Confirmed with Link: Shea Weber is the new captain of the Montreal Canadiens

[HockeyDBspecialist]

I think people are forgetting here that Byron was chosen Assistant over Turtleneck

Let’s give plekanec his 2 games and dump his a$$

He’s finished

it's probably what they are going to do to be frank, They aren't as "courtois" with Veterans than Detroit.

 

[Kriss E]

k cool

pressure won't affect Weber, i'm not even sure he has a pulse most of the time so

Hard to be affected by the pressure when you aren't playing...

 

[Omar]

They should have looked to trade him when he came back from injury. Babcock would have paid a lot for him. Now he’s here til he breaks down. Another CHaracter move :|

 

[Kimota]

They could have waited, he won't return until December. Again MB failed to leave some cards off the table thinking about future events. Like if they are last by then and are thinking of trading him. Short term bullshit.

Like when he signed Price.

 

[Kriss E]

Good choice. Oh and for those who wished he was/will be traded. As long as Bergie is still the GM. He was never going anywhere.

That was obvious. No way Bergevin trades Weber as it would show he failed this Subban vs Weber trade.
The hope is he gets fired and whoever comes in does.

More interviews with the media.

I think this will be funny. He has a certain..." you are an A Hole and are asking me stupid questions " air about him that is always going to be on display.

 

[SquiddFX]

Not surprising at all. Weber was the likely choice. I would have liked to see Gally with the C but Weber is a good choice.

I think they wanted to avoid having an extra distraction, especially when it was obvious Weber has been their guy since they traded for him.

 

[OnTheRun]

I'm surprised they decided to break with tradition and anoint a captain.

Half the team never played with the legendary leader, they didn't want to risk a vote I suppose.

 

[NotProkofievian]

''Captain of the Montreal Canadiens here!''

 

[Stive Morgan]

Where did I said I would prefer Pac ?
I love Weber, but would have preferred Byron or Gal

Not saying you did, and I agree with you. I was just saying Weber puts in more effort than our previous captain did.

oh Definitely, hell the guy was playing with a big injury and didn't want to stop, He's dedicated

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I look at Facebook comments about this and its crazy how Weber is seen as a leadership god..

All of that because of playing on Team Canada.

He'll stare down his teamates into submission. Just by looking at them they will have the right attitude.

 

[Tourist]

Sometimes sports news make me feel really happy. I like that Weber is the new captain, but I'm really happy Lord Byron gets the A. Such a likeable dude.

Go Ti-Paul Go!

Danault is a part of the middle age core along with Gallagher and Byron. Funny how this board continues to underrate him.

Danault isn't part of any core of any NHL team....at least not at this point.
He's barely a 30-40pts players with less than 200 games in the NHL. It's like saying Eller or Shaw is\was part of the core. Byron and Gallagher are in the 400 games ranges. I think you are overating him (Funny how you love the little guy like him or Desharnais but hated the guy like PK and Price)

Austin Matthews had that same look at warmup Saturday when he got interviewed rink side by Marc Denis (not sure). You could actually feel his internal sigh as he was about to start the interview.

Wouldnt be surprised Matthews ditches Toronto when he'll be close to FA. He already seems irrate with media types, he ain't gomna last there.

Haha I didn't even notice Lord Byron was given an "A". Love it, he's a great example for our young kids to follow.

Like it or not Danault is an important part of this team now and going forward. If you are saying Danault isn't the part of the core of any nhl team, you may be right. But every NHL needs a Danault somewhere in the line-up.

One is a leader. The other one, a cheer leader.

Why do you always have to make this about you?

 

[Maitz]

That’s it Ti-Paul!! Now they have to find a helmet that fits on his head!

 

[Kimota]

He was their guy then but things changes quickly in the modern NHL. That is Bergevin's problem, failing to adapt.

 

[Pickles]

One is a leader. The other one, a cheer leader.

One is highly overrated the other leads by example in the playoffs

 

[1909]

One is highly overrated the other leads by example in the playoffs

Neither ever won a Cup !

 

[KevSkillz4]

With Nashville, Weber has one of the best captain in the league. It's amazing choice. Great player and leader.

 

[Whalers Fan]

Forget about trading him for the next few years at least even if his play goes drastically down. Way to handcuff the team even more.

A player wearing the C has never stopped the Habs from trading him away in the past. Why would this time be any different?
