Confirmed with Link: Sean Couturier named 20th captain in Flyers history

[GKJ]

Why now you ask?

 

[dragonoffrost]

What the hell took so long... he should have had it game 1 this season

Would have been happy having him or tk be the captain, but tk deserves an "A" on his chest at least

Yeah TK as A is a great move also made

Win a fight with torts, you earn your C.

See guys, the organization is a meritocracy

 

[Curufinwe]

The 1C with a C on his back and now one on his front

That’s 3 C’s, total

Interested to know if they think this has some sort of impact on leadership at the deadline. That'd be stupid, but I can see it. Weird timing.

Good choice though. It's been a long time coming for an understated Flyers legend.

Well Torts did say a while ago that he wouldnt know what kind of team he had until February. Maybe he finally is figuring it out lol

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

About damn time. He was back from the injury it shoulda been done (or once G was gone if he was healthy and playing I don't remember).

 

[philly_28]

Right move. Obvious move.

(Also, note to self: Don't click on the comment section on IG posts. One half is losing their mind over it not being TK. The other half is calling them casuals.)

 

[Beef Invictus]

Poor guy

 

[LegionOfGloom]

Wonder if this is a precursor to a Laughton trade

So you're saying he's just a 3C at his best?

 

[Danko]

Torts is a simple man. Tell him to go F himself and he makes ya captain...The guys got a kink.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Good for Coots, he’s been a solid player as a Flyer.

Would have liked to see TK get it, if the plan was to extend him.

Brokeback hopefully stays healthy.

Wonder if this is a precursor to a Laughton trade

Considering they gave him an A and rolled him out as the "new leadership" I doubt it

 

[DancingPanther]

Wow so cool

 

[BiggE]

It’s about time.

Might not have wanted to telegraph a trade and just put him there.


Wait that gives this team too much credit.

This fanbase can't handle having a captain. From here on out if someone slips on a banana peel the knuckle draggers will blame the captain.

Seems they felt it was prudent to wait until they were more confident coming back from injury
