From The Schwab at Blueshirt Banter:
Chris Drury might have the toughest expectations to live up to as a captain for the New York Rangers. Not that all captains don’t have expectations put on them, but when a player is given a C for the Blueshirts, it’s something a little different if you ask me. With Markus Naslund gone and an Assistant role opened up, I wondered if there would be murmurs of changing Drury our as captain, as I have seen different rumblings from fans about Drury not being up to par as a Rangers captain over the season.

What do you folks think? Does Drury deserve to be captain or would he be better suited for an assistant role?
Let’s hear your thoughts!

About Goal Line Report
The Goal Line Report will focus on all things Eastern Conference. Do I have a bias towards the Eastern Conference just because I am a New Yorker? No, but it certainly does make things easier! I’ll make my opinions known on Eastern Conference news bits (as often as I can), big games, hot and cold players, trades (I don’t make things up) and anything and everything else related to the Eastern Conference that I think is important for hockey fans to know. I will, in every sense of the word, be the beast of the East while also making sure to drop my thoughts on other hockey news items.
I, Patrick Hoffman, have covered the NHL since 2003 and have worked for a variety of hockey media sources including: Stan Fischler, Spector’s Hockey, TheHockeyNews.com, HockeyBuzz.com, McKeen’s Hockey, Blueshirt Bulletin, XM Home Ice Channel Hockey Blog, HockeyPrimeTime.com, FantasyHockey.com. NY SportsDay, and HokejaVestnesis.com.

Drury is the ultimate leader and winner. He is more of a quiet, lead by example kind of guy that speaks up when he needs to, and when he does, the team listens. Maybe he hasn’t seemed worthy of the C to the fans or media, but I can’t imagine that being questioned by any of his teammates. He is also very competitive, and I think a full year under a guy like Torts will do wonders for his game.
