Long John Donair is far from an antagonistic person. The captainship positions he has earned is mostly from merit, with a little bit of stoicism thrown in there. You don't expect a big rallying speech from a guy like Donair; his leadership style is purely by example. However, in the situation given, Donair would lean into his playing style of crashing the net to get into the other team's heads. Whether it's adding an extra poke check going the other way or spraying the crease with some snow, little by little Donair will try to get under the skin of the rivals in question (probably the Pride, we've had some great playoff series with them). Now the last thing Donair would ever do is drop the gloves; he doesn't fight, doesn't like playing games like that. But his teammates know that and Donair also knows he's an easy target for some leaning or little pushes after the whistle, as he's the first guy on the puck every time. That'll leave the door open for Kierkegaard or Conaire, two guys much more likely to throw down.
