Ty Anderson: Bruins officially name new captain

I personally thought they would select McAvoy. That being said, bring on the era of Captain Marchy.


Bring on the hate.

It should be Marchand for the next few years. He has been a leader in that locker room for a long time now. Mcavoy will get it next.

Agreed on McAvoy. He'd be my first choice.

"Should be" is debatable, but I get it. He has been with the club for a long time and paid his due. Going to be happy for him regardless.

I would have gone with McAvoy, personally.

Agreed.

What I am shocked about is the lack of trolling in this particular thread.
I mean, Brad MARCHAND is now a Captain!

He'll be next. Marchand in the locker room is loved by teammates and emerged as a leader. What other fans, media, annd haters think of him is irrelevant.

Someone could probably make an argument about the optics of it based on Marchand's disciplinary history. He wasn't my first pick, but hey, lets see what he can do.

This from the same group that a year ago believed signing Mitchell Miller despite his history was a good decision

I love commentary from posters that are too cowardly to display their own team.

Or too dumb to figure out how to do that...

Slow clap.

I know, its great. Online heroes for the win.

I wonder where that LFS dude went. Glove might be getting worried.

This is a very deep thought. You could be the new Jack Handy.

I'm sure he is probably molting. A toxic waste dump has to shed their skin every so often, so I've read.

I just figured his name was short for "looking for shower"

Well, I've been using a certain "C" word to refer to Marchand for years, so it's only fitting he wears it on his sweater.

Agreed.

I debated it, then figured (frank) it. Captain Rat makes sense.
