Ron MacLean Under Fire For a Ridiculous Unreasonable Suggestion
Ron MacLean is one of the least liked names in hockey. He definitely doesn't do himself any favours by saying some crazy things. He made this suggestion during Hockey Night in Canada, and he is rightfully getting roasted for it.
MacLean's Ridiculous Suggestion
The captaincy of a team is an incredibly important role. This distinction is almost solely given to skaters, as is dictated by the CBA, with the one exception being Roberto Luongo wearing the �C' unofficially in Vancouver.

Marks from has been very up and down in Calgary, which isn't what anybody is looking for out of a captain. MacLean suggested it nonetheless:
It's safe to say this is one of the more ridiculous and illogical things MacLean has said in a while, which is impressive considering he routinely makes terrible takes.
