Confirmed with Link: The "We got Karlsson!" all-day, all-night, party all the time thread (Part II)

[SharksAddict]

With most players, especially given this much build up time, I'd be saying there is very little chance the player could possibly live up to the hype surrounding them and we will almost certainly end up dissapointed.... But, as this is Karlsson, assuming he stays healthy, I cannot imagine a situation where we are dissapointed with him lol.

Also, over/under on him being the next captain if he re-signs? haha

Couture will be the next captain if Pavelski goes. But definitely assistant captain for EK65.

Poor Logan's never gonna get to be C.

SharksAddict I think you mean alternate captain

 

[FunkyPhin]

Planning on getting some Karlsson Sharks apparel, but am hesitant because he might walk, what do you think in your opinion are the chances that he stay in %s?

 

[Lebanezer]

Erik Karlsson called it an assistant captain in his introductory press conference with the Sharks, and if he said it, it must be universally accepted as correct.

 

[WTFetus]

Couture should definitely be the next C if Pavelski walks.

 

[OverTheLine]

Y'all are crazy. Just give the C back to Thornton if Pavs walks.

 

[Coily]

Vlasic for Captain; we need more of his interviews where he gets pissed at Kurz for doubting his goal scoring abilities.

If he walks it'll be cheaper lol

Replace 5 with 8 and you're good to go.

Linus will probably get like a 62 and you might have the longest lasting sweater of all time.

Hope not. Never forget Coutures crybaby interview about being co-workers. I bet Jumbo wanted to stuff him in a garbage can after that.

I would agree with this but I think they could end up trading Vlassic eventually if they're able to re-sign Karlsson.

It's now 1 week until Karlsson makes his regular season debut for the SHARKS!

Sens fan coming in peace. I happen to be in the bay area next week from Ottawa. Bought ticks to the home opener. Come find me wearing my Sens Karlsson Jersey.

GO SHARKS!

Couture should definitely be the next C if Pavelski walks.

A few years ago I would have laughed at the idea, but I’m on board now. Couture has matured a lot since he was in his early twenties and he’s the most competitive guy out there.

Vlasic would be an awful captain, from my perspective. Way too quick of a temper.

Why do I not remember this? I knew there were anonymous coworkers comments but I always figured it was from players with brief stints like Kennedy.

I never saw Couture as being the guy tagged for making those comments.

But it has been a few years, maybe I am remembering it wrong

Doug Wilson is the one who infamously said "co-workers, not teammates."

From what I can recall, Couture was interviewed against a playoff win against Nashville where he specifically had a strong game, but the team as a whole played fairly poorly. In his interview, he said he felt we had a lot of "passengers" on the team that night. I don't remember his quote word for word, but I vividly remember him using the term "passengers" to describe his teammates.

Which is a characteristic that I would want from a leader on my team. Sometimes you get lucky and win; doesn't mean you should get complacent.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Add another vote for Couture as captain. I have always loved the fact that he is frank about the issues with the team in his interviews. I appreciate his comments a lot more than Pavs and Jumbo who go with the, 'We played well but just didnt get the W'. Couture's interviews are a breath of fresh air after listening to DW, Pavs, PDB and Jumbo quote the company lines.

Yeah, DW said coworkers but afaik, he was quoting anonymous players. Nothing indicating Couture.
I also have 0 qualms about the passengers comment.

Sounds like something a captain might say to get his team motivated.

i feel like he's a little too serious in his interviews. crack a smile sometime, dude.

It was Doug that said "several players" made that comment in the exit interviews. Doug was also told later by one of those players to "shut his mouth and stop lying."
