The Leafs-Habs game dropped the puck at pretty much the same time as this event began.

The Leafs-Habs game is more than half over.

Stamkos, Carle and Thompson will be alternates.

Would have rather had Hedman than Carle, but I can live with it.

Good for Marty! Great player and hard worker. Best of luck to him and the Lightning!

 

[Hockeyfan02]

That's the right choice...Marty's earned it.

 

[More 2004]

Yup, congrats to Marty!

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Congrats to Marty!

But Wow who saw that coming?

 

[More 2004]

In other news.. it didn't take OV to start his bid to repeat with the Richard.. he just scored.

 

[Necropolis]

Well deserved. Marty was the only option for me, Stamkos will get his captaincy eventually. I'm not okay with Carle getting the A instead of Hedman though.

Marty is god

Simply put Marty is the quintessential team captain, whether it be sports or (and i shouldn't go there) war.

Stocked for Marty! Time to fork out another $250, this time for a St.Louis "C" jersey shipped to New Zealand.

Good choice. St. Louis finally got his time to shine.

As he should have been.. Marty!

So happy for Marty! He deserves it. Will never forget the goal in game 6 of the ECF.

“Our discussions regarding a new captain began in June and we’re very excited to make this announcement tonight,” Cooper said. “Marty embodies everything a captain should be. The captaincy is one of the highest honors in hockey and Marty is well-deserving. We have a great group of leaders on this team and I’m sure Marty will receive plenty of support moving forward.”

Became a fan of Hockey 10 or so years ago, decided Lecavailer was my favorite player. Lightning won the cup and haven't looked back since. havn't missed a game in nearly 4 years.

I have a few shorter posts!!

I am not happy with carle shows he is long term plans. I am unsure maybe will get him to get head out of his butt and perform up to his pay but would rather had been hedman.

No brainer for Marty and Stamkos, and I like the Thompson pick, but Carle? Longevity or highest paid defenseman gets it by default?
