Next Captain?

[Forlando]

Price

That worked wonders in Vancouver....

 

[habsfanatics*]

Lmao, Subban didn't even had an A last season and you think he's going to be named captain ? Markov, plekanec, gorges or prust are the candidates if gionta isn't back which sadly seems like he'll be there ...

You must have slept in?

 

[De Montreal]

Plekanec and Markov would be good picks simply because of their maturity, leadership and seniority on the team.

Subban would be great because he is the face of the franchise and wants to win at all cost.

Price is obviously the leader of this team but he is the goaltender so no dice.

Among the youngsters you've got Gallagher and Eller who could be good bets to get A's

I am not a big fan of Pacioretty's drive/effort and would not give him a letter.

Another solid choice for an A would be Weaver or Prust.

C Subban
A Markov and Plekanec
other As if injuries strike Gallagher, Weaver, Prust, Eller, Moen, Bourque

.. i dont ever want to see this

but I'm ok with the rest (C Subban, A Markov + Plek)

 

[highstick14*]

Pleks will get it.

Seriously. I don't give a **** what the Hockey world thinks. Subban should be the guy. He talks the talk and he walks the walk....not like a certain D playing for Buffalo next year...

 

[Clumsyhab]

It's probably going to be a vote and if so, no doubt in my mind Markov gets it.

 

[CaptainBenn]

Id be happy if Markov gets it

Next captain of #Habs: Gorges 1st choice: Markov. "EVERYONE watches how he trains, prepares & plays. That's what you want from your leader"

Can't argue with that...

 

[Talks to Goalposts]

I'd think he'd turn it down. Captain has media responsibilities and Markov would hate doing that.

I'd guess it would be Plekanec.

 

[uiCk]

Markov please, fk the media

 

[teh doors]

Markov turned it down once before, I'm sure he'd be cool with wearing an A and letting his partner PK wear the C

 

[InnuJoker]

I hope it's gonna be Subban but reality is it's either Markov or Plekanec who'll get the C, plus the other will wear the A. Slim chance Subban get a sniff at the other A, my bet it's gonna be Prust who'll get that other first letter of the alphabet. Please let Subban be our captain!

For the 100th time, no he didn't . Markov himself said he has never turned down the C, and Jacques Martin has said it was never offered.

 

[NoNachoNoParty]

Markov for sure. Nothing else makes sense. Transition till Subban, Tinordi or whoever is ready.

Oh, sorry. I only remember the hype around him supposedly saying no.

Take a deep breath

[Hullois]

Didn't Markov refuse the C before?

 

[CaptainBenn]

Didn't Markov refuse the C before?

see post above

 

[Koivu777]

I would give it to Markov, but he doesn't want it so give it to Plekanec. He did captain the Czech team and Jagr was present.

Everyone who is saying Subban for captain hold your horses, let a veteran with more experience take it first, his time will come.

 

[teh doors]

Not sure, someone probably knows

Did Markov refuse the C before?

 

[JayKing]

Subban.

 

[WeeBey]

I heard Markov turned down the C at least once...maybe twice. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Agnostic]

Sorry. This has been talked about so many times, mostly to dismiss MArkov as the captain.

Pat Hickey reported once that Markov had turned down the captaincy and had no interest in it.

Markov in a one-on-one Stubbs interview contradicted that and said he had never turned the captaincy down.

Jacques Martin confirmed that when they gave the captaincy to Gionta that Markov had never been offered it and had never rejected it.

Having said that I hope he takes it if offered, it would be part of a great legacy and career in Montreal.
