Rivet wouldn't comment on whether or not he would remain the Captain of this club.

As a side note, I can't believe these journalists have the balls to ask those kinds of questions. In my opinion, that's really pushing boundaries.

I don't know if I agree PSP. I mean yup it takes huge balls but all of us invest a lot into this team fionancially and emotionally so I think the fans have the right to know the answers to questions like that. I mean at the end of the day he's still a millionaire.

I like Craig Rivet, even though he hasn't been good, and I fully support his benching.

Maybe a millionaire, but also still a person. Sometimes we forget that.

I see a man who thought he was giving it all he had, and got told by his coach that his best isn't good enough. I see a man who is staring the end of his career straight in the face.

He deserves a lot of credit for still coming out and talking to the media even though he's going through this.

Yeah, that's gotta be a tough thing to hear.

Make it Myers, it's worked for Pittsburgh and Chicago to have the young guy as the captain.

I really feel for Rivet. This has to suck. But it's time for a change in Buffalo. A new Captain would be a breath of fresh air, I believe.

Ok seriously, Roy or Vanek, that's my two nominations then.

Well you could always throw in Goose, I say give it to Goose then, we see how he puts his heart on the ice all the time.

Koziol said Rivet told Paul Hamilton on WGR's pregame show he is definitely still the captain of the Buffalo Sabres

Kozial's pregame was nothing more than the audio from the video shown above. Rivet said he could not comment.

Then Koziol is a bold faced lying sack of shit.

By the way, as is obvious, there really isn't a balls-to-the-walls captain on this roster. Closest thing right now IS Roy, however--and this may sound odd--he's too nice.

P.S> I feel bad for Rivet. Tough reality in sports.

Wanna read another tough reality, check out the Bucky Gleason piece on Jay Mckee in the news.

I've heard all kinds of idiotic shit including he'll have to 'resign' as Captain. As I recall, you are given THE JOB MEANING THAT YOU CAN'T QUIT IT. He wasn't elected. Just goes to show that listening to people can be dumb.

Huh? Why wouldn't he be able to resign? If he's feeling like he isn't doing an inadequate job being the leader of the team, then why couldn't he hand the C over to another player that he feels is more deserving of it...
