Vancouver Captain Louie

So it'll be Captain Luongo and Alternate Mitchell, Ohlund and Kesler. I thoroughly support that decision and I hope none of the others are disappointed. Being Captain is a hell of a honour (read burden). Quote as to the reasoning behind why goalies cannot be on ice captains as excerpted from the MATTHEW SEKERES' article in the Globe and Mail:

The Canucks do not intend to challenge the so-called Durnan Rule, named for former Montreal Canadiens goaltender and captain Bill Durnan.

A member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, Durnan served as a full-privileged captain in 1947-48, meaning he was allowed to speak with officials.

Opponents accused him of frequently leaving his crease to argue calls at strategic moments and creating de facto timeouts for his team.

The rule, banning goaltender from wearing letters, was changed before the next season.

Now Louie is kicking around the idea of painting one on his mask. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
