Question:

Who is the best Hockey Captain from the late 80's to now?

by | earlier

If you say Mark Messier you are a huge fool. The dude left Edmonton to captain the rangers for more money and then left the rangers, when his buddy Wayne showed up, for Vancover for more money. That guy is not a captain, he is a good hockey player who is bald and likes money more than leadership!

Messier's captainhood in Vancouver has to be looked at. I think that drops him down the list. Lemieux, Yzerman and Gretzky are ahead of him on the list,

Scott Stevens!!! He owned the Devils, and they did pretty well with him there.

Messier was a good captain. I wish the Sens had someone like him to shut Ray Emery up so he wouldnt act like a total jackass. Alfie is tooo quiet.

Yzerman, Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer, Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky, Niklas Lidstrom and who can forget Joe Sakic

Steve Yzerman IMO

Yeah Messier always gets a thumbs down from me. Stevie Y was top notch. Either Scott Stevens or Neidermeyer for the Devils 3cups as a distant second from S.Y.

I'd have to say Yzerman; entire career with one team...not a loud guy by any means, but quietly went about being a solid captain.

Steve Yzerman. He made Sergei Federov. Feddy wore 91 cuz it was the reverse of Yzerman's 19.

Steve Yzerman is THE Captain.  Forcing the early development of Cindy Crosby by making him the youngest player to be named captain and an attempt at fabricating the new "Steve Yzerman/Wayne Gretzky/Mario Lemieux/Savior of Hockey" has already failed miserably.

Steve Yzerman, almost single-handedly, turned around 20 years of failure.  Steve Yzerman made the Red Wings who they are today, and is a reason why so many players have been successful in Detroit.  No Captain has ever sacrificed so much while being so classy, so humble, and so hard working.  He asks nothing, expects nothing, and gives everything.  Steve Yzerman was everything you would want in a captain and personified the word "leadership".  There will never be a captain greater than Stevie Y.  Not Cindy, not Joe Sakic, not Mark Messier, not even Nicklas "Mr. Norris" Lidstrom.  Most selfless player ever to play the game, and quite possibly the most influential player in Red Wings history (yes I understand there are about 30 other influential legends).
