If you got a captain name him now, put the C on his jersey for the first game of the year then you can do your over the top celebration on the home opener. I agree, but I'm old school. In my competitive playing days, you'd leave practice during camp one day, the next day when you arrived back at the rink the jersey's would all be hanging in the stalls and one of them would have a 'C' on it and two more would have an 'A' on them - simple as that, nothing more, nothing less. But I think we all knew that Aquaman would milk every single last drop of publicity he could from this 50'th season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brouhaha Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 While I'm not one for huge ceremonies for things like naming a captain, I do believe that it's a big moment for our club and the future of Canucks hockey. Imagine how it would feel being on the team and watching Hank come out to give him the C. Cheesy, but for those guys, it must really been a lot and be a moment they'll never forget. I'm for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't the Montreal Canadians. We don't have the old time folklore or history of those teams. Carolina named a new captain on twitter last week. Get it done.

Announce it today, hold a press conference. Put the C on his jersey for Game 1. Then do the symbolic 'passing of the torch' with Henrik at the home opener. If there are people in the crowd surprised to see Sedins come out with the loudspeaker going "we have a special announcement to make!", gasping when Bo gets handed the captaincy... then those are not real fans. Pageantry is one thing, but I think a press conference is more than enough for a professional sports team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hindustan Smyl Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I think it goes without saying that anyone other than Bo being named captain (outside of Edler and Tanev......which won’t happen) will be a huge slap in the face to Bo and would be an absolutely terrible decision). Bo will be the captain of your Vancouver Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Announcing the captain before the home opener? That’s cutting it pretty tight. Only gives them a little over a week to get Tryamkin signed and back in Vancouver. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo is definitely more seasoned and experienced. I wish him well if he is our Captain! He showed in pre-season why he is a leader and how he can lead by example. I was impressed thoroughly. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
