Rod Brind`Amour gears up for coming season
Chip Alexander has a nice article in this morning's News and Observer about "The Captain". Perhaps Chip saw our recent poll and decided to ask Brind'Amour about the captaincy?
Brind'Amour, 39, is the captain of the Carolina Hurricanes. While saying the team isn't lacking for leaders, wearing the "C" is a designation he takes very seriously, has upheld honorably and intends to maintain.
Many fans seem to agree as the results of the poll indicate over 80% approval for Brind'Amour to keep wearing the "C". But the Canes need "number 17" to bounce back in a big way this season.
