alhab Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Stanley Cup Won Captain From ? 1992-93 Guy Carbonneau Quebec Canada 1985-86 Bob Gainey Ontario Canada 1978-79 Yvan Cournoyer Quebec Canada 1977-78 Yvan Cournoyer “ “ 1976-77 Yvan Cournoyer “ “ 1975-76 Yvan Cournoyer “ “ 1972-73 Henri Richard Quebec Canada 1970-71 Jean Beliveau Quebec Canada 1968-69 Jean Beliveau “ “ 1967-68 Jean Beliveau “ “ 1965-66 Jean Beliveau “ “ 1964-65 Jean Beliveau “ “ 1959-60 Maurice Richard Quebec Canada 1958-59 Maurice Richard “ “ 1957-58 Maurice Richard “ “ 1956-57 Maurice Richard “ “ 1955-56 Emile Bouchard Quebec Canada 1952-53 Emile Bouchard “ “ Basically, if we want another cup, give Lapierre the C, he has what it takes, regardless of youth and his ability to get under other players skin's, he has the drive and passion, and most importantly hails from 'la belle province' ! From what I heard, the habs old practice was to vote for their cap, and from what I've heard ( as the other posters have mentioned ) Gomez is taking french lessons. Looks like our boyz already voted for their leader, all good, Gomez, I have a feeling you have some Quebecois blood in ya somewhere, if you don't gimme a shout I'll loan ya some ! Go habs !! With Gomez or Lapierre, this year's gonna be solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanatikal Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Markov should be captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willypoll Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 The Canadiens have only two leaders that should be considered for captian right now, Markov and Lapierre. These guys know what the expectations are for this team from management and most importantly from the fans. These guys also did their time in a habs uniform and are great leaders, all of the newcomers shouldnt even be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooch-a-mania Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Markov may be a good candidate.. but somehow Lappy stands out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cenner_Hice Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I think the original question was "Who will emerge as the new leaders on this team?" All those mentioned frequently above will become the new leaders, won't they? After all, the only one left of last season's As and our Captain, is Markov. So someone has to step up. Obviously we can't second guess the team's decision, but we can speculate (and have been) who will be the new C. My money (for waht it's worth, being foreign) is on Gomez. But whoever it is in the C, they have some very very big boots to fill, in my humble opinion and they won't last as long as our previous Captain or have as much love directed at them. 10 years is a long time and I don't see anyone on the roster that I feel can fill Saku's place in our hearts.

swimmerpuck Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Is This a Sign New Leaders are Emerging? I'd say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willypoll Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 whats up with all these Gomez fans willing to hand over the "C" to him!!!!!!! The guy didnt do anything since he got his big fat contract and he really wasn't a leader before that. the guy better put up at least 4 or 5 100+ point seasons and play with heart ,and hurt to do everything for this team before he would get anywhere near that "C". the guy better worry about winning games and not his next million dollar paycheck.

Whoa! I sense some animosity there. I think most Habs fans are willing to sit back and see if the team wins or not before villifying Gomez. With that said, most seem disappointed with his salary, but what can we do? Gainey made the decision, and at the end of the day we all have to hope it works out. If he emerges as a leader, then so be it. If not, I'm sure someone else will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiiiRTY-Russell Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 im gonna put my money on 3 guys to battle for that #1 spot in points. id say the re-warmed romance of Brian Gionta and Scott Gomez will get both of them tons of points. id also say that Markov will be up there as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
