I think Pacioretty is the safer choice, anyway ... heck, the guy have been our top goal scorer for a while now ... nice to see a draft pick stick around long enough to earn the captaincy ... good on him ... bringing my Subban jersey in to have an "A" put on it ...
Cheers.

I'd rather PK but if it's a team vote than I'm good with it. They know who their leader is. Although hope it wasn't 8 - 7 with numerous abstentions. Wonder who gets to vote (Hudon, Sherbac, ?)
I fear Max won't be here in a couple of years when his contract comes up. Don't like the constant changing of the 'C' which is another reason why I'd prefer PK.

I'm glad it's Max as well, not because he'd be any better than the four Alternates, but because I think he's the right choice when you consider what refs and the league want. They don't want fiery, emotional guys, so from that standpoint, it serves the team well. I also am pleased that PK doesn't have to deal with all the ahem, 'details', that captains have to manage. It will allow PK to just be himself, a superior player. Less of a distraction for our best non-goalie, player. Finally, I'm glad it was a player's vote (if indeed it was).
Time to move on.

I'm ok with MaxPac although I feel PK would have handled the extra pressure better... Pacioretty said himself that when he's in a scoring low, he becomes ill and loses sleep...
...I am however ennoyed with the blatant lying... Bergevin said 2 weeks ago that a captain was chosen and now we find out he was just voted in by players... Just like Bergevin saying to the media that he felt Galchenyuk may never be an NHL Center, while telling Galchenyuk at the same time to get ready to be a center next season. I find this quite Mickey Mouse...

Would have preferred PK, but you couldn't go wrong with either. I'm just happy it was a players vote!!

I'm ok with MaxPac, but how about Price and PK? I have this gassy feeling (no,, not Mexican beans) that the true leader of the team wears a mask......

I'm not sure Price needs the extra pressure of being team captain considering he essentially is "expected" to allow 1 goal or fewer every night. He's still very much a leader, though; don't need a letter on your jersey to show it.

Controversy! Another non-Canadian captain.
Just waiting to hear what the Canadian Donald is going to say.
Oh never mind, he'll be too busy fawning over that other team.

The guys who were on the roster at the end of last season were the ones who voted. Newbies like Semin and Kassian, and all the kids, did not have a say. That all makes sense and seems fair. Nice to also see Gally get an "A". Heart and soul player. The real captain is the only guy who spends more time in the crease than him!!

MB has done some good things but he misleads much to often lately..... Have to wonder if he sends mix messages when dealing with players hope not but it could be an issue.
All good with Max would have preferred PK but really I just want this team to win and the window and clock is ticking....and the East ain't getting easier.

Including the season about to start, he has 4 years on his deal. When his contract is up, there are only two current players who'll be under contract at that time - Gallagher and Subban. He's not going anywhere, unless he asks for it.

May be Max will be a Hab longer but we have him for a song right now and I think he will want a lot more soon. If he wants an upgrade and an extension he has a bargaining chip that he also wears the C. Perhaps I am still burned by Carbo's trade. I truly believe that was the beginning of the demise of the Habs. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I never like trading a captain. My view is lock the guy up long term before you give him the C.

Just watch the 19 minute presser on TSN site. Must say, Max is very impressive - humble yet confident and very well spoken. seems to fully understand the magnitude of the expectations and task ahead of him. Hit all the right notes.
Although couldn't help but notice that he said he's been named captain of teams in the past (high school) but never stayed around long enough to fill the role. Sure hope that ain't a harbinger of things to come.

I'm not a fan of it either. Max left a LOT of money on the table to sign the deal he did. When it expires, there's nothing to indicate the club won't be in a position give him just about whatever he wants. The contract may have 4 years left, but I don't see that being the end of his tenure.

Pacioretty was one of the mature candidates.

It makes sense that the guys who have been in the trenches with the candidates make the choice. Read it on a few articles (Habs InsideOut, etc.). Patches himself was quoted that they kept the guys who finished last year aside that afternoon to vote. They could not vote for Carey (NHL rules) or themselves.
