    1)Naming Guerin captain on the surface sounds great, BUT:
    a) He wasn’t informed until he was about to walk up to the microphone this morning!
    b) The older guys who slugged it out last season(Silinger/Witt) were probably more deserving. An ‘A’ for Guerin would probably have been appropriate. Its not like he has had the persona that Smyth had, of a natural leader.
    c) From someone afar and not a fan of the team, seems like a PR stunt more than anything. Guess if a goalie could accept it another Mass native would be the captain right now!

    I agree with fauxrumors. Handing the ‘C’ to a new player isn’t necessarily the best way to have chemistry on the team. Silly would probably have been the best choice.

    He won’t be that bad of a captain. I mean, it could be worse.
