How about we win a series first before worrying about this ****
its been almost 3 years without a captain now. Which tells me that it doesn't matter if there is a captain or not. The team still operates, they are still winning, the fans are still showing, the games are still on TV, it has been business as usual for 3 years so why does it matter if they have a captain or don't have a captain? 3 years says it doesn't matter.
so why rock the boat here. Carry on without a captain, after all they haven't needed one since 2016 which means they clearly don't need one. why risk screwing up a good dressing room chemistry, especially when they don't need to?
Lol.
They havent accomplished anything since 2016 - not sure why you are acting like they've been totally fine the past 2.5 seasons
they haven't accomplished anything.. except going from last place to first, signing matthews, tavares... the list goes on.. and all without a captain..uh huh..seems to me like they HAVE been totally fine the past 2.5 seasons without a "C"
Last to first? When were they ever "first", or best team in the NHL?
People need to relax here - this team has accomplished absolutely nothing so far

they were in 1st on at least one occasion this season but sorry i'm not nerdy enough to actually go look it up, maybe that's a job for you? i'll wait
Wow - high standards...
Last to playoffs in a year is pretty impressive.
Last to (currently) 2nd place in the league is pretty impressive.
That's hardly "absolutely nothing". In fact it's "really something".
We may not win this year (or any other year for that matter) but we are doing something exciting, and extraordinary and I'm not going to "relax" while that's going on. This is the most positive I've been about this team in 25 years or so. Maybe the most since.... they last won the cup.
Anyways back to the topic. I like the idea of giving the honour to Marleau, or even Tavares for their seniority. But it really is Matthews' team, and he should get it.
Nice dream to have, nice problem to have.
