Skip to about 1:03 in that clip and you'll see the beginning part where Marchand basically mugs the guy. I had that game on for about 5 minutes and in that time, Marchand was penalized for slew footing a guy, which is his main move. 100 times more likely to result in an injury than just throwing some punches, too. He is a piece of garbage. They should let him and Wilson kill each other. Edited October 4, 2018 by mfitz804 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marchand is going to do something egregious that will get the DOPS involved in short order and I hope they finally hit him hard. I don't care how talented his is, he's a joke and his antics completely overshadow any of the good things he has done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many have we had? I would think Alexi Yashin, Michael Peca, and Doug Weight prob took up a lot of the time through their awful 00s era. I guess that is still a lot for a 10 year-ish period.

I guess that is still a lot for a 10 year-ish period. True. I was just thinking, whenever the Isles came into the league (the expansion that they came in with was in 67, I think, right?), that 15 games in 50 years didn't seem like a big number. But I guess that's a captain every 3 or 4 years or so, which is probably average, I would guess. Still curious how many we've had, especially in a shorter period. Feel like we have had at least 10, but I could be wrong. Stevens took up a good 10 years or so just on his own. I guess I was just thinking that some teams seem to go through a new captain every year for what seems like 2 or 3 years or more consecutively, when they're sucking, or guys getting traded or leaving from free agency, so figured that number would add up quickly. I mean, we went without a true captain for a couple years in the last half decade or so when things were bleak, right? I'm thinking in terms of when Elias was kinda the roaming captain, and a couple other guys I think filled in too (can't remember who). 1 minute ago, mfitz804 said: One too few. #HallForPresident Amen to that.

I was literally just reading that list as well - I counted 18 because I was curious how many we had total, even before the Devils. Looking at the Isles list, it's indeed 15, and they've had some crazy stability with captaincy basically their entire existence. Kinda sucks that we've had 18 in a little over 40 years, and they've had 15 in 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they eventually gave it to Elias and took it away...or maybe they took it away and that is what started the long period of no C. Those years are getting so blurry for me. It's is hard to believe that on opening night at the Rock Jay Pandolfo and Jamie Langenbrunner were still Devils. It feels like a million years ago now. Brian Gionta too!

It's is hard to believe that on opening night at the Rock Jay Pandolfo and Jamie Langenbrunner were still Devils. It feels like a million years ago now. Brian Gionta too! According to that list, 05-06 was the only year we didn't have a captain, but I feel like ever since Stevens retired after 03-04, and Niedermayer took over, there was a ton of gray area and back and forth. Elias (along with Langenbrunner, who was the other name I was thinking of) kind of went back and forth for a while I think, either each having the C, or rotating with no C and three A's. If you think about it, that's really when the number of our captains shot up - we went through 6 different captains between 04 and 16 (Nieds, Langenbrunner, Elias, Parise, Salvador, Greene). That's half the total number of captains we've had since the team's existence. Also, I can't believe Driver was only captain for one year. I thought he was at least 2 or 3. I guess it was Muller for those years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Let's remember, we had 3 alternates for most of the time that Bryce was captain, because he barely played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Every day that goes by with Nylander unsigned gives me some hope Ray might be able to pull something off. I don't see Nylander budging on his asking price, nor should he. I'm not sure if he is worth 2 firsts, a second, and a third round pick, but the longer it goes on the worse it is for Toronto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a lil in his defense, Eller turned to & taunted the Bruin bench after goal # 6. Uncool as well. Does Marchard seem to target non fighters. He doesn't have McQuaid to be his back any more.
