Seriously, tho', there's no question in my mind that Spezza is being groomed to be captain. It makes too much sense from a PR & advertising angle.

When I said that Phillips would be the next captain after Alfie, as I've clarified about 45 times now, what I meant is that he's the closest thing OTT has right now to an old school captain -- the kind of guy who plays 100% every night, wears his heart on his sleeve, etc. The captain in the Adam Foote mold. But that breed of captain, for better or worse, is dying out. Dressing rooms and coaches don't makes these decisions anymore; PR people do.

The only thing left to be determined is if Spezza is made a captain by PR people, or if he actually becomes a captain. Big difference there. And time will tell.

Except that it ignores the words of Alfie and Donovan so far.

I actually agree with rooney, which is amazing considering we're talking about Spezza.

I don't think there's any reason to question whether he's a vocal leader - all the evidence suggests he is - but he's definitely not Alfie in terms of on-ice-example-style leadership.

I always enjoyed watching Phillips loudly congratulate (fist pumps, helmet taps, high fives, etc.) all the guys coming off the ice after a win. (Does he do it for a loss too? I can't recall) He's always the last one off the ice. That certainly appears to be a fairly vocal style of leadership. That must carry over into the dressing room.

Their words have been ignored for weeks. I'll be saying so for months half a year from now.
