sabre4life Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Regardless of preseason, I still think it's Vanek's team to lead, I think he showed he is ready by wearing the "A" briefly last year... I want a Capt. not triple "A's" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 That was more of a huh as in huh... i wouldn't have thought they would have put the C on him considering he has rumored problems staying focused / going out on the town and partying too much / and the abundance of other players on the team that could potentially fill that role better. I think that was a couple years ago. People do grow up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloSoldier2010 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I think that was a couple years ago.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 First post ... I think there will be a "co-captain" situation for this season ... Gaustad (home games) and Hecht (away games). Myers will move into this rotation in case of injury to either of the "co-captains". Also, a set of four rotating "A" ... Vanek and Myers (home games) and Roy and Pominville (away games). With Regehr being the replacement for any of these. ----- Next season I believe Gaustad will be re-signed / extended, but not Hecht. Therefore, Myers will take the place of Hecht and will be a "co-captain" with Gaustad. Regehr, who also will be extended next summer, will take Myers place in the "A" rotation.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Welcome to the board. Do you live close to Sunnyvale? ----- Thank you ... it's great to finally be here ... been reading posts for months (who finally had Ghost whacked) ... finally registered. As for Sunnyvale ... Google tells me there are a few ... California, Texas, New Zealand are all no. Apparently there is a Sunnyvale Gate in Brampton, Ontario. That is closer ... same country, but about 2,000 KM away. I did grow up in Toronto and have relatives in the Buffalo area. Have loved the Sabres from the beginning. To find me head to Boston on I90 and turn left. Go up the coast through Maine until you come to the Canadian border. From there you just follow the "yellow brick road" through New Brunswick and follow the signs to Halifax. It would be a 25 - 30 hours drive from Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're too new for me to tell whether you're kidding or not; there's a fictional trailer park called "Sunnyvale," set in the Dartmouth area of greater Halifax. It's the setting for Trailer Park Boys, which I think must be the funniest show of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is crazy talk. Hecht may not make it through the season on the roster, he may not make it to the first game if he is having a recurrence of concussion symptoms. . I don't think they will be putting a c on his chest. I also don't think you make a 4th liner your captain, which means goose is out. I could see a rotation, but it's Pominville, Roy and Vanek in the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good first post. At first I thought NFW on the co-captain prediction, but it's actually somewhat plausible, and the guys you named are certainly in the mix for letters. However, while I am a Gaustad fan, that looks like a slug jersey in your avatar. This is a serious problem. Keep posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 All good comments. I really wish we had an inkling of an idea as to what Ruff is thinking for the captaincy. I do suspect though, that Myers will continue to wear the A. imo Ruff don't pick the captain and never has. Team picks the captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 imo Ruff don't pick the captain and never has. Team picks the captain. Of course Ruff has picked the captain in the past.

I think for the most part you're right but I think and I could be wrong the players make the final decision or the captain or true leader grabs the c. On most teams its the players who choose the eventual Captain in a closed door meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On most teams its the players who choose the eventual Captain in a closed door meeting. I'm pretty sure it's happened both ways under Lindy's reign. I seem to recall that the players voted for Rivet. But Lindy most certainly selected the rotating captains. I don't recall how Drury/Briere were selected as co-captains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Eleven, it looks like you are not gonna get your vote. From the Buffalo News today. The Sabres have used four captains in their four games. Jordan Leopold wore the "C" against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, while Paul Gaustad, Roy and Jason Pominville had the honor during the first three outings. The Sabres haven't had a captain since shipping Craig Rivet to Columbus at last season's trade deadline. Ruff has said discussions for a full-time captain are under way. "We've got a bunch of leaders in the dressing room," Roy said. "Nobody's vying for it. Nobody's really trying to get it. Whoever he picks, everyone is going to go with that decision." The bold is mine. It looks like Lindy is picking the captain this year. The 2nd last sentence bothers me a bit. Nobody's vying for it? Are we still a team with noone stepping forward and grabbing the role? Hopefully Roy misspoke but it does raise questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that sentence (not the one about Ruff picking a captain, but the one about no one stepping up and grabbing it) bothered me a LOT. Obviously judging by the number of pages in this thread, and the amount of discussion this subject generated in other threads, there are plenty of folks with opinions about who should be captain. But there is also alot of people who don't see a captain on this team. That noone has stepped up and grabbed the captaincy by sheer will of personality tells me that there still isn't a bonafide captain among our "core", even though they are finally showing evidence of maturity. It also lends credence to those who still feel that the core of this team is without the sort of players that can be expected rise to the occassion in May. Like Korab, I think we still need a stud among our top 6. An Iginla/Guerin type who can raise the level of play and demand respect. And be the leader.

nobody Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Since Lindy is going to pick - I would like to tell him to pick Vanek. While Myers will be the future captain - I still think he needs a few more years. Roy would be OK but I still picture him skating over to the refs and joking about jock straps or something rather then talking about the call on the ice.

Eleven Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 If Lindy's going to pick, I want Regehr. Vanek hasn't stepped up to grab it, at least according to Roy, and unlike Vanek and some other guys, Regehr will be at the right point to step aside when it is Myers's time. EDIT: But what I see is a situation where they have rotating captains at least through December. I don't like rotating captains at all, but if there's not a strong enough personality to take the job at this point, well, it beats naming one and then stripping the letter from him when he can't do the job.

LGR4GM Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 after watching the preseason and thinking more on the subject, Pommers C with Vanek as C/A and then A's go to whoever... I am not going to guess on that. But hey I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
