I have no problem with the All A's system the Pens are going with for now. There's no reason to throw a C on someone just for the sake of having one. Crosby's not ready, Recchi is a definite no if for no other reason than just his problems with future captain Crosby. Not to mention the fact that he's likely to get traded again this season. I would give him one of the A's just based on his experience both in the league and with the team. Sidney of course will get an A. And The last letter I would give to Gonchar.
To respond to manservant's question about multiple captains on one team, I think it can work in the right team environment. Buffalo is one of the best examples of a team that's better than its parts in the last several years, so I think to spread out the leadership among several players can work in a situation like that.
And not that this has anything to do with anything you talked about, I just wanna make it known.... that if Kristopher Letang doesn't make the Pens opening roster, it'll be a crime against the sport of hockey.
Less Eric Cairns waddling around the ice, More "Bang Bang" Letang.
Colby Armstrong for Heisman!
Good show. I am new to the podcast but am a big hockey fan who will not miss an episode.
I need to inform you of the real reason for the recent jersey switch. It all started with the introduction of the alternate uniforms. All the alternates are dark, so if a team wanted to wear them at home, there would be two dark teams. So initially the away team would bring along their whites so that the home team could wear their snazzy new alternates. The alternates became such a hit in the league with the fans, so the permanent switch came to make it easier for everyone.
