Glug Datt Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/predicting-matthew-tkachuk-will-next-calgary-flames-captain/ Barf. That is my first response.. admittedly, in part, because we could have had him (although as a rule I don't spend much time wallowing in regret, and had we drafted him our subsequent drafts would have looked different, yada yada yada).. but mostly because I think he's immature and temperamental, and makes bad decisions.. and I kinda wanna punch him in his crap-lousy face.. but.. in my more candid moments, I must admit he is growing as a player and a guy can't argue with his effort & desire to win.. and yes, he would be useful on any team. and I can't think of any better current flamer (after Giordano is gone) to captain that squad.. sigh..

Generational.EP40 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 It’ll either be him or Monahan. ...whenever Giordano hangs em up that is, which won’t be anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'd definitely pick Monahan over Tkachuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glug Datt Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 maybe Monahan? or maybe Hamonic? I'm not sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Wow a lot of people don't really watch Monahan, he's about as captain worthy as goldobin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Nothing better than naming a gutless piece of garbage with serious character issues as captain. Hopefully for our sake, it's true. If you want to get absolutely zero respect from the league, have a complete disgrace to the sport as the face of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Canucks Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Why would they strip Giordano of the C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 It would be fitting for them to name that puke Captain. I understand the 'C' is mostly ceremonial and for the fans and having it isn't necessary for someone to be a leader, but thats exactly why it's so telling who a team chooses to represent them and what kind of qualities they want their captain to embody. There's a reason the Canucks went with Henrik instead of Kesler, though Kesler arguably had more 'desire to win'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason the Canucks went with Henrik instead of Kesler, though Kesler arguably had more 'desire to win'. It's actually fitting for Tkachuk. The "C" though actually doesn't stand for Captain but another word that rhymes with Bunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational.EP40 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 So many softies nowadays lol can’t believe people hate Tkachuk because he gives no f***s and plays the game with 100% effort while making it hard on the opposition. Imagine hating a player for that. Reminds me of Marchand early on but people have come to enjoy him now. Except Marchand early in his career was 100x worse than Tkachuk. Like I said Tkachuk just plays hard and makes it hard for the other team. Marchand was just pure dirty and used to be one of cheapest players out there.

You can even have dirtbags on your team, I don't care. But when you want to name one as your captain, it says a lot about your organization. You probably wanted Kesler as the Captain right, instead of that softy Hank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move aside, Gretzky, Lemieux, etc, The goats are Sean Avery and Matt Cooke. Quote edit: please explain how he’s a dirtbag I've watched him play. He goes over the line at every available opportunity. The kid isn't even 21 and already has had multiple hearings and suspensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Stevens and Eric Lindros must’ve been plugs too I guess. All the tough guys that play the game hard are to you. Especially that dirt bag Ovie amirite?

Hate to burst your bubble but sometimes you need players that can grow a pair and mix things up Otherwise that’s all your left with as much as it hurts me to see that. And again. Marchand was 100x worse when he entered the league then Tkachuk is. Tkachuk isn’t a cheap hit artist or a dirtbag regardless of what you tell yourself.
