Confirmed with Link: Nick Foligno (35th captain of the Blackhawks)

[Blackhawks]

This is stupid, it should have been Bedard from last year, what a pathetic clueless management…

i'm always taken aback by the things you take issue with. it's basically always petty contrarian nonsense, but you have a way of getting so worked up over things that have minimal to no salience.

Am I reading this right, you wanted us to give Bedard the C last year in his rookie season as an 18yo?!?

Oh you’re reading another Blackhawks (the poster) classic.

I know I'm making the mistake of reading a post by that user but not everyone has to be Toews (who also said in retrospect he was probably not ready when he was made captain). Bedard only just turned 19 two months ago and the team is going to suck balls again this year. Foligno is much better positioned to wear the C in these circumstances

 

[Panzerspitze]

Kinda like Ethan Moreau with the Oilers.

 

[Behn Wilson]

Well deserved, I thought he should have been named Captain last year also

 

[featherhawk]

Great move, when Connor Bedard is ready it will be his team to be a Captain of. Nick showed last year why he is a C. Happy to hear this news.

Giving any rookie the C is clueless. Back to your cave.

 

[Kurtosis]

Giving any rookie the C is clueless. Back to your cave.

An 18 year old rookie nonetheless.

 

[Bubba88]

Bedard will get the C after him. No need to put more pressure on him. This won't change much other than showing some respect to the veteran leader of this team.

He earned it.

Why do you follow this team then? No matter what they do or who does it is always pathetic and clueless or whatever. Why bother?

Folingo was the right and natural choice as for now. He was the leader last season and he really earned that C.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Having a letter doesn't make you a leader. Foligno was the captain of this team all last year without the C.

 

[Pertti]

I would rather be without C until Bedard or other youngling was ready to carry it.

If team had to have C then Foligno is best option but if our team is slightly better then Foligno can't be much worst than he was last season or our new C is eating popcorn.

I just have to wonder why you guys are even reading it...

I enjoy reading trash, obviously.

 

[Praetorian Caps]

Seems like a top tier choice to wear the C.

 

[dj Mahoney]

A smart move and buffer for Connor. Bedard has to talk enough to the media .

 

[Melrose Munch]

Says everything about Seth Jones

Good for Nick Foligno

Toews wasn’t much older, tf you geniuses talking about as if it’s something that has never happened before in the history of the sport lol, this management is clueless, less clueless than Stan the Man but pretty close on the stupidity index.

Name me the last 18yo rookie who was named captain of an NHL team.

Toews, captain Canada, is the exception not the rule.

 

[BobbyJet]

For the record:
The youngest permanent NHL captain in history is Connor McDavid, announced as captain by the Edmonton Oilers on October 5, 2016, at the age of 19 years and 266 days. Player is still active as captain of their team.

The player who may go down in history as the best forward to ever play in the NHL.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Like Sidney Crosby, a top ten player all time called Toews and asked if it was alright if he was the captain of the Olympic team instead of Jonny. Dude was special.
