redwing77 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Congrats Matt G, Rory, and Matt J! I was actually expecting jones to be named captain, but Greene is just as good. As for Andy, I think he'll actually do a lot better as assistant (or is it alternate?) captain. After two seasons ago's production, the C seemed to weigh him down. I am predicting a resurgence in numbers for Mr. Schneider this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choyt3 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Any thoughts on why Schneider didn't keep the "C"? From the press release: Greene was selected captain by a team vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxMeNow Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Any thoughts on why Schneider didn't keep the "C"? ...selling TOO MANY appliances in his spare time! (like he needs an alternate career!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 The personality of a team is driven by its leaders. Sometimes those leaders wear the C, sometimes they don't. Looks like the team vote went toward physical, hard workers who show up every night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Barn Guy Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I had the pleasure of working with Matt Greene this summer at the hockey camp, and I can tell you this: Matt Greene is an excellent choice to be captain. He's the kind of player who will look his teammates in the eye and challenge them to meet his commitment and effort for the team's success. There won't be any "dead weight" around with Matt as captain. Good luck Matt, and congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 The personality of a team is driven by its leaders. Sometimes those leaders wear the C, sometimes they don't. Looks like the team vote went toward physical, hard workers who show up every night. True, Schneider's offensive numbers did go down, but when didn't he show up to play defense? I think defensively, Schneider has remained consistant at least the past two years. I really think that the players are all about sharing the duties. Matt Greene has no offensive expectations. His job is to be a defensive brick wall. With only that dimension to worry about, I think Matt will be a great captain because he won't be juggling defense, offense, powerplay, and penalty kill like Schneider did last season and will do this season. Greene basically does defense and penalty kill. Workload alone would say that, if he is the leader type, that the "C" will not be much of a burden.

jk Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Greene's offensive game was coming along at the end of last year and I expect him to surprise a few people in that regard this year. In terms of workload, I predict that Greene will see a ton of icetime, especially in the third period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 In my opinion, great choices by the team. Matt seems to have excellent communication skills and I think that's one of the important ingredients as well as the others mentioned above. Looks like this team will have good leadership, and a core of good character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoteauRinkRat Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Congratulations to all of the players named captains. It is an honor on any team to wear a "C" or an "A" and these guys should be proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 The captain's C is certainly an honor to wear. Just keep it off your replica jersey when you're walking around REA. Then you just look silly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spfreak Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Inside College Hockey named their All American and All Rookie Teams. Zajac and Radke made the All Rookie team, but Matt Jones only made 3rd team (what the h*ll is up with that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 Uh, spfreak, the son of the head coach of the LA Kings is on that second team (if your intention was to mention North Dakota players on those lists). Critique: - No WCHA players on their first team? - They got a defenseman named "Greene" on their first team, but it's not the best defenseman named "Greene" in college hockey.

spfreak Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 My intention was to simply point out what I felt was an extreme injustice in that Jones was IMHO one of the best defenseman in the country last year. I saw that Murray was second team but that wasn't the point of my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
