Yeah, you're correct, it was Danielle not Henrietta - don't know why I had it in my mind that it was the captain.

It still doesn't look good in any way at all to let your team's current Art Ross trophy winner get swatted around like a punching bag and not have anyone step in on her behalf, but it's certainly not on the same level as it would have been if it was actually Henrik in there.

I had heard some scuttlebutt as well that the players asked Julien to step out during that intermission and Chara/Thornton laid it out to the rest of the team -- I certainly believe that and it was likely the difference in the series. It was easy to see which team had the leaders and which team didn't have theirs step up.

I still believe that Henrik is the wrong guy to lead that team, just like Luongo was the wrong guy to be captain the previous two years. Time to find somebody else to lead, and the Canucks will be a favourite to get back to the Finals again next year.
