Jonathan Toews versus Mike Richards








The captain for the Chicago Blackhawks is Jonathan Toews and the captain for the Philadelphia Flyers is Mike Richards. People though will be asking which, if any, of these two captains will be able to lead their team to a Stanley Cup and the following will explain my take on the whole thing.

Both captains are young being in the early 20s. Which brings up the question, which one will be able to handle the pressure? Overall Mike Richards throughout his whole NHL career has shown that he can handle the pressure as he in my opinion has matured much faster than Toews. Also Richards is a much louder voice in the dressing room whereas Toews is a silent leader.

The Philadelphia Flyers are a much older team than the Chicago Blackhawks which also helps out captain Mike Richards as Toews has a much younger group of guys. Although Toews in the sense is more skillful, Richard has that fighting spirit which you love to see in a hockey player.

Finally, in my opinion Richard will do a better job as captain and will utterly help his team which the Stanley Cup unlikely Jonathan Toews.
