Guhle has more of a captain’s attitude than Suzuki – Luc Gélinas

After being asked if Guhle was the Canadiens’ captain in his eyes, Morissette said yes, and to that, Gélinas specified that he shares the same opinion.

“I think he has more of a captain’s attitude than Suzuki. It doesn’t take anything away from Nick, but I really see Kaiden as an ultimate captain.” – Luc Gélinas

In response, Louis Morissette said he simply doesn’t get the impression that the captain title suits Suzuki. He’s there to play hockey.

“He looks like a hockey geek, really. Don’t think about what you have to say to your teammates and journalists, focus on your game. That’s what you’re paid for and that’s fine.” – Louis Morissette

It’s hard not to agree with them, because clearly, Suz doesn’t have the ideal profile of a captain.

And before you stone me, I’m not saying Suzuki is a bad captain, I’m just saying that when we think of a captain, #14 isn’t the first one who comes to mind.

Of course, there are several types of captains, but let’s say Suzuki doesn’t have the makings of a Jonathan Toews, Patrice Bergeron, or Sidney Crosby.

As I mentioned earlier, Suzuki prefers to convey his message on the ice by showing an example to others.

Even if Guhle has barely more than 150 games of experience in the NHL, we can immediately see what kind of player (and teammate) he is.

A bit like Shea Weber, I think. There are differences in their game, but there are many similarities, including the captain’s attitude.

The two guys had really good arguments on the subject, but they discussed several other interesting topics.
