When I made that point, I was moreso saying teams that at least are cup contenders, and make it past the first round generally, but don't have to win it all.

But if there's a hurdle that the team and it's captain can't seem to overcome, then the questions of the captain's ability to push the team over the hump do seem to come up. Joe Thorton/Joe Pavelski was always labeled as chokers. And Alex Ovechkin also label. Both of these players finally did get to the Final, one did win, and the negative labels of those players were dropped then.
