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. I agree with fauxrumors.

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! 1)Naming Guerin captain on the surface sounds great, BUT:
