Today, Lindstrom as the C shows the fans the team is still focused on this season.

Whoa whoa whoa. When Yzerman had the C this team sucked? Whoa, this is truly new news. How in the hell did this team suck? No, I want reasoning for this stupid statement that came out of your mouth. I may not like the Wings, but they were by no means a bad team when Stevie Y had that C. Steve is one of the best leaders ever.
Anyways, I like the move for Lidstrom to be captain. Great choice, he's a great player.
