Blues to Name Captain Tomorrow
1Seems worthy of it's own thread. Assume it's gotta be Schenn.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

5WAIT! HOW COULD WE ALL FORGET?! We have a Cap'n - he could be THEIR Cap'n, too! He's got his own skates & everything.

8It should be Thomas but think it's going to be Schenn.

Re: Blues to Name Captain Tomorrow
9I would rather see Schenn over Thomas if it was a choice between only those two.
Re: Blues to Name Captain Tomorrow
11Well Schenn is at the table, I wonder who get's the C.

Re: Blues to Name Captain Tomorrow
15Schenn just shouted out Scott Hartnell among previous teammates he learned from along the way. That early 2010s Flyers team was one of my absolute favorite non Blues teams from any era, and Hartnell was a huge part. Hartnell was a bigger personality than Schenn, but you don't have to look too hard to see the overlap in their games.

It seems a bit tone deaf to not give a nod to your best player after the last two seasons.

21All those players have at least one A in their name. Buch didn't have a chance. 2 Cs though, so this theory might not be airtightBluesSK wrote: Tue Sep 19, 2023 12:27 pmMust be.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Tue Sep 19, 2023 12:19 pmI guess Parayko will be a do as I say not as I do kind of leader.

22Buch has the same problem as Vova had… NHL doesn’t have a капитан designation.

23Seems so. Ovechkin was the last Russian NHL captain. Apparently there have only been six.Turk Sanderson wrote: Tue Sep 19, 2023 2:21 pm Buch has the same problem as Vova had… NHL doesn’t have a капитан designation.
I really think Tarasenko should have been given that chance.

24When 55 first showed up and played like an animal, I was sure he was the second coming of 44. Not so much. He is IMHO a serviceable minute eater who with the right tutorial would have been our C. Now I see a d man that you can have for 2 mill on any team in the league. Sucks when your too nice.
Re: Blues to Name Captain Tomorrow
25Parayko is still a really fast skater... has great reach... and is okay on the transition. He is more of a Jay Boumeister type player... which makes sense. The upside... considering how bad he was last year... anything will be an improvement.BlueinNy wrote: Tue Sep 19, 2023 3:53 pm When 55 first showed up and played like an animal, I was sure he was the second coming of 44.
