I just see Phaneuf as a player to set the tone during a game more than Richards, again, just my opinion. Richards obviously has a chance to be Captain, but I feel Phaneuf will and should be given the "C".JasonMacIsaac said:
I just see Phaneuf as a more dominating player than Richards, and maybe his teammates will follow off a huge hit or something of that nature....

Yea, maybe it should.JasonMacIsaac said:
I always do stuff like that in my posts, just because I see it as no question. I can see Richards getting the C though.

I'll take a guy (Bergeron) who played regularily ES PK PS on the third best team in the NHL as my "A" any day of the week.
Bergeron wasn't vocal enough for you last year???
Good. He shouldn't have been... he was an 18yr-old- he shouldn't be telling anybody anything -yet- at the NHL level.
He leads by example and by playing hard and not backing down. He went to and graduated from the Martin Lapointe school of leadership... say what you want about Lapointe -he is a ferocious leader.
I know the numbers of Juniour hockey look sexier in comparison -but if you look at what Bergeron did last year- there is no questioning him.
Ya, Richards is probley a great leader etc.... but if I'm on team Canada I've got more respect for a guy who played in the NHL, scored (a beauty) the OT GW in the Stanley Cup playoffs and made the Mens National team right after that...over a guy who is great at telling a bunch of 16 and 17yr-old what do do...
Let's not forget that Bergeron is the ONLY guy on this team to have won a Gold-medal for his team at a major tournament...

Not to take anything away from Bergeron, but his OT goal was paerhaps the softest goal Theodore has ever given up. In the end it doesn't matter, but I'd hardly call it a beauty.
It won't even be a consideration and that's not saying that Sidney doesn't haveoilerrick said:
leadership qualities but he will show his leadership quietly on the ice.It would
probably not go over well giving a C or an A to a 17 yr old on a team of 19 yr
olds especially when there are plenty of 19 yr old leaders in their own right.
Besides Sidney wouldn't want them to anyway.

We lost to the Islanders?!?!? Montreal wasn't the lowest seeded team in the playoffs, the Isles were.
I think Stewart should wear an "A" because this is a group of boys that have a lot of respect for him. And, in a leadership position, he'll step up and try to set an example.
Phaneuf will get the C over Richards because Sutter trusts him and is his coach! I mean, why else is Colin Fraser on the team? Nothing to knock against Fraser, great player but surely him playing for Sutter helped him get on the team.
Anyways, either Phaneuf or Richards will be good choices.
Nonetheless, great team. Can't wait to win gold again on US soil.

I hope that was a joke.
I don't care where the Bruins finished during the regular season, to consider them the 3rd best team in the NHL is laughable.
C - Phaneuf
A - Richards
A - Bergeron
I'm used to it. Boston does well in the regular season but stinks in the playoffs.bonefizzle said:
I dont think Stewart should have a letter. He didnt have a strong camp as he was one of the few vets to play in the last game against the UofM, I read an article where Sutter said he was trying to send a message to a few vets, meaning Stewart. I dont think you can give a guy a letter who didnt step up in camp, especailly with how many leaders are on these club. IMO Richards will wear the C, Carter and Phaneuf the A's.
