When I saw the headline I thought it was a joke. When I saw the photo accompanying the story I thought, "Look at them laughing at their joke." But then I read the article and discovered it wasn't a joke at all.
Yes, the Vancouver Canucks have apparently named Roberto Luongo as their captain.

When was the last time a goaltender captained a team? I'm thinking it had to have been back in the '40s or '50s. I'd do the leg work to find this out, but I don't care to.
This is just a bizarre move. I can understand that he is a team leader, as is Martin Brodeur with New Jersey, as was Olaf Kolzig with Washington, and the list could go on and on.
But what's the point in announcing him as the captain? Maybe to add more pressure to being the Canucks goaltender?
