It just makes more sense for your captain to be a skater. In war armies would have their generals fight along side them. Take it as a morale booster or leadership by performance. Mike Richards for example...he is the go to man for almost any situation. Taking faceoffs, PP, PK, shutting down the first line. You'd want the captain beside you in these situations that define the course of the game...whereas a goalie can only help out in one facet.
not bashing Luongo's ability to lead in any way, i dont doubt he owns the locker room, but you'd want your captain to be one of the guys who are actively around his teammates.
