idk if they plan on some before the season announcement or something but imo it's time to name the captain now and let him start assuming that role sooner than later. I know the Bruins always start their Captain's practices in early September and that's a team building model Sabres should adopt. 

Maybe the Tuch Dahlin skate is a precursor but I think it's time to make things official. Serious hockey this year. No more country club. 

September, hah! Dahlin was hosting captain's practices in July.

If they want to make a real statement, they should simply have Dahlin (or whoever) lead the team out onto the ice game 1 with the C on his shoulder. Right down to business: “watch the results.” 

What we will get, is a cozy, puff piece Sabres embedded special, we can certainly be sure of that. A vibes-based video on the eve of the season showcasing the big happy family 

Probably. I am hoping for a more down to real business attitude this year but I am prepared to be disappointed.

Those puff pieces are what gets my wife (who did not grow up with hockey) engaged in this team with me. I agree with you that I don’t need it, but after 13 years of futility….those puff personality pieces lead to her watching games with me.  
 

She never saw Hasek in 99 or the President’s trophy team of 06-07. She doesn’t know vintage Rick. Or a freakin playoff game lol

And there’s an entire generation of Buffalonians who also don’t have that connection.  

I’m sure you’ll hit me with your patented red X Disagree emoji and I get it, but that stuff helps me get her to watch games in February with me so I’m here for it.

We need all the new blood that is willing to come aboard.

Your wife probably doesn’t have the pain of the 13 year drought, she probably sees a light at the end of the tunnel.

I heard that there were Bison roaming around in downtown Buffalo, and that they were wearing goat heads.
