The whole idea of naming players captain just because they've been with the team forever is a bit absurd to me. These guys get paid millions of dollars to play a sport. Their feelings shouldn't be taken into account.
Which players actually lead the dressing room? Love Backlund, but he always seemed like more of a quieter worker type, although probably one of the best workers in the NHL. That being said, I've never been in the Flames dressing room, so who knows.
