Speculation: If New Captain next year - Who

[Kimota]

Subban carried the team in the playoffs with great leadership... the C is his to win and to lose.

He's the complete opposite of what a captain should be like.

He's the complete opposite of what a captain should be like.

Do or die , never quit, momentum changing, articulate, professional, walk the walk type guys should never be captain.

 

[JLP]

If Invisible Brian is what a captain should be like, give me Subban. He has style, charisma, skill, energy -- a natural leader.

 

[FrontierPsyCHiatrist*]

He's the complete opposite of what a captain should be like.

He's still learning how to control his emotion, the maturity is almost right up there, and it'll keep on improving. As for anything else, Subban is captain material... and since I know for a fact that he really wants to BE (not to act like) a leader, I'll give him the benefice of the doubt, but I understand why people are still skeptical with him.

4 years after his first NHL game, Subban did see and dealt with a lots of ****, he proved his doubters wrong (like you) like any great captain would do. Subban is a veteran, not a rookie anymore.

You forgot the

Was it sarcasm?

Gorges is the guy.. Did you know he was voted captain of his junior team? True fact.

I would hope it was sarcasm...

Pleks

 

[Saintpatrick*]

Should be Subban but they'll probably appoint DD captain or something stupid like that.

 

[habsfan92]

Never Pleks, not Gorges. Subban still has a little maturing to do. He will get an "A" though.
My choice..........Carey Price.
Steps up when he needs to, speaks up when he needs to. Respected in the room and on the ice. No question, hands down.

Goalie captain is not allowed anymore.

EDIT: Actually it's a grey area seems Price could be named captain but not wear the 'C' when on-ice, Habs would have to designate a different 'on-ice' captain. I could be wrong...

 

[AllanMTL46]

If this was any other city, PK Subban would be the next C, or at least strongly considered, but since this is Montreal and we can't, here's my pick.

C - Plekanec
A - Markov
A - Gorges

This leading to PK or Galchenyuk once Plekanec leaves.

 

[Teufelsdreck]

Did he play in all six games against the Rangers? What happened to the player who was so hot in the previous two rounds? Did he peak too early?

I was unaware they changed that. My apologies. Would be the best choice. I was going to say that if they could allow it, and Gionta came back, then they would designate him as on ice captain.

They didn't recently change it. Goalies haven't been allowed to be captains since 1948.

If you are thinking of Luongo he was a captain in name only . He was not permitted to wear a C and the team iced 3 alternates for on ice duties.

I think even Luongo realized how strange the idea was because he relinquished the "title" after 2 years.

 

[SnapVirus]

Subbannnnnn

 

[vokiel]

Jonathan Toews

Sold!

 

[habtastic]

Just wondering why Pleks is an expected, but undeserving captain?? Like "that's how we would do it here..."

I have also been very impressed by PK as a leader, but can we not downplay what Tomas Plekanec has been to this team for many many years and how his work ethic is second to none. Subban with an A is a no -brainer, but when I look at the Habs veteran leader, it's Plekanec. He's a prototypical captain, at least on our team. That's for those who care who the C is. Personally I do and I don't think Gio was bad. Oh, and uh, looks like he's still gonna be captain...(better be for REAL cheap)

Didn't he "wear" the C on his mask?

Yeah I think he did.

Gorges wears one on his cup but it stands for something else

 

[Halifaxhab*]

Its fathers day weekend so Im hoping my wife lets me wear the C.

 

[TassieHab]

Whoever the players in the locker room deem is their leader. As fans we don't get a lot of insight into the locker room dynamics therefore can't really make an informed call.
