Any other NHL fans on the site?

Canucks all the way to the cup, think nothing else.
Once we get rid of Naslund or resign him for like 3mil and give the Sedins 3mil each then we are laughin. We will have all kinds of money to spend on some decent players.
oh yeah and they should make Linden captain as of right now because no team has ever won the cup without a Canadian captain.[/quote]

While I don't think Naslund is an appropriate Captain anymore, it has nothing to do with his nationality/ethnicity. How many cups would Detroit have won without Lidstrom on the blueline? Ask anyone on the team and they will tell you that he was one of their leaders. That's why he got the Captaincy after Yzerman retired (Yzerman is my favorite hockey player ever).
People used to say things like there will never be a black heavy-weight champ or that you couldn't win the super-bowl with a black QB. Which is racist, xenophobic, and complete bullshit IMO.
Sorry for having to disagree with you, I'm glad to see another Canuck fan here and hopefully we can have some good discussions.
Edit: Teams have won the cup with an American as the Captain. Derrian Hatcher led the Stars when they won the cup.
