It will be Eichel, and will get the C put on when he signs

Hopefully that will come with a "captain's discount"

Okay. But I don't see why this equates to ROR over Jack
- chilliard77


It doesn't, well not totally, I'm just saying that the best player doesn't have to be the captain. And there are a lot of cases where it works better that way. Where it does matter is that ROR is a "good Canadian boy", and regardless of the fact that Housley is American it's still a strong pull to name a Canadian your captain. He, at present, is more captain material than Jack is as well.

Again, it's no slight to Jack, Pat Kane is a top 3-5 player in the league and he's not captain, but for a "good Canadian boy".

Just don't get your hopes up for Jack.

If I'm laying odds the slight edge goes to ROR. I probably wouldn't bet on it though.

T-Minus 7 days and change until Lehner's arbitration hearing.

T-minus 16 hours until the Juice's parole hearing. You can watch it live on every channel, Twitter, YouTube, CBSSports, PornHub, Instagram, Snapchat, Grindr, Bumble, Tinder, POF, really this is probably the only site that won't be streaming it live.

"Bruce Fromong, the only surviving victim of the 2007 O.J. Simpson-led armed robbery that led to the former football star's imprisonment, says he is going to testify at a Thursday parole hearing -- in support of Simpson's release."

It makes it sound like OJ killed everyone but that guy.

He was the only one that called out the team usually it would be the kids just going through the motions and waiting for the season to be over and then maturing more he's already there he hates losing that's something you need for a captain
- GERBE!!!75PTS


100% agree about the winning mentality. You can see the kid just despises losing. At the same point, should that have been said to the media or talked about amongst the team/coaches? As a captain there's a certain assumption that "what happens in the room stays in the room"...

It all got blown out of proportion with the "Jack fired TM" stuff, but he may well have been a catalyst there.

Still Jack without a doubt?

No response, just like this post. Much more eloquent than I would have come up with.

No, I got that point.

My point is that it's been the same few teams winning the Cups over the past decade

Since 2000

8 different NBA teams have won a title
10 different NHL teams have won a title.

Not this giant difference people like to pretend exists.

- sbroads24




Pitt was ONE goal away from not being in the Cup...
Golden state lost one game in the playoffs
And it was to the 2nd best team


There's no legit comparison when u look at the entirety of each league's playoffs

He got drunk, and it was his truck, but another dude was driving.

He was ROR's golf partner at a charity golf event in the afternoon before the incident.

Allegedly.

I honestly don't care because I think either would be a good choice, and I don't think either player could reasonably view it as a slight if the other were chosen. If Jack has an A instead of a C, he can still be a leader. If he has no letter at all, he can still be a leader. Same with ROR. The only thing the letter does is designate which players can talk to the refs about the the rules during the game.

A good leader will lead regardless.

*EDIT* Well, not allegedly anymore since he was acquitted.

You have potential but you still wobble off the right path pretty regularly.

lol of course he did it. Lucky for him no one saw him do it. And even if he wasn't driving it was still a dumb thing to do.
