Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=238560&lid...s=headlines_nhl I was wondering a couple days ago why no one was talking about this. The first European captain to win a Cup. That would be huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I'm not getting ahead of anything. If I were jumping the gun, I'd be saying he will be the first Euro captain to win the Cup. Honestly, LGW really needs to get over this "DON'T BE PREMATURE" business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 But not as awesome as Crosby winning the cup, because we all know he'd be the first young and skilled north american to win the cup and that would just be spectacular/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
