a leader in the room or on the ice.
For me, I haven’t thought Gio has played worse than any other player lately, and better than a bunch of them. He whiffed on that shot leading to a penalty today, but then he was a warrior in the ensuing PK. He scored. He wasn’t the problem today at all.
