honestly i think going from Chara to Bergeron was probably the easiest captaincy choice of all time
Yzerman to Lidstrom may have been a bigger no brainer
@@eeegonEspecially because Lidstrom helped lead the Wings to back to back cupnfinals, winning one as Captain. Bergeron helped get them there but never won as the Captain.
@@chrishaughton1747 to be fair, he didn't have that many tries
@@eeegonI came here to say this 😂
Idk luongo was a easy choice for the nucks
As a leafs fan as much heartache and pain Bergeron has caused me, he was an amazing player and an even better person, therefore I wish him the best in retirement, and seeing Marshy with the C would be pretty funny
lol ya
Absolutely.
gross
@@jakubjohnson6741like your hairline
It'll be even funnier when they sign Matthews next summer with their new found cap room
You give Marchand the C for the same reason they gave O'Riley the C back in the day. Because embodys the quintessential of what it means to be a Bruin.
Marchand has earned it and totally should be the captain
How did he earn it? He licked enough men?
100% No way people are making fun of Marchand for being captain just because he is a jerk on the ice. He is a great leader
hell no. he doesnt act like a captain on the ice. end of story.
@@husg13 I think he does, sticks up for his teammates, is really vocal, great skill
Captain material right there
Wtf sped 😮😮🎉
Lmao would love to see Marchand as C of Bruins
I'm pretty sure its gonna be mitchell miller.
This is coming from a die hard Stars fan, but I would love to see Marchand become captain. If Jamie Benn can survive 10 plus years as captain with some of the antics he's pulled, then Marchand would do just fine.
His conduct and play alone in the Playoffs was admirable. He has earned this no matter how brief it will end up being. This coming from a Panthers fan.
I think Brad is getting the C. I've been a Bruins fan my whole life and they've usually picked older experienced leaders for the Captain role. Brad is going to get that C. One day it could be Pasta or MacAvoy, but they still look up to Brad. He showed it during the playoffs this year. I could feel he was the leader they needed in Patrice's absence. When the series was over, my hair stood up on my neck because something was going on after the game ended. You could see Bergeron and Krejci having a moment with themselves and then Marchand came over. It felt like it was changing of the guard and he was taking the role right there, like they may have already had spoken about it before. Now I'm sure we'll see it. I think Krejci is retiring, too. I have that feeling. Bergeron's 37 will definitely hang in the rafters up there. Maybe one day Marchand and Krejci's will be up there, too. We'll see.
A reporter posted a photo of Brad Marchand wearing the C on his jersey in practice last week. It was legitimate
But I agree with you on how Bruins pick their captains, no disrespect to Nick Suzuki on Montreal canadiens, but that's ridiculous naming a toddler a captain
they have been cleaning up Brad's image the past five years... But the real telltale, first four games of the playoffs Brad Marchand and his grit led us to win three out of four games. When Patrice returned? We lost two out of three.
Matthew Tkachuck was having a field day-we had no grit, no response... We were trying to play Patrice bergeron's older gentleman's game.
Bring on lucic!
Actually, David krejci said he wanted to win a championship with pasta-he loves playing with Pasta
But you might remember from that 2011 core, Milan Lucic was much closer to David krejci than the other two.
The core of 2011 was looch and krejci as the top point earners during the season, ference, Thornton, Adam McQuaide,(who's Bruins player development coordinator) you can throw in a few more names...
So a lucic- krejci connection to me, is closer to the 2011 core.
Those guys do blind passes-
can David krejci resist the opportunity of playing with his past Stanley cup buddy with the future of the Bruins David pastrnak?
Lightning in a bottle is only caught once...
He can always play in Czechoslovakia next year!
Was wearing my # 46 shirt today... I think he's coming back. All this talk about needing to bring in another center? I think we already have one.
Much respect to Bergeron. Never been a B's fan but fell in love with Bergs style of play over the years, and also Marchand when they played with my fav player, #87 in the worlds. I would do anything to see that line again. Happy retirement Bergs!
That line was lethal! I always hoped that Crosby would somehow end up in Boston eventually to see that line together for a season.
In my mind Marchand is the only guy on that team who could be captain in the current moment.
I think that Brad Marchand will get to C because you need to have a vet that has seen some stuff like pasta or macavoy are good but they are not as experienced as marchand but I think that is one of those 3 or maybe just maybe they will give to krejci 🤔🤔
Krejci would deserve it for sure, with all that he has done for this team. But I think he would refuse this honor, being the humble player that he is. And I agree with you concerning McAvoy and Pastrnak. They are very good players, but still lack the experience, especially McAvoy who didn't do very well in the playoffs last year.
It's going go Marchand. That's how Bergy would like it. He already has been Bergys locker room sidekick for years
@scottstenlund4431 I respectfully disagree. But I wouldn't mind Pasta getting it either. I've just seen how Marchand is always first to the podium to speak to the prospects and leads a majority of team meetings, following Bergy of course. Seeing how past and present coaches have always given Brad the green light on his actions...I just see it as his regardless of term involved. But as I said I also wouldn't mind it going to Pasta or McAvoy either. Regardless its a bummer it isn't Bergy
@@Fran-td7xv latterly summed that up perfectly
@@ericcouture96 100%
“He’s regressing” idk man this dude just continues to perform, love him or hate him it’s true.
i know right hes getting better with age lol
He could’ve gotten back to near 100 points two years ago but he took that massive suspension early on in the season. He’s aging like fine wine and I love it
That's not his opinion he's saying that some people would say that.
@@whitepaws60 I know I’m referring to anyone that would say that, it’s not to him. Could’ve added more context ig my b
@@hc_gabe4078 No problem the wording was just a little weird
I'm a Leafs' fan, but Marchand gives his all for the Bruins, even in the great choke he wasn't the guy giving the puck away a lot, he was constantly playing hard. That's captaincy material, like Bergeron, he's given everything for the Bruins and that deserves to be rewarded with the C, even if it may be a short tenure.
I could see Marchand with the 'C', and maybe McAvoy and Pasta with the A's
Marchand would be a great captain
I think Marchand would be a good bridge captain. He's definitely shown a bit more maturity over the last few years, and those games without Bergeron this year really looked like he was auditioning for the job. Pretty sure players have a say on this so it will be interesting to see what happens.
Marchand for sure next captain.
Marchand has matured a lot in the past five years or so and his antiques are a thing of the past. He deserves the C for sure. And I remember a few years ago, the Bruins got steamrolled by the Caps on opening night. Lars Eller ill-advisedly made fun of the Bruins bench and got his ass kicked on the next shift by Marchand. I think #63 showed a lot of leadership that night.
I remember that, fed him good too! Marchy is the man
I guess you could say his antics are antiques 😎
@@Proxyy7 😄😄😄
As a leafs fan I wanna see Marchand with the C. Honestly he deserves it
marchy bergy toewser and sid are the most heartwarming players with fans #giveittobrad
I think it would be hilarious if they gave Marchand the C to piss off the entire league but you can’t forget that Pasta is another really good candidate for captaincy too
Marchand came up from the 4th line, pulled his weight and then some. He has fought through some serious trenches. Has totally changed himself to fit the role he is in. He's earned it.
Love him, or hate him. Marchand is the obvious choice at this very point.
Respect to Bergeron, really good player and I hope his number gets retired and goes to the HHOF ( I know both of those things are a guarantee but just gotta say it). Marchand is the next captain he's been in the B's organisation for so long and has given so much to the franchise that to me there's no question that he's the Captain or not.
Being a captain isn’t all necessarily about skill. It’s about what you bring to the locker room as a leader. I can totally see him being the captain.
Marchand is a leader in the locker room. I think he should be.The heck with what everybody else they thinks.
Anybody who has an opinion that's worth anything thinks he belongs team captain... Every franchise wants him, they don't want to play against him
Welcome in every locker room in every franchise
PK suban can't say that
😅
I'd give the C to Pasta or McAvoy, but Captain Rat would be hilarious.
As a Bruins fan, Marchy with the C would be hilarious and a wonderful shit-stirring move. That said, there are a few actual reasons. Like you touched on, he does a lot of community stuff. Marchand is such a massive troll on the ice that a lot of people don't realize he's such a stand-up dude when he's out and about. Another thing that you didn't mention -- as someone who sees his games more frequently, there have been multiple times over recent seasons I've seen him actually de-escalating situations by pulling Bruins players out of scrums. After all, why retaliate and take matching penalties when you can send just one of their guys instead? The guy has a fantastic knowledge of where the line is (even if that knowledge is usually abused to rile up opponents, lol)
I'm a lifelong leafs fan but I still love Bergeron
I know Habs fans who feel the same way.
I have my doubts about the B's choosing another captain right away, if they do i would imagine its either Marchand or McAvoy
I don't care how much time he has left. He does whatever is necessary and leads the team well. He wasn't the right guy before, but the right choice now.
I actually think they should give it to Marchand
Marchand should be the next captain. He plays the last 2 years of his contract, wins one more cup (fight me), then retires. Then give it to Pasta :)
Despite having been a lifelong Leafs fan, I greatly appreciate Marchy.
Remember when Keith Magnuson became captain of the Black Hawks? I remember
marchand is easily the next leader, no way they don't choose marchand
Absolutely should go to Marchand. He is a leader both on and off the ice. The other players absolutely respect him. The only other option I would understand is McAvoy as he will be there for a long time and is a leader as well and it may smarten him up a bit as he takes a few bad penalties here and there.
Marchy has earned it
Bro Idk Why but i feel like Pastrnak and McAvoy both look better with a A on there jersey
In a way Marchand would be a even more fitting captain for the Bruins 😁
I think a cool, respectful thing to do would be to ask Bergeron who he would like to replace him as captain.
I would go McAvoy. Bruins teams are built from the back to the forwards. From Eddie Shore to Bobby Orr to Raymond Bourque to Zdeno Chara to Charlie McAvoy. I would say he is the heir apparent.
Hate the Bruins, can’t stand Marchand as a player.
You’re absolutely right, he should be the captain.
Would love to see it. The Rat is the type of player you want on your team.
Now just waiting for the Tarasenko video
If Brad is captain he will become probably the most hated from other team since I think Dale hunter in the 1990s 😂
He's that now. lol.
Keep living in the past
Brad Marchand is not hated by other teams or players-they have voted him the most impactful player in the NHL for many years.
They don't want to play against him. But they all want him on their teams! He's welcome in their locker rooms.
he gets clicks for reporters and ESPN wannabe jocks to get fairweather fans and internet trolls, who have never played hockey, all hot and bothered 🙄
All you have to do is put his name in a story and people will read.
But he's done a lot off ice to stand up for players that people just don't know cuz the media is not going to tell you.
He stands up for a lot of people. And takes a stand against nasty Canadian fans. Answer the reporter's question about it one time, the next day he woke up to a suspension based on appearance of a slew foot that happened six years prior 🤔
Took on the NHL when they forbade NHL players to participate in the Olympics. I don't think common fans understand what that means for North American players. It's their only opportunity to get international and European training. Without it, it limits their careers.
Olympics was absolutely necessary for Jeremy swayman to get that training in a USA college goalie under 6 ft 3in? He's going to go nowhere until he gets that training
And Brad Marchand spoke up for young players like him-the next morning we woke up to him being suspended?
He's actually not the player with the most penalty minutes, fines nor suspensions. But he's the one that gets the most media attention and makes the most profit for the NHL when he does get suspended.
he's not a stupid jock, he can use intellectual arguments in the NHL does anything they can to shut him up.
George parros, head of player safety on the other hand, is a stupid jock. He was known as an enforcer, hi penalty minutes, and ended his career by falling down before a fight even started!? He gave himself a concussion when nobody touched him! He's head of player safety! 🙄
Reporters have to do something to earn their Hot pockets when there's no sports news
So they write let's hate Brad Marchand stories!
And I make it a point not to click on them
As an outsider looking in…Marchand is the leader of the Bruins
Marchy is the most underrated player in the league. He is the heart and soul of the Boston Bruins and it’s a disgrace that players like McAvoy make more money than him. He plays for the love of the game!
Actually Brad Marchand set his salary cap, took a long term loyalty contract cuz he wants to be a career Bruin.
But the reason why he earns that? he said he would never take more than Patrice Bergeron. His choice.
Marchand is absolutely not the most underrated player in the NHL, only by Fairweather wannabe fans. Other coaches and players have said they'd love him on their teams-they just don't want to play against him!
he's been voted the most impactful player for many years by reporters, coaches and other players.
You might notice during slow News times, the for-profit media puts out clickbait stories. They love hating Brad Marchand-it makes their hot pocket money for the week.
But there's something else that he does that most others don't realize, I don't have Twitter but I've caught on to this the last couple of years.. been able to see his posts
Off-ice, he takes on the NHL... Challenges nasty Canadian fans. After Milan Lucic went home to Vancouver, after the 2011 defeat-the fans were so nasty to he and his family he had to move. And when you interview him in Toronto? He loves talking about silencing the fans!
But he does piss off the NHL gods -
Brad was very upset that the NHL forbade players to from participating in the olympics-because that's often the only international or european experience North American players get. Without it, it thwarts their careers.
Jonathan Quick got his first Stanley cup just a few months after he trained and played in the Olympics Ivan that was not a coincidence
Jeremy swayman got screwed-that was his only opportunity to get international training. USA born collegiate goalies don't go far without that training
And that's also why the NHL & media go after Marchand. They're carrying out Bettman's agenda
Both times he answered questions from a reporter on Canadian fans, and when he spoke up for athletes wanting to go to the olympics-
the next morning we woke up to his suspension and fine.
Because of what he says off ice. If you actually read the player safety reports? The last few have been based on reputation only. They changed at ripping to a slew foot after the press conference regarding the Canadian fans, and according to the report it was based on his reputation in 2015. Not an actual infraction. It could have appeared he was slew-footing as he did in 2015, but it did not.
I'm a fan, not a fool.
Funny thing is, he's not nearly the most penalized or suspended player-only when it happens to him it makes clickbait reporters happy cuz they get attention. Click$
He sort of like the Donald Trump of hockey... Any stories going to get attention
(I don't do politics)
But yeah-he's a stand-up guy. Refuses to take more salary than Patrice Bergeron as he stated, so he doesn't" bleed his lines dry"
I pick 63. He's the face of the Bruins right now. When he retires, give it to pasta!
Marchand is the guy. He's the leader. Next question..
I have to agree that Marchand should be the next Bruins captain.
Considering his leadership in the first 4 games of the playoffs, Marchand makes perfect sense. If you remember, going into game five, the Bruins were up 3 to 1. He did an excellent job leading the team.
Yes-we haven't been able to say that until now. I've been gently saying this and you can't say anything for another player because it sounds like it's against Patrice Bergeron...
Yes, Matthew tkachuk took advantage of the fact that we had an older veteran captaining the team again. He had a field day while we tried playing gentleman hockey 🙄
@@TheFoolintherainn Post-playoffs, we learned that not only Bergeron was injured but also Ullmark, Pasta, and Lindholm. It's not on Bergeron. It's sheer bad luck. So many key players injured are just going to hurt your team. He was a good captain, just his team was hurting
@@differnet I understand that. You're absolutely correct..He WAS a good Captain. Something evidently changed, look at his decision.
And I wonder about those last five weekends of back-to-back games
Play a game Saturday, Hop on an airplane after the game, play another game in less than 24 hours, hop on an airplane again... then repeat four more times.. then begin playoffs?
I keep saying I hope mr. Jacobs himself picked up the phone and gave the NHL an earful on that schedule!
That's a perfect storm for stress injuries
But I do think Patrice leads a different style game.
We saw shift from game 4 to game 5 when Patrice came back. It went beyond injury, the locker room became out of control. I also put that in manti, suddenly changing up lines like that tells his players he doesn't believe in them as they stand.
Furthermore,Monty told the players not to fight back to risk having to kill a penalty. Matthew Tkachuk had a field day like we had not seen.
There were a lot of things that went on-but the team lost focus under bergeron's captaincy
I wonder, perhaps the team plays harder when Bergeron is absent, and then when he returns they sort of take their foot off the pedal?
Bergeron was out for a couple of weeks prior, Brad Marchand did great leading the team.
Butch Cassidy lost the locker room
Perhaps Patrice Bergeron did also. For whatever reason, he's talked about the fact that getting prepared for games has become such a chore, he can't just throw on the skates and go anymore. Did that hit during playoffs?
Ultimately, I think he does put responsibility on himself, it's not really my opinion - he hung up his skates.
That pretty much says it all.
@@TheFoolintherainn Okay, I see your point. I still think injuries had more to do with the losses, but I definitely think changing the lines was a mistake.
I'm not a Bruins fan but personally I think he's the best person for the C.
Marchand is War Chief. Ya dig?
Marchand is still a great player. Last year he came off double hip surgery. I don't think he was comfortable most of the season. I expect to see a better player this year. He'll miss 37 though.
give the C to lucic
BM 63 BE A GREAT CAPTINE
You are correct. We Love Marchy here and hockey is really the only sport anyone I know here in MA cares about. I wouldn't be Mad if he got the C but I doubt they will give it to him,.
Of course Brad marchand's going to be Captain.
Who else? This is hockey, not broomball.
Don Sweeney doesn't give a crap what everybody thinks!
He's a hockey player!
knows how to get bashed into the boards and get right back up at!
Love em!
Of course Brad's going to be captain? They only do the woke stuff for the media and masshole liberals.
Behind-closed-doors?
It's still hockey!
100 percent the next capt.
Should be bm63
63 gets the C
Marchy is getting the C. No questions asked
Absolutely agree
Might have to talk to Patrick Kane AND Vlad Tarasenko.
Brad earned the shot of captaincy ! Love him or not he's the go to guy now !
Not sure if funny is the right word here. Marchy was a third round pick that wasn’t even expected to make the NHL but with hard work and determination he became arguably the best winger in the league and one of the best to ever put on a Bruins sweater. You think that it’s the “funniest thing ever” because of the player he used to be. Drawing penalties and agitating the other team is what he is famous for but over the last 5 years or so he’s turned into so much more than that. Playing with Chara and Bergy for so long has really rubbed off on him and now that those two are gone there is nobody in the room that understands the previous captains ideas and values more than Marchy. Laugh all you want but he’s more deserving of the C than a lot of other captains in the league
Yep #63 should be the next captain for 2 or more years.
Gotta be Marchand or McAvoy, I love Pasta but I just don’t think he’s got “the right stuff” needed to be a good captain.
McAvoy should wear the “C”
Marchand WAS too immature. He has grown out of his antics. He still plays with an edge, but I think he has shown the maturity needed to be Captain.
He'll yea go brad
To me, the only downside to Marchand signing with Boston and finishing his career there would be that he'd be missing out on the "Perry tour"- where so many people have said, "You'd like him if he was on your team." - well everyone outside of Anaheim hated Perry until recently and he's been an asset and well liked wherever he's gone- I believe Brad would get the same treatment- though it probably isn't worth as much as playing your career with one team as that's become so rare, and he's sooooo beloved there.
After the prank the Bruins played on Marchy the other year, he probably wouldn't believe them even if they did give him the C. Still, I'd love it if they did. He's the guy I love to hate the most in the league, and seeing the Rat with a C would be awesome.
Marchy with the C would be worth it just to troll everyone. However, I think they're going to give it to McAvoy
We already saw Brad wearing the C on his jersey last week in practice.
These titles
Bergeron did not play most of the year, the Bruins will be the same next year.
I don’t care if I don’t like him Marchand should be captain
As much as it pains me to say it your 100% right #63 C
GIVE IT TO LUCIC
Pasta would be a good pick, but my money is on McAvoy
It's been rumored that he's already had pictures taken with the C
Yes. A Reporter posted a photo on Twitter at practice last week. Brad Marchand was wearing the captain C on his jersey. They joked about it in the past, I waited to see if it was a joke-but apparently Patrice Bergeron announced his intentions the next day on the 19th-although they didn't tell us till the 24th
They had to either denounce that photo, call it a joke or clarify the situation.
It wasn't a joke, and another comment on here said they announced Brad Marchand the captain on Friday 28th
I get confused cuz I'm in Alaska. So if you're on the East Coast, I'm your yesterday and you're my tomorrow.
But they got it out into the news feed on Friday so it would be the weekend sports headlines
Next, David krejci will come to his senses, finally accept the fact that he cannot resist playing with both pasta and his true 2011 core buddy, Milan Lucic. Those two are much closer than krejci with others, they were tied for the most points that season leading the team. Those were our blind passes, between those two.
He can't resist... He'll be back.
He's just got to figure out whether he needs to give his wife another house or another baby to get another year of hockey!
lol!
Marchand and then McAvoy when brad retires
Charlie Mac all day
Marchand shouldn't really be a captain but he kinda earned it sadly
63 all the way!
Marchand’s character on ice prevents him from being captain. His antics prevent him from scoring even more points than he already has.
Oh please. Snowflake
Well why don't you read those player safety reports first, and then you can fast forward another 5 or 7 years in your hockey viewing life and then you might figure out who Brad Marchand is. Do you know that he speaks up four other players against the NHL?
No-you don't.
You just continue to believe the clickbait
Every other franchise wants him in their locker room. He's been voted the most impactful player in the NHL for years... Other players love him, they hate playing against him
But they don't hate him
Hockey players have a sense of humor, unlike fair-weather fan internet trolls. You don't know what he's been doing cuz you just keep following for the reporter clickbaits. When they got nothing better to do, no Hot pockets in their freezer? They write a story about hating Brad Marchand and lookie! Their freezers full of Hot pockets again
🙄
Cuz you clicked and you keep spreading this garbage from years ago.
Not every hockey player was brought up with a silver stick in their mouth and a social worker mother living in Quebec... Like Patrice Bergeron.
63 should be the C
The next captain is Marchand. He's the heart and soul of the team now. When Marchand retires the 'C' will go to McAvoy.
Marchand
First round legend Zach Senyysysyshyn gonna get that C
Definitely Marchand for next Boston captain
Marchand has almost put people out of the league making him the captain is not the best idea and I doubt he would be the greatest leader
Marchand began as a pest, but as the core of 2011 has diminished he's gotten mature.
Next Captain is Pasta, hands down.
They should give it to Bergeron’s best friend.
Even if he does only play for two more years, give him the big C and then pasta or McAvoy can wear it when he retires.
He just had hip surgery-how is it people have him gone in two years? They didn't give contracts after 35 years old because the rules change.
Now players like pasta are smart enough to get their contracts through 36 years old to protect themselves
He's not retiring in two years, unless his hips give out
2:02 - Here's the thing, maybe a couple years ago, I'd have agreed that March is too immature to wear a C with respect... But he's been FAR less of a rat in the last couple years as he's gotten older... I really think he could wear it with respect from his peers around the league now, and be the official face now.
Some will always say he's a rat for life, but actions speak louder then words, and lately, I've seen more positive actions from March, and I'm a Jets fan who doesn't follow the Bruins in particular any more then any other team. Just my two cents
It's wannabe clickbait reporters that keep putting that out there. They make money off of his name...
In the NHL rights up player safety reports, why don't you actually read one. His last two suspensions were based on reputation, from six years prior
And no suspensions happened to come after press conferences where he says things that the NHL doesn't like.
Like calling them out on forbidding NHL players from participating in the olympics-that screws with their careers. That's international and European training that players count on.
Add Brad Marchand spoke out against it, and the next morning he was miraculously suspended!
Taylor Hall...
Marchand for sure
Pasta or Mcvoy is going to get the C Marchant will only be their for a year or 2 at most
He's already been seen wearing the C on his jersey at practice last week.
He's already the captain. When Patrice Bergeron was out, he led the Bruins to win three out of four playoff games. Patrice returns? Bruins lose two out of three...
The goal of the sport is to win, not give out pumpkin pies every Thanksgiving and visit kids in hospitals to make masshole woke liberals happy.
Hockey's a tough sport. Either lace up, or get the hell off the ice
Enough said.
