I think we should give it to baertschi
yes really.Really?!
1. I can count on my hand how many times this year he took a bad penalty. Enough said.
2. Nothing wrong with a heated discussion, as long as it is done in a constructive way.
3. Wow a "hold out" arguement from way in the past, even though he was in the right at the time. That's laughable, how can anyone be your captain with those kind of standards. I've never seen a captain in this league get into an argument with his coach or management.
Your simply grasping at straws to save face. If Iginla moves, who do you propose be captain?
yes really.
and since your reading skills fail you, I will repeat myself, I wouldn't make anyone on the current roster captain, especially anyone under contract for next year. I don't even like most of these choices for an 'A'.
I didn't realize how a bunch of fans felt was what made a player a captain material.Well then, all I have to say is that you are just wrong. It's not even a matter of opinion in my books. Gio (from what the public can see) is a natural leader and has done quite a bit to earn a letter with this team.
It would be an insult to Gio to bring in a "Stoll" and slap the C on him after how much Gio has done for this team already.
If this team had no leaders outside of Iginla then fine. But it is clear Gio is a solid leader, and he leads through work ethic, something this team desperatly needs more of. You trying to hang him with a holdout that happened years ago, and when Gio was clearly right, is ridiculous.
I can read just fine thanks. If you expect me to go back to every one of your posts (which cover half of this thread) then give your head a shake.
Bringing this back from early 2012. Now that we still don't have a captain, would you prefer to give it to Gio or wait a few years and hand it to one of our young guys? I'd love a 20 year old Monahan as captain.
look at the date of the original post. it was 2012, so Iginla was still here.Thread title confuses me. Is this who we want the captain to be NOW or in the future?
Now should be Gio or GlenX. Future should be Monahan or Sven.
For right now using the same format they used before...
Captain: Giordano
Home Assistants: Glencross, Backlund
Away Assistants: Cammalleri, Stajan
I chose Backlund because he is one of the leaders in community involvement, can be a good mentor for all the you g guys since he just finished being the organizations only young guy. Stajan because he's actually consistent and extremely likeable in the locker room with his teammates based on interviews I've seen and read on the Flames website.
In a couple years we have so many character guys that could have the 'C' or an 'A' if they make the NHL:
- Monahan
- Baertschi
- Reinhart
- Ramage
- Gaudreau
- Arnold
- Knight
- Brodie
- Hanowski
- Klimchuk
- Wotherspoon
- Agostino
- Sieloff
The list goes on. I love how management has taken character, attitude, and personality, very seriously and it seems like it has become a priority when acquiring or drafting players.
Hanowski is widely known for his leadership, not sure where you are pulling this garbage fromBrodie, Hanowski, Gaudreau, Klimchuk and Reinhart are not character guys. They actually seem quiet and like background guys. However, Ramage, Monahan, Sieloff, Agostino and Wotherspoon would make great Captains.
