Yeah.. cuz wearing the C is all about how many points you can score. How proud can you be of being the captain for a 10th place team? Especially one that was supposed to be forming into an unstoppable dynasty?
All you need to know about the Pens is that Hossa played for them and could've signed a nice fat contract with them, or a number of others teams, for the longterm. But he took less than his market value so it wouldn't upset team chemistry (Lidstrom's gettin 7.45, so that's what Hossa signed for.. The Oilers reportedly offered him north of 9 mill) and signed for one year with Detroit.

Where would we be without the agitators of the world attaching the electrodes of knowledge to the nipples of ignorance?
