Speculation: Captain (Rolston - Captain To Be Named Today)

[NotABadPeriod]

I hope the team takes the ice wednesday with duct tape over the spot where the letter would be. Every 3 minutes someone rips it off.

Would be even better if the C came off with the duct tape. Wardrobe malfunction?

Every 4 hours they release a teaser photo ...


First, they'll show a close up of his pupil.

Second, his right thumb.

Third, his left knee.

Fourth, his nostrils.

Fifth, his mouth

Sixth, his right ear and a little hair.

And finally the entire image of ..... Leino as the new captain

Great idea! However, if Rolston names Leino captain, he will probably be fined by the league again. And deservedly so.

 

[couture23]

Captain will be named tomorrow.

Cool, can't wait! Hope it's Vanek.

 

[Chainshot]

We'll know later. I'm surprised they aren't tweeting it out one letter at a time.

Sabres.com have an "A" listed after Vanek and Stafford but no "C" yet.

Sabres.com have an "A" listed after Vanek and Stafford but no "C" yet.

Might that be a remnant from last season?

It is, yes. The C was obviously Pommer.

It has 26 on the roster with the 3 injuries. You would think if the new kids were listed, they "A" would of been cleaned up.

Sabres.com still list prospects that they haven't owned for years. Just because they update one thing doesn't mean they updated everything.

I'm still sticking with my prediction of an all vet captaincy. No Hodgson, Weber, Myers.

 

[Zip15]

C- Vanek
A- Ott
A- Stafford
A- Weber
A- Ehrhoff

That's my guess. They're punting for now.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Vanek - C
Ott - A
Ehrhoff - A

Have a bad feeling about this.

Personally, I hate the rotating-door nature of our captaincy lately. Dilutes the title.

I had a scary thought this morning that RonRon would name Kevin Porter captain...

I think hockey captaincies are one of the biggest farces in all of sport. The idea that a letter on a guy's jersey makes him more respected or a leader is silly.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Vanek - C
Ott - A
Ehrhoff - A

That's how I see it as well.

Agreed. You need leaders, but it matters not if they have the letter on their chest.

Is anyone actually arguing this? Being named as captain usually means you are already those things or are emerging as a leader.

As for being a farce, in what way?

 

[joshjull]

Was there any time set for this announcement? Or just that it will be today?

From my playing experience, as limited as it was, I disagree.

Dark horse Captain candidate: Taro Tsujimoto. He's ready.
