I’d just like to know what about him we should believe is inspiring or how he’s leading the team. Like what does he do? I think in the other thread we got some advance stats or something but I can’t imagine actual hockey players giving a rats about those numbers when you are on the bench actually watching the captain go through the motions and float around.

Woah look at that positioning! Amazing! I really like how he meanders around listlessly!

This is a good example of the disconnect between advanced stats (or any stats) and what the eyes test shows us. Like, we’re watching him, we know he isn’t trying very hard because we can see his arms and legs and how they move. That’s usually how we know if people are working hard or not. He’s just not, I dunno what to tell you. And if you think he is we just disagree and I think your expectations are insanely low for a NHL player let alone captain.
