Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 lame What's so lame about it? If anything, I don't think he'd be named captain if he was as disgruntled as some reported earlier. Still too early to tell if Parise will be re-signing, but this can only be seen as a positive.

Amberite Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 We should all be cheering this. I really doubt they would name Parise captain if Lou believed there was a likely chance that he would leave. Obviously nothing is set in stone, but I think this is a pretty good sign that Parise is much closer to staying long term than is publicly known.

Exactly, this was kinda my first thought when I read that Parise had been named captain of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parise hasn't played much period since last season, but he's still proven why he deserves this from years of being with the team and playing his heart out Edited October 5, 2011 by Colin226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a valid point honestly. The Thrashers tried to do this when they were negotiating with Kovy a couple seasons back and it did not work.

Chorske17 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 You don't need the "C" on your jersey to LEAD. For many years Brendan Shanahan was the real leader of the Red Wings in locker room with all due respect to Steve Yzerman. Yzerman was just a quiet leader. Shanahan was the talker. I think Kovalchuk was a mistake, but hey I thought he was a mistake since day 1. I thought there were a number of better candidates for the "A" than him. Clarkson would've been the best decision they could've made. I don't think the "C" lends itself to Parise staying put. Money talks and BS walks (just ask Kovalchuk). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you fvcking serious with this? What Parise have you been watching the past five years? That guy gives it everything, every shift.

Colin226 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 BTW this is also sweet because it means my authentic Kovalchuk jersey with Alternate Captain's "A" on it will be legit for another season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Poster Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 parise hasn't displayed nearly the passion/fire/leadership that kovy has this is just to appease the guy and get him to sign long term like i said earlier, lame. Sounds like you're another in the growing group who is getting suckered into Kovalchuk's wordsmithery in the media about team and winning and loving the fans. Or maybe Parise didn't show the supporters enough love? Whatever the case, you really are making yourself look unknowledgable by stating Parise lacks "passion/fire/leadership that kovy has". If you know anything about Lamoriello since Day 1, he would never appease giving a player the "C" for a future contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
