MT is da real captain

O Captain! My Captain!
BY WALT WHITMAN

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

I mean it makes sense. None of the 4 candidates have emerged ahead of one another. All 4 are also having great seasons. You're 100% right that this is Carey Price's team.

Huh ?

Have you not watched Pacioretty this year ?

My biggest question mark with him remains the playoffs and in terms of everything else, I don't see how he's that much ahead of the other 3 either. Yes he's composed and mature but the others have their own way of leading.

Sounds like Yvan Cournoyer mourning the passing of Le Gros Bill.:nod:

1) Carey's team
2) How does this affect the relationship between Subban and Pacioretty when they have both openly stated they wanted the C?

If it does in any negative way then neither deserves to be the captain for the sake of the team's chemistry

Told y'all so... Subban's diving, slew-footing and farting took him down a few pegs and Pacioretty is a sniper who is not excatly proven in the playoffs - both are not ideal choices for next year. Patches doesn't need the pressure and Subban didn't earn it.

Besides, Price is this team's leader and superstar.

For the 10000th time make them share the C instead of the A. Like that everyone is happy.

Patches has shown more than just being a sniper this season. Barring a bad playoff, the C has his name all over it.

MB is just making sure not to stir the pot at this time of year with that comment.

Or he doesn't see any of the candidates ahead and is giving an honest take on the subject. If didn't want to stir the pot at all, he could've just said "no comment" or "we'll see".

Carey's our biggest leader.

That said, between Pacioretty and Subban, of course, Pacioretty has shown he can be the captain. But let's not forget who's the playoff leader (apart from Price). It's been Subban. Dude was dominating last year.

"We'll see" is basically what he saying with that comment, in my mind. I think there is at least someone on the inside track for the designation, and I don't expect him to reveal that.

So if they win the cup Markov will lift it as the senior 'A' ?

Maybe that will make him smile.
