Good on the kids for stepping up to their mistake. I expect a good response from them and the message was received loud and clear.

Is anyone starting to think that Johnny might be the next captain over Monahan? Johnny has really stepped up his leadership IMO.

Nope. Sam Bennett is this team's next captain. He is driven, fiercely competitive, and more than anything, willing to stand up for Gaudreau and other teammates. That's an NHL captain. But that won't happen for a long time, because Mark Giordano is the best captain in the NHL.

Do you have access to all 30 teams dressing rooms and follow each captain? You can't know that for sure. Come on now.

Given that Gio will still likely be the captain for another 3-4 years at least (may just keep it until his contract ends), it is impossible to say who the next captain might be.

I'd wager it's more likely someone other than Bennett will be the next captain, just because we have no idea what the roster will look like in 3-4 years.

That said, Mikael Backlund will be the next Captain.

Backlund will be the captain and all assistant captains as well.

Including for the other teams. When playing against the Flames, clubs will issue an internal statement telling everyone to leave their letters behind.
they will not be allowed A's or C's anywhere on their jerseys.

When we play the Rangers in NY their jerseys will read R NGERS

Aren't you guys the least bit curious as to what rules they broke?
They were late.

Practice doesn't begin with the on ice session, there are always 1-2 hours of meetings, video sessions... etc. Monahan more or less says it in his apology, mentions being there a couple hours early for off-ice stuff.
