On top of being irritated about the all-Canadians thing as an Oilers nonnie I'm feeling very pearls clutch-y about this plus the fact that apparently it's now a foregone conclusion that he'll also be the Oilers captain.

It's so much pressure on someone who had a pretty terrible injury last year and only played half a season. Like I know he's mentally strong and whatever but like. Can we give the kid a break?? Does he need to save the world right this second??
