Gravesy Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I think it makes sense to allow Laf to keep developing without the added pressure. I can sort of see it with him too, but let’s just play it cool. It’s worth remembering that, whilst he took big steps to end the regular season and has performed very well in the playoffs, he’s been aids on ice for much of his time as a pro. Patience seems like the way to go for now, and in any case he has to earn it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 “aids on ice” love it. but yea let him keep developing. Lindgren or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It’ll be interesting to see who goes up to get the cup. I assume they’ll go based on the power rankings 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laf doesn't even wear an A, what makes us think he's actually a leader or can rally his teammates? Good play ≠ captain material All these vets have been with the organization for at least couple of seasons and none have been awarded the "C" to this point, and it probably means they never will. So it will be one of the 'kids' eventually. I'd prefer it to be Laf cause it looks like he's going to be a bitch to play against on top of being a point producer. i want that guy to be a leader in the lockerroom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already know Zib got pissed about the -2 you gave him mid-game-6 against the Pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still seems like a bit of a follower, and tends to suck up to Kreider and Zibs. Additionally, he’s always the first one the finger points at when they talk about compete level dropping, standing around, or not doing the small things to help the team win. and I’m pretty sure it was laugh getting screamed at by Gallant on the bench in the third. And that wasn’t the first time we’ve seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 No way imo does 13 get it any time soon. Too many guys ahead of him in line and his game while improved is nowhere near what it needs to be. Let's see if he can put a couple of really solid+ better seasons together on the ice first. Not sure what leadership qualities he's shown honestly to date. He was getting an earful from Turk for sure but Ferraro and a friend who writes for the Trentonian down here in NJ that covers the games said today during post game interviews that Turk was ripping all the forwards telling them to stop watching the fucking game and get the fuck going. Laf got a little extra on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other example is there to follow? If there's anyone who can handle the tough love approach, it's him. Remember earlier in the year when he'd be slow to backcheck and make defensive mistakes? Very little to none of that through the end of the season even until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersIn7 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 It’s Krieder. Trouba is the next best option. No one else is even really in the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdog99 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 If Zibanejad doesn't play like a captain for at least the next 4 seasons, we're f'd. Might as well give him the C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 CK is the only answer imo. His tenure and he's the last one off the ice every night. He seems like the leader to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
