All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.
I'd say Campbell gets the C
A's could be any 2 of the following... Gaustad, Lydman, Max, or maybe Vanek
Max needs to show some leadership now that he's one of the most tenured members of the team... and Vanek is perhaps the most talented, but he is still very young yet.
I guess Hecht would probably be considered for an A as well.
On NHL 08, I believe the captain is Teppo, with the A's going to Spacek and Hecht. There's something I'd really not like to see duplicated in reality.
Has there ever been a goalie as the captain? I know it would be strange, but Miller really is the glue for this team, and the true "captain."
More realistically, I agree with most on the Campbell nod, but I don't think Vanek should be considered. He's going to have a lot of pressure on his shoulders as it is this season!
If there's one topic where fans can never give an informed opinion, it's this. Choosing the leader of a team requires being in that locker room and on the ice. Anyone who thinks so-and-so should be (or shouldn't be) the captain is saying he knows that player better than his teammates and coach.
