The Captain Is Back

It’s safe to say that Chris Drury is back. Scoring-wise, he’s on Dave’s fantasy radar. He’s been awesome on the penalty kill. But, more important than that, he knows how to lead:

Hopefully I don’t have an ego in that sense. I never come to the rink thinking I’m better than anyone else,” Drury told The Post. “What kind of a teammate would I be if I had reacted with, ‘Oh [expletive deleted], what am I doing on the fourth line?’ What would that say to Brash [Donald Brashear] and Brian Boyle, who are usually on the fourth line?”For me to react negatively to being given that assignment would be disrespectful to the team, to my teammates, and specifically to the guys who play that role every night. It would show up guys like Brash and Brian.

I love that quote. For those who say Drury isn’t a vocal enough captain, he doesn’t have to be. This is how he leads. Continue the great play, Dru.
