The nail in the coffin.Brenden should keep it. He has acted more like the Captain than Mike ever did. Don't get me wrong, I love Mike Modano and want him to retire here someday. Brenden just has the better demeanor as a captain. The play where Brenden was hopping off the ice on one leg as he went into the opposing bench says it all for me.
You want a Captain that will lead you into battle (in very sense of the word), defend his team mates, and get in their faces when need be. Brenden has it, Mike never did.
