The Calgary Flames has not had a captain since Mark Giordano was taken in the expansion draft by the Seattle Kraken
“I think in our 30-and-older age-group, there’s two guys that represent us very well who are — quite honestly — guys you could call co-captains in Mikael and Tanny,” Sutter said. “But I also think in that group, there’s — what — about seven Stanley Cups, and those guys don’t have to have a ‘C’ on them.
“It’s really, really difficult to be a captain of a hockey team in Canada,” Sutter said. “It’s totally different if you’re in the sun or somewhere where it’s not a hockey market. This is totally different. There’s a lot of pressure on that player.Article content Besides, the Flames went without one last year, and it didn’t hurt them in skating to win the Pacific Division during the regular season with a 50-21-11 record.
When asked if he’d seen guys thrive when the ‘C’ was stitched on their chest, Sutter replied, “Because it’s natural. It’s not something that comes from outside. I would bet that Jarome and Gio were captains when they were boys.”Article contentThe Flames announced Tuesday the dates they’re slated to wear their third jerseys — the ones with Blasty the fire-breathing horse on them.
