Wah wah wah.

Based on your wealth of knowledge from time spent in the locker room, playing, practicing, and traveling with the team? Don't forget, the players vote on captains. If you want to pass judgment on what you see on the ice, fine, but suggesting you know better than the team itself as to who might best fill a role that's largely performed behind closed doors is foolish.

Well I hope McCarron can be an effective captain from the penalty box, because he spends more time there then he does on the ice.

The fact that we are not privy to what happens in the locker room or practice doesn't prevent us from being surprised at the team's decisions in this matter. There's no guarantee that the team will make the "right" choice here even with all the information in hand (where "right" is defined as providing the best leadership for the team both on and off the ice).

That said, I am more than willing to give mcCarron the benefit of the doubt in this role.

FWIW, wouldn't it be true that the the head coach has final say on captains?
