Good move on his part. I think that he is right to say he needs time to learn english, but give him a couple of years of interviews and he should be good. Plus, who wouldn't want a guy that plays like Ovechkin as his leader. I sure hope the Caps start bringing in a supporting cast for him because he could very well dominate this league over the next 10 years. |

Ovechkin isn't ready for captainacy yet, his age and grammar contribute to that. |

According to Wikipedia, Chris Clark became captain in the 2006 offseason. I'm not a huge Capitals fan, but I've gotten the impression from various hockey media that Olaf Kolzig would be the best candidate for captaincy, were he not a goalie. Although, if a player really has those leadership skills, he shouldn't need the C on his jersey to have a huge influence on his team. |

I thought it was going to be Chris Clark.

Yah his english needs work - but he seems like he is willing to give it his best.
So who is the captain in Washington? They seem to be full of young prospects - none really stepping up as a leader. They may go the way of Pittsburgh and have a number of Alternate captains.

I couldn't agree more AO needs to improve his english before taking on the C |

I agree, it's a good idea for him to wait. Likewise for Crosby to not take a "C" right now is good too. Let them both build respect as leaders, and not just as good players. There is so much more to the game than being a goal scorer. I don't know too many 18 to 21 year-olds that are capable of leading 30+ year-olds into sporting battle. Give them both a couple years at least. Good for both of them.
