Captain Talbot. I dig it.

He's the perfect player for it in my opinion. And is a player that is going to be a Flyers for a number of years going forward.

I'd go with Max Talbot. Hartnell isn't really Captain material in my opinion.
- MJL

Hartsy needs to have his happy go lucky going to be successful. When he's happy he gets going and gains confidence and it just grows. I think having the C would inhibit that.

Besides, imagine how some of his antics would go over if he wore the C. Let Hartsy be Hartsy.

And I'm happy without a C right now. The A is heavy enough for G.

I can heartily endorse this sentiment.

Giroux is probably and obvious choice also. But I'd prefer he just concentrate on being the franchise player.

Kimmo would get it. What's honestly taking the Flyers so long to give the Captain to someone?

The fact that its not a big deal that someone doesn't have a letter on their jersey. How do you think Pronger would feel if they did that? Especially if he does come back at some point next season?

Does not need to be addressed presently. Situation can be re-evaluated over the summer.

Maybe the players have seen the loss of their captain as something to rally around or something? It is an opportunity for every player to step up and lead.

Well good luck,, but the Leafs are playing okay offensively but lousy defensively. I think they are poised for a breakout game under the new coach, not sure if its tonight but im 90% certain we will play ourselves out of a good draft pick.

Your 5 points out of 8th with a month to play. If I was your coach I will tell your wussy team to wake the (frank) up.

Is there a player on the team that deserves it more?

5pts,, and we are competing with 4 teams for that last spot, who are all playing better than the leafs.. we are only 2 points up on NYI and CAR and 5 on MTL. so a good draft pick, top 4 is doable.

Interesting...

Why goals are down (hint: it's not rocket science)

I agree abut Hartnell 100%.

Im gonna go out on a limb here and guess hes already tried that. We are a little tougher with rosehill in the lineup, not sure if brown is 100%, but if he is then hartnell better not run around too much
