While Cool, NOT the First

The Canucks home page claims Bobby Lou is the first goalie to be named captain. Not true:
William Ronald (Bill) Durnan (born January 22, 1916 in Toronto, Ontario - October 31, 1972) was a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender who played for the Montreal Canadiens in the National Hockey League (NHL). Durnan was an ambidextrous goalie, equally adept at using his right or left hand (he wore special gloves that permitted him to catch with either hand while still holding his stick). Until Roberto Luongo was named captain of the Vancouver Canucks on 30 September, 2008, he was the last goalie to be a captain in the National Hockey League. Including Luongo, he is one of only seven ever.
Not that any of you care but I thought this was interesting (thanks to Brett for that little tidbit of info).
