Roberto Luongo Relinquishes the Captaincy

It looks like the horse is finally dead. After Twitter erupted with news of Luongo giving up the captaincy of the Canucks, the official press release has sealed the deal. Luongo closes the door with some patented Ryan Walters corporate leadership-talk regarding focusing on the "ultimate goal."

Qris and Harrison accurately depicted my stance on the issue with their two posts, so I won't go into it too much, other than to say that it wasn't a necessary change from the team's standpoint, but it may have been a necessary change from a PR standpoint.
