Speculation: Who will be the Sens next captain ‘’C’’

[TheDebater]

Chabot cause he is more reserved and calm on the ice

I rather have Brady be Brady and not worry about having to be clean and respectable cause he has the C

I am sorry, but are we asking him to captain an NHL hockey team or the Queen's synchronized swimming club?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Connor Brown

No but it might stop him from being a little dirty

chabot seems plenty worthy to have the C

 

[aragorn]

Connor Brown

I could see Smith putting the "C" on Connor Brown, he works hard, never takes a shift off & can play up & down the lineup in whatever role the coach needs. It would also help him distinguish between the two Browns in the lineup, coaches aren't that bright you know.

P.S. - get rid of that Leaf logo or I swear I'll shoot this laptop. haha

 

[Clayonator]

I think Bruce saying Chabot is the leading candidate for the C is wishful thinking on his part. Just like how he was holding out hope longer than most other insiders that Pageau would sign. That was more or less confirmed when Smith said no captain this year. Unless Bruce was speaking generally, but I think it was specifically pertaining to a start in 2020-21. I don’t think he has an inside scoop on who they’re leaning towards, and neither do I, though I think it’s Tkachuk, which I also deem to be the better choice. Our opinions differ in that regard. If we name Chabot instead though, it’s still a fine choice. Would you rather Roman Josi/Alex Pietrangelo, or Gabriel Landeskog/Jamie Benn as your captain? I’d take one of the latter two, and that’s nothing against the former two.

Nice to see Tkachuk get a "A", the guy not only leads by example, but he wills the whole team to work & fight harder for every inch of space.

 

[SensFactor]

It's got to be Tkachuk but if not then either Chabot or C. Brown.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Makes sense. Chabot is undeniably our best skilled player and the team goes as he does. He also steps up in the clutch and leads by example.

Tkachuk is the ultimate lead by example player.

This year should be good indication of who deserves it.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Chabot is a much better fit for captain than Brady, who's a tier one ****disturber and pest.

They’re both great choices. It’s not that important. I’d rather have it go to Tkachuk though, because I believe his swag and style is what we need as our captain

 

[RAFI BOMB]

Tkachuk is the best choice.

 

[Matsens15]

Tkachuk is the best choice.

Brady do have a good mentor in Keith!

 

[Matsens15]

Good point by Simmer. But, I disagree. A team need a captain at some point.

I guess Simpson never heard of Daniel Alfredsson

 

[Xspyrit]

As weird as it might sound, I know much more about what happens off the ice regarding the Habs so I don't know as much about the pressure/etc in Ottawa but in Montreal, being the captain is kind of a burden and has "hurt" several guys before so I totally agree with what Simpson is saying.

I don't think Tkachuk need added pressure, not at such a young age. Captain should have been Mark Stone. He should come back to Ottawa in two years when Vegas window starts closing and Ottawa starts opening

Recently? Or in the Ribeiro-Theodore-Dagenais Vs Koivu-Rivet-Souray era?

yeah that "era" was kind of entertaining but why just that one? I have been here for 30 years now and there's always a lot of talk about the Habs... Radio, TV, people, business, etc. I once had Daniel Audette as a neighboor, then my sister was living in the same neighborhood as Carey Price, Shea Weber, Jeff Petry visited her house when it was for sale, etc. I saluted Price and Subban a few times when they drove in Carey's pick up. Most hockey players live on the south shore. Montreal is a much bigger city than Ottawa but hockey is still a "small world". Sure there's a lot of rumors and 99.9% of those are false but easy to get a "feel" about the pressure Habs players face here. It's not as bad as before though because the Montreal population is so diversified now, a lot of foreign college students and not nearly as much people who follow hockey as before (in proportion). I'd even say that the ratio of Habs fans vs population is now bigger outside of Montreal...

I was just wondering. I listen to the Podcast '' La poche bleu'' with Guillaume Latendresse and Maxim Lapierre and they had Ribeiro, Theodore and Dagenais on the show. They were saying the room was very devided at that time. Koivu was more interested in his own points production rather than winning. Also , Rivet was a massive jerk from what they said. It was very interesting.

Yeah there was a lot of "drama" during that time. I think the Habs have worked to get more "quiet" guys today, guys that won't attract attention as much.

How about name both of them captain? One on the road, one at home.
