Who will captain Canada?
In my eyes two names stick out the most for Team Canada captain – Scott Neidermayer and Chris Pronger.
Unprovoked, Canadian Olympic coach Mike Babcock threw Scott Niedermayer’s name out as a potential captain for Team Canada after being asked specifically about Jarome Iginla and Sidney Crosby Monday.
“I think Scott Niedermayer has a pretty good shot at it, too,” Babcock quipped.
When Niedermayer was asked about Babcock’s quote Tuesday afternoon, the veteran defenseman and captain of the Anaheim Ducks, obviously flattered, took the stance that it doesn’t mean a hill of beans right now.

Wow I missed that interview. My money is on Iginla (http://www.motherpucker.ca/nhl-news/iginla-should-lead-team-canada/) but if it was Niedermayer it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world either. Either of those two over Crosby and I’ll be happy!
