Who does your team captain pass cup to first

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

I say bozak cause hes the longest tenured leaf

I agree

Matthews to marleau

nope. Matthews might be the future captain but he currently doesn't even wear an 'A'
Whoever gets it first, I think we can all agree that Marleau is the first guy it gets handed to

Matthews is the de facto captain though.

who knows maybe the conn smythe winner?

I wonder who makes that call when you don't have a captain, Babcock?

How bout we just wait till next year to win the cup when Matthews is named captain to avoid this confusion

Cullen, as a sign of respect for his seniority, and being a homeboy. Anyone else and it get contentious.

I dunno. It would be a 3-peat for Cullen and his 4th Cup overall.

I think it goes to Parise 2nd (unless Dub pulls a Tim Thomas, then he gets it). My dark-horse pick would be Prosser.

The bigger question for me would be: Does Koivu break his face from trying to smile?

 

[57special]

Even Cullen might be contentious, seeing as he's a fresh back-to-back cup winner with a bonus cup from a decade ago. Parise and Dubnyk could easily pull ahead.

Unless Parise absolutely kills it in the playoffs, he doesn't deserve it. Enough with the deferring to him just because he is local. He is overpaid, his NMC has hurt the team, and players like Granlund, Spurgeon, Zucker and Brodin have been quietly grinding away all these years.

Suter would deserve it next, but he won't even be able to stand to accept it.

 

[Terry Yake]

getzlaf--kesler--miller--cogliano

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Backstrom, definitely.

 

[OVrocks]

Ovechkin passes it to me

 

[Flair Hay]

Probably Buff

 

[AdamParrot]

Andrew MacDonald or Jori Lehtera.

 

[Koonta]

Wheeler passes it to Enstrom, then Enstrom passes it down to Bryan Little.

You mean Enstrom passes it up to Bryan Little as Toby is only 3 feet tall.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Andrew MacDonald.

 

[UConn126]

For Bruins, it would definitely be Chara to Bergy.

I'd think it goes to Backes over Bergy. Bergy's already hoisted it, Backes has not.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Probably Murray or Brassard.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Ha, yea maybe.. Never thought of that... Hopefully we find out.

 

[Conbon]

Getz to Kesler.... just to make Hfboards sick to their stomach when kesler lifts it .

Kesler would cheap shot Getzlaf before he hands him the cup out of habit.

 

[Armourboy]

Josi has to give it to Rinne first. Rinne to Fisher. Fisher to whoever happens to be nearby (or Hartnell, maybe).

As gracious as both are, Josi might get tired of holding it as Rinne and Fisher keep deferring to one another

 

[93LEAFS]

Another question is who lifts it first for Vegas and Toronto, both not having a captain. Bozak for Toronto? Engelland or Neal for Vegas?

I would assume Marleau. Long career with a significant amount of success but hasn't won the Cup.

 

[Hal 9000]

Vegas doesn't have a captain!

 

[The Apologist]

I say bozak cause hes the longest tenured leaf

Agreed. And he passes it to Naz and the Leaf boards collapse as the rival gangs lose their shit.

 

[HBK27]

Greene (C) to Zajac (A) to Hall (A) to Boyle.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Greene, Boyle, Hall, Zajac.

 

[Star67]

Crosby to Matt Murray

 

[Alicat]

I'd think it goes to Backes over Bergy. Bergy's already hoisted it, Backes has not.

I agree. I think it would go Z, Backes and if Wingels plays, him and then Bergy

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Since it’s gonna be a potentiel dynasty in the making, Id give it to Malkin.
