From where we sit Pasta is more a leader than Mac....

Duly noted and you would know. Mac is a hitter and does a lot of charity work, but I don't have a feel for his habits and personality. He is a hockey lifer though.
However, Pasta is still so happy go lucky not sure he has the edge to lead. Maybe he can do it his way.....The captaincy might help him keep a more even intensity level too. It's pretty good, but Pasta takes a Siesta once in a while imo.

Pastrnak reminds me of David Ortiz with the Red Sox. He kept the mood in the locker room light, always good for a laugh, but when it comes down to game time he shows up and performs. If Marchand doesn’t return this summer I’d hope Pastrnak is named the next captain. He’s earned it

He seems to be the spokesperson for the Bs.

I agree he should be next captain but cannot help hoping that Brad will return for one more.

I haven't seen that. Pasta does play injured though. Pasta is not always happy go lucky. He speaks to players, coaches and stripes and sets up plays on the ice. It has been a blast to watch him grow into a leader.

Also, Pasta does lots of charity work as well. Many hockey players do which I love.

Hockey players are the best athletes for charity work. i don't know if is the humbling culture around the game or mostly Canadian culture but they are the best. Pasta certainly does play injured.......

I was leaning toward Pasta as Bruins captain after Marchy was traded, but after watching this interview I'm convinced he would make a good captain

..but the B's saying they'll be no C on anybody's jersey for the remainder of the season tells me there's a good chance Marchy is coming back next year

Personally I hope he comes back but really don’t like him being the captain it takes the rat out of him.

Agreed, and if I wasn't sure before, I was sure convinced when Caplan asked him - after a tough day on Friday, what his message was to the team before the Tampa game. Good grief, it appeared to me from his blank stare and rambling non-sensical answer that he hadn't given the team a clear message, or hadn't put any thought into it.

Existing players reeling, new players in the locker room without a practice, wouldn't you have thought he'd have a couple of good sound bites to send them onto the ice with. I don't know, "keep it simple, play with speed, trust your teammates" .... something like that? I was really disappointed, but it seems somewhat typical.

Exactly! Focus on the now and when the season is over then ill turn my attention to the draft and FA.

Except the “now” affects the draft a great deal. Not being cognizant of your situation and your future is the sign of a poorly run organization. We are talking about a professional hockey team, not a “self help” strategy.

The last 17 games of the season should be an audition for the younger players. I want to see what Merkulov, Lysell, Poitras, Khuz, Minten, and others can do against NHL competition.

This will give the organization a better idea of how to approach the offseason. Everything is connected.

I hope they win 10 in a row. Just fight until the very end and I’ll be happy. If it means playoffs then that is the cherry on top

I hope they win all 17 remaining games.

Also, I followed up on our 'raptor Jesus' conversation from yesterday. That went all the way back to ATL and Peverley didn't know anything about it until after he got traded to Dallas. I saw a funny article about him meeting some fans who went to a Stars game with raptor masks and signs. Thanks for telling me.

Rich Peverley and the legend of Raptor Jesus

To many NHL fans, Rich Peverley is the epitome of the working class hockey hero, one that the spotlight never catches but who contributes mightily to a team’s success. To others, he’s … Raptor Jesus. And Peverley’s completely fine with … Continue reading →
