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.
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 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.
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.......
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.
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.
Jokiharju would?
I didn't have faith he would elevate his game from terrible to decent.
I hope they win all 17 remaining games.

I have to agree with you that Marchand being captain does take away from his overall feistiness or "playing on the edge", but nobody on the Bruins deserves the C more than Brad
