Multiple outlets have reported today that Dustin Brown will no longer be the captain of the Los Angeles Kings. It's not that strange for players to be stripped of the captaincy in the modern NHL (it's happened to Roberto Luongo, Patrick Marleau, and Joe Thornton in the past few years), but it is a bit strange to see it happen to a captain who won two cups in the past five years.
I'm of two minds about this move. On the one hand, I don't want to get to worked up about the captaincy because I don't think it's all that important.
