GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted October 1, 2009 Isn't Rob Blake still on their roster? If so, he'd be the perfect choice, being the senior statesman and a former captain himself. Man that GMR sure has what it takes to run an NHL franchise. I called it all the way. Dan Boyle as captain? Get real folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be so proud to have the same mind as a management that repeatedly sends its team packing in late April. Just sayin. I mean the guy is turning 40 in December. How long do you expect this guy to be captain? One, two years? Edited October 1, 2009 by Doc Holiday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean the guy is turning 40 in December. How long do you expect this guy to be captain? One, two years? So what? When he retires, someone else will become captain. It's not like Boyle or some other person will lose interest in the captaincy by that time. I'm sure the players had some say in this matter and won't mind having Blake as captain. The Capitals have Chris Clark (who? ) as their captain, so this isn't that bad a choice. Edited October 1, 2009 by GMRwings1983 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Blake could provide leadership, but I just don't think that having him as the go-to guy for one year is a successful solution long-term. And I'm not saying Blake wouldn't be a good captain.

Hopper15 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2009 This was decided in a team vote and Blake got the most votes. Best way to decide who's the Captain IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lamothe 5 Report post Posted October 1, 2009 And McLellan's not far behind if that team doesn't produce. Not McLellans fault, though I agree with you. Marleau was a terrible leader. His s*** was bad even right after Nolan and Friesen left. He may be a decent player, but I'ev always considered him to be a terrible leader. Blake seems like he'll do fine in replacement, and after he retires, maybe Thornton will get a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
