95Crash Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 He did whenever one of the A's was out. I think he did in the playoff game that Kovy missed, too. Thanks, I couldn't remember, but I figured he might've. Back in the day, I used to remember stuff like that. Now, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newarkdev01 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 He was the A when Kovy was out and I think at two or three other points. Honestly, Im more interestedin the line set ups and how we are going to look Saturday with only a week under our belt and the new faces on all our lines.

Marshall Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My main problem with Salvador as captain is the same as with Leach in Albany - you gotta play the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 There is only one really good choice for captain in my book and that is Elias. Regardless if Elias gets the C or not, he and Brodeur are the leaders of this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Elias too is going to be 37. I hope we select a Captain who is in his Twenties ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msweet Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I like having a defenseman as C. When you have a scorer as C, every time he goes into a scoring slump, you hear that it is the "weight of the Captaincy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Not sure if anyone saw this: TSN: "DeBoer plans to name the Devils' new captain before Saturday's opener at the Islanders. Kovalchuk refused to campaign for it, saying he's been a captain before." http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=413701 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias26 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I like having a defenseman as C. When you have a scorer as C, every time he goes into a scoring slump, you hear that it is the "weight of the Captaincy" I agree with this. I think Sal would be a good choice but wouldn't be surprised if it's Kovy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 per TG Pete DeBoer announces that Bryce Salvador has been named captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin226 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 @TGfireandice: Elias and Kovalchuk keep the A's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caron14 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 fine... for me it doesnt matter who wear the C but now it settle... (short term) I would like Zajac or Kovy but that it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 i think it's a good setup and perfect timing to put the C on Henrique in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caron14 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 i think it's a good setup and perfect timing to put the C on Henrique in time We will see... he played an half of a season with us... If he continues i see him as captain, but an half of a season is not a career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 We will see... he played an half of a season with us... If he continues i see him as captain, but an half of a season is not a career of course not, but he said that he'd like to be captain one day and if he continue to play the way he is. he should be. he scored bigger goals in his first season than Zach in all his years in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Forgetting we had a thread for this already, I posted in the other one lol. Once again, congrats Sal, well deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilNurn Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Gah, well I guess we get to speculate for a couple years as to whether it will be Kovalchuk, Zajac or Henrique once Sal and Elias are gone...I'm glad we'll have an experienced vet as a captain, though, nothing wrong with that.

95Crash Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Wow, even with the rumor earlier in the week, I'm still surprised that Kovalchuk didn't get it. I wonder how him not getting it will affect him. But congrats to Bryce. I'm happy for him. He's a solid player.

Chuck the Duck Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Good for Salvador. After his concussion issues a few seasons ago, he had a nice bounce back year last season and was 1 of the 3 potential captains I would have picked (Elias or Zajac being the others).

ThreeCups Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 After Sal retires I would like to see Zajac get the "C", with Elias and Kovy with the "A"....once Patty is out of the picture his A should go to Henrique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newarkdev01 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 ya it may sound stupid but I hope Kovy doesn't take it as a slight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Kovy saw how much this club did to get him. He's gonna be fine. Also, good for Sal. I was surprised when I first heard the rumour (during the whole lockout I was sure Kovy would be the C), but it's well deserved. The only thing I'm not a fan of here is that two years from now (or so) we'll be picking captain again.
