Thanks! Lurking for years; time to get on board

Be sure to join the GDT. We usually have fun.

I don't have any idea how Marchy being named Captain is perceived anywhere else but just about every talking head here on Montreal can't believe he's Captain. Meanwhile for me as a Bruins fan I don't see any other alternatives. Yes there are others and their time will come , but right now, I see no other options that make sense to me.

I couldn’t care less about what the Montreal fan base thinks.

I don't either , if they don't like it , I like it even more.

Is a Marchand who is motivated to prove naysayers wrong ultimately a good thing, or could it result in ….actually I’m not sure what it could result in, which makes it an even better pick lol

Has he mentioned how his hips have been feeling recently?

He looked fast and smooth yesterday. I think he will be fine!

Deserving: This was honestly the only right decision IMO. Nobody has shed more blood sweat and tears (not to mention abuse) than Bradley Marchand. He is the perfect "next" Captain.
One can only imagine the feeling a teammate would have after dogging it and causing a loss, to go back to the dressing room and to have Brad looking back at you.
Best of luck as he begins his captaincy tenure.

He's moving better than before he had surgery. Very explosive

I think it was from Movember last year. Someone replied to a Bruins tweet with it and I swiped it as my avatar.

Late with the congrats, but well deserved and the player I expected to get the "C".
