Top Ten Captains, 72 Series Anniversary, Phil Esposito Interview And More...

Good Morning Addicts!

With the CBA talks on hold and another two weeks before we reach Shane Doan's self imposed signing deadline, there is not so much happening in the NHL world.

Speaking of Doan, NHL.com composed a list of the league's top ten Captains with Doan starting things off at number ten.

The list also includes the likes of Steve Yzerman, Ray Bourque, Sidney Crosby, Joe Sakic and more. It's hard to argue with some of the names on the list, however the order is sure to cause a debate.

What order would you put these captains? Are there any on the list you would replace?
