[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 3060671, member: 2012"] Don't you mean the Isles "wang" show. :p Seriously, I feel bad for Islanders fans. They don't deserve this. News inserted (I missed this one)... [COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=3][B]Clark named captain of Caps[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [B]Canadian Press[/B] [I]9/13/2006 4:25:57 PM[/I] [B]WASHINGTON (CP) - Chris Clark is the new captain of the Washington Capitals.[/B] The 30-year-old winger becomes the 13th captain in franchise history after Jeff Halpern left via free agency this summer. ''The true leader in our dressing room has always been our goalie Olaf Kolzig but it's a technicality (league rules) that he can't be the captain,'' Clark told The Canadian Press on Wednesday. ''So I really had not thought too much about it until Monday when (coach) Glen Hanlon called me in for a meeting and told me about it. It's a huge honour.'' The Caps had been considering franchise player Alexander Ovechkin but the Calder Trophy winner politely declined, saying he wants to improve his English before taking on such a huge responsibility. ''Just him saying that, taking himself out of consideration, shows that he is a leader,'' Clark said of Ovechkin. ''To be 21 years old and say something like that, it shows huge maturity. And he's always showed maturity. He's definitely the best player on the ice for us and eventually this team will be his and he'll be ready for it.'' Clark played on Ovechkin's line last season, putting up career highs in goals (20) and points (39) while also registering 110 penalty minutes. ''Leadership is not a sometime thing or a come and go thing,'' said Caps GM George McPhee. ''It is an all-the-time thing. Chris Clark has all-the-time leadership qualities. He is a leader in the mold of one of our all-time favourites, Dale Hunter; a quiet man off the ice, a cantankerous, ultra-competitive player on the ice.'' The six-foot, 200-pounder was acquired from Calgary in August 2005 along with a seventh-round draft choice in the 2007 entry draft in exchange for a seventh-round choice in 2006 and a sixth-round choice in 2007. He has 55 goals and 55 assists in 356 career NHL games and was part of the Calgary Flames team that reached the Stanley Cup final in 2004. After struggling to stay in the NHL earlier in his career, Clark never once thought he'd ever be an NHL captain. ''No, never,'' he said with a laugh. ''My first two years were up and down with the minors and I was battling. My goal was just to stay in the league, never mind ever be a captain. It never crossed my mind.'' [/QUOTE]
