AnthonyG Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Marchand named Bruins captain, replaces Bergeron © China Wong/NHLI via Getty Images ByNHL.com @NHLdotcom 7:26 AM Brad Marchand was named captain of the Boston Bruins on Wednesday. The 35-year-old forward replaces Patrice Bergeron, who retired from the NHL on July 25 after playing his entire 19-season career for the Bruins. Marchand is the fourth player to be named captain this month, along with Quinn Hughes of the Vancouver Canucks (Sept. 11), Adam Lowry of the Winnipeg Jets (Sept. 12) and Brayden Schenn of the St. Louis Blues (Sept. 19). Six NHL teams are without a captain: the Anaheim Ducks, Arizona Coyotes, Calgary Flames, Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Flyers and Seattle Kraken. More to come. https://www.nhl.com/news/brad-marchand-named-captain-of-boston-bruins Edited September 20, 2023 by AnthonyG 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I know he's a long time Bruins, but man, thought they would have given it to Pastrnak. Ah well, I see a big regression coming for the Bruins and will be fun to watch and see Marchand take the blame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well luckily for us, he will be captain of the worst era of Bruin hockey since the 60’s. They are headed for very dark times ahead…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Not surprising that they'd honor his body of work as a Bruin, if they want an older guy he makes the most sense Pasta or McAvoy probably get it next Edited September 20, 2023 by Coconuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 It was a two horse race. Him or Pasta. I am with everyone else in the rat race regarding Marchand. But we'd have KILLED to have a player like him at any point in time in our club history. He was and is always a more complete Matt Cooke or Alex Burrows and it SUCKS because while he's absolutely easy to hate and want bad things to happen to. We'd all accept a player exactly like him as one of our greatest ever players at a near ppg who has nearly hit the 100 point 100 PIMs mark a few times in his career and a 3rd round pick no less. He'll be captain for 3-4 years before retiring and then it will go to another and the stink will wash off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it would come down to Marchy or McAvoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Would never have happened on a respectable franchise, but the Bruins have no issue with being a complete disgrace to the sport. Hopefully his tenure is short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
