Flames smart to keep Rasmus away from media today, no need to fan the sparks because Dallas and Bowness are looking for anything to hold onto as far as motivation after a tepid game last night.
As for Tkachuk's words, he's not captain yet because this is legitimatly the first year where he actions speak louder(or as loud as) his words. Him maturing, the Sutter influence, and different leaders in the room/no Gio, have made that transformation into approaching captian material, but guys like Tanev and Gudbranson and Lucic have authority in the room, just not tenure, all of which matters to Sutter.
