Well that seemed to be the overall sentiment we had here. Each is good in their own way. Otter is a good presence to have in hostile territory.


That first time boston/Toronto takes a run at one of our youngsters on their home ice you want a guy who will step in and snap some necks so hard it may lead to a lack of cashing checks

First, its good to see that Rolo has the same thoughts as the fans. I honestly feel that it is one of the stupidest things I've heard of. A road captain and a home captain..... Almost as dumb as the rotation Lindy had a few years ago. To me, this looks like a feeble attempt to win Vanek over so he signs an extention or Rolo has an issue with making decisions.

What others think of this genius decision.....

Seems like a pretty wishy-washy decision to me. Shit or get off the pot already.

i think naming a captain is purely cosmetic. a real captain will be be a voice and influence within the locker room with or without a cute letter sewed to his jersey.

There has to be several leaders in the locker room for a team to be successful.

I think it should be mentioned that this sort of smells like a way to cover their asses if and when Vanek is traded.

Would you cynics stop bitching? It looks like the majority of us got what we wanted.

Not trying to be a cynic, I just think its a strategic move by management to give a C to Vanek IMO

I kind of dig the explanation by Rolston - if you were able to smash those two together and form one player, they'd be the captain the team needs.

I don't think TV cares about a letter on his jersey.

I think he definitely cares, but I also think his quote about it is the most telling. "It's not about the letter on the jersey, it's about the team." That's such a captain quote.

Then again, this simply gets Vanek primed to take over as fulltime captain when Ott leaves/gets traded

I don't see Ott getting traded or leaving. He is the exact kind of player these young guys need to look up to. He works hard and plays with raw emotion.

If he had the skills of a better player he'd well, be an OV kind of player. Playing with that much passion.
