Wow curl, you’re sure up early, i bet that the responsibility to provide our fair barilkosphere with the links we need must result in many sleepless nights, eh?

I’m on the west coast and I don’t get to sleep until the FTB is done. I tend to put it together at 1 am west coast since I hope by then there are more links up. Or that google reader isn’t lagging an hour or two.

So if I get up at 9am, I should get to read it first…

Perhaps yes? If I am behind I set the post to go up 2:15 am my time. But typically I shoot for 2am west coast.

agreed. Seriously, who looks at Francois Beauchemin and goes “Yes, Leafs captain. Move over Sundin.”?
I don’t see why we can’t have another non-captain season. Whats the rush?
40 years we've stayed loyal, waited, and pained. That is the honor of being a Leafs' fan.
I don’t think they are naming a captain this season, because as you say there is no rush. Let OLAS emerge naturally and without the added pressure. Why dump the C on someone before that, we need no regent holding the crown for the king

Yeah, no cap’n this year. 2010-11, OLAS, or maybe 2011-2012 [once Kaberle is gone]. Bouch doesn’t have nearly the clout in the NHL to be a new team captain ala a Peca in NYI.

3 years without a captain certainly seems long but Schenn is definitely captain material.

3 years in a rebuild is fine for me. There’s still a lot of movement coming and I’d rather not have a captain than have a series of guys that end up getting moved.
Plus, not having a captain lets the vets help out in anyway they can without having one guy as ‘the guy’. Better to have the group leading things that one guy for now.

If Beauchemin had skippered the Ducks then I could possibly see it happening. There are not many Leafs left that could carry the ‘C’ that have been with the team long beyond Kaberle and he’s a good alternate.

Dude, seriously. There’s not a whole lot going on right now so excuse me for linking something I didn’t know was kosher. At the very least I figured it’d spark debate on the captain situation and not “omg that new source is terrible how dare you link it when there was not much else to choose from.”

we’re not trying to indict you wrap, it’s Leafs related news and you do your job well. It’s just that b/r has been putting out incredibly lazy articles, and this one was the tipping point. All the vitriol is about that site, don’t think we’re shooting the messenger.
Yeah well there is a whole lot of lazy news/articles out right now. So pardon me.

You do a wonderful job Wrap and we really appreciate it. Pardon us for our unreasonably high expectations. We are, after all, Leaf fans.

Y’all won’t believe the “Heatly to San Jose” threads happening over at PD. Blows my mind. Guess the Sharks are really looking for that playoff performer! Too bad they’re looking in the wrong direction.
Identical to Sergei Berezin in every way, only 1/10 his size.

"We've had an ongoing problem with Grabovski this year." Bob Gainey, 4/04/09
Hmmm.
Combining the topics in the threads above, I vote for Zombie Red Horner as Captain. That dude knew a little sumpin’ sumpin’ ’bout truculence, old school.
Though Horner was a D-man, and we’re a little stacked back there. Come to think of it, I think the better choice is Zombie King Clancy.

Hmm, he’s not the Captain, but do think the dude is already playing for them.

Hmmm, prolly too late for Odin Mercer, master of the photoshop, to be hanging around – but I’m going to try it anyway.

I bet the Habs would scoop up all the Zombie Midgets. Hell they can acually ice the real lollipop guild from the Wizard of Oz (only zombified)
