Speculation: Who will be named Habs captain?

[MXD]

It's going to be DD, you gotta speak french to be the captain, Jesus can we get rid of this Molson tool, bring back Uncle George

You can. You just have to give him something like 1 billion.

There's another question that goes with the nomination of the Captain.
Who will be left without a letter?

Probably Markov

 

[General Fanager]

Probably Markov

and Pleks


Gallagher and Subban with the A and Patches with the C

Let's be honest here. The only captain is Price. Patches and PK are pretty much co-captains in waiting anyways with Markov and Plex being the older transitioning guard.

i picked Patches but only because I think he's probably perceived as being more of the subdued leader than PK being more of a rah rah type captain. I think they'd both make fantastic captains but there can only be one and Patches seems a bit more even keel which is what I think you need in a captain.

PK is the only guy that can really "rival" Price in terms of leadership presence, whether or not that's a good thing, I don't know. Then again, they're pretty ****ing tight, so I don't think it'd be an issue. They're both winners.

As long as it's not Gorges I don't care who it is.

2016 1st for Gorges, and immediately name him captain.

Well there's now ten million more reasons why PK should get the C. Plus this is Montreal, and PK is way more charismatic than the other candidates -- his style reflects the city IMO.

This is bang on.

Pacioretty likely has the captaincy, however Subban encompasses the raw emotion, superb talent, dedication to perfection and leadership that this great storied franchise needs and that's not a knock on Pacioretty, who has many of the same qualities as PK, only a little watered down in comparison imo. And what a charitable foundation! Takes all the steam out of the 'selfish PK' naysayers.

Go Habs Go!

Pk should be named captain no matter what, his charisma has charisma

Are you serious

 

[CaptainBenn]

Are you serious

I dont like his antics
He was living at Gorges... and it shows
(Not saying hes not good... Has nothing to do with that)

 

[HabsQC]

Peekay

 

[The Great Weal]

Will it be announced before or after pre-season?

 

[Tarasenko]

What about a co-op C splitted between Subban and Pacioretty like the Sabres in the past?

 

[CupInSIX]

what did Gorges do on 24CH that made you guys hate him? I never saw the show.

Seems like a good guy to me.

 

[FrontierPsyCHiatrist*]

Pacioretty is a great player and a great captain.

 

[Habsawce]

This will take some getting used to. I really thought it should have been Subban, the fit is just too perfect for the city and franchise. Oh well, players went with the guy respected by the refs and other teams more. It makes sense, I suppose.
