Your right about the leadership, and if he were a wing I may feel different. I just think he plays dirty sometimes... I do not like the hits he was putting on us, I am cool with legal hits. You get leveled/hurt on a legal hit.. should have your head up and ready for it. I just see him go into the boards alot on guys with their backs turned and many cheap shots.
As far as his leadership I do not question that, all the coyotes seem to really really respect him...
Yesterday was kinda... iffy, toward late.
