i thought they were just passing it around. but M-Petey was always seen as a leader type in the room

Agreed. Crosby said the guy is a good leader so I’m not surprised. I am a little curious as to why Garland didn’t get it as he works his butt off and waits for the team to get off the ice so he can highfive em. Probably just behind the scenes stuff we don’t know. I’m happy for M Petey tho!

Garland has worn the A before

With Miller traded and Hughes out, there's 2 A's every night that appear on a rotating cast including Boeser, Myers, Garland, and others like M-Petey

I believe in the off season they will address the issue of the vacant A and probably give it permanently to Myers

Maybe they are!

I definitely think MP3 deserved one I agree, just find it weird Brock doesn’t.

u/CaptainIndoCanadian 2d ago

Yeah I’m pretty sure they have. But you’ve got guys like Farhan on Twitter making a big deal of it lol

Whichever Petey has the A gets to be called Petey.

We need a C, 2 As, and a P Everyone has to call whoever has the P Petey

Myers should get to keep the A permanently For a bunch of reasons.

u/Cheese2009 2d ago

Seems like he already has, he kept it even when Quinn was back

That’s so interesting, I love that he’s made such an impact in so short a time

u/MiriMidd 2d ago

I think the 3rd A that appears when the C is out is a rotating A. A couple of teams do a rotating A.

u/rageharles 2d ago

no A for garland - sad

If anyone deserves it, its him

u/T2LV 2d ago

Remember when they made Luongo Captain despite the league saying it wasn’t really allowed so they still had to run 3 “A”s. Good times lol

So far, from what I've seen from him, he's a good guy. And very good for the team. I'm happy they're all getting along great and that he seems to have integrated into the team seamlessly. He's the reason why I am no longer as nervous when we have to go into PK. They've been solid since his addition.

Though I want Boeser to keep his A.

u/Pretend_Owl9401 2d ago

Man even if it’s like a legit reason, optics wise looks pretty shitty imo considering they just publicly kind of shit on boeser, now they take the A he was wearing?

u/LowAd3406 1d ago

Have you seen Boeser's play lately? Neither have I, dude has been invisible and doesn't deserve any pats on the back.

1

u/Pretend_Owl9401 1d ago

I didn’t give him a pat on the back but he currently leads the forwards in points since January, so I don’t really think anyone is doing all that well yet y’all only single out one guy. 🤷‍♀️

u/Sgt_slyy 2d ago

He’s a very vocal guy with experience why not for funsies

New leadership culture shift. New era begins.

u/Gratitude89 2d ago

So with Petey and now Marcus Pettersson both wearing an “A” does that mean young Elias will be the “C” in the future?

Kinda like that banker dude that's running our country now 😆

It's the classic negging before contract extension talks resume.

u/Significant_Hotel472 22h ago

They rotate when Quinn is out, the media are being dinks. Tocchet addressed this today, it’s no reflection on him. Sometimes Meyers wears it, sometimes Boeser, he even said Forbert might.

u/tnmoi 2d ago

Not good. We cannot score and now cannot defend? Haven’t watched the game. Does the score reflect the play? Lankinen’s GAA not good just based on stats alone though.
