Who should be Captain??
- Fruitcakenipple

JAY MCCLEMENT

JAY MCCLEMENT
- CarlitoBrigante

Oh...

JAY MCCLEMENT
- CarlitoBrigante

If he can stay healthy, Lupul.


So.... not Lupul

It seems like the guys have started to tune him out... if that's truly the case, its time for a change of some kind.
- lumlums

Not defending Randy here.......... what I am defending is coach's in general.

I have a serious problem with prima donna millionaire hockey players "tuning out" their coach.

Seriously, if I was the GM I would trade every (frank)en player that had that attitude. They are getting paid millions of dollars to play a (frank)en hockey game. If you can't give it your 100% effort all the time, then get rid of them and replace them with players who are committed.

IDK... seems quick to act like that.
Fire him for not being able to use a toaster perhaps!

I remember some suggesting Clarkson should become captain.

I laughed.

Then again, it was before the season started.

Yeah, he forgets that back in 1981 most of these guys were a few rub-outs away from being ready for selection camp...

Bump... one of my wittiest comments of all time and not a single reply... for shame

If he resigns, I can endorse this. Lupul second choice.

If he can stay healthy, Lupul.

- lumlums

Was gonna say Lupul, but he might be out half the year...

Right now we need a captain who brings a good work ethic every night and is a veteran..... i.e. MCCLEMENT

AND A GUY WHO THE TEAM "RESPECTS"

i dont think the players give a (frank) about Phaneuf

JVR one day maybe?

First you have to change the personnel a little bit, get a couple of guys who are more likely to play the coach's way... if that fails, then you consider the coaching change.

He would be your Andrew Ference.

Throw Bolland in the mix if he resigns.

It was awesome the 1st 10 games of the season

McClement is a prime example of a player u sell high come trade deadline...There marlies who can take his spot next year and save ya coin..

I really like JvR... I don't know whether he's captain material though... He seems more of a follower than a leader, though he is still pretty young and has yet to be given the chance to lead...

...so....tanknation is back?

By personnel change I assume you mean a less complicated toaster? JK

- LeafMan

Yup.

Sign Girardi and then make him captain. That would send a big message that guys weren't getting it done.

I would keep him, you need a player with character and work ethic.

No offense.. but McClement is probably one of the most difficult guys to replace on the roster.

he does a no fanfare job extremely well.

not his fault the rest of his linemates are usually plugs
