Nice, i’m really happy about that. Matheson is slowly becoming one of my favorite Habs.
Can’t wait to see what MM cooks up this season.
I’ve no issue with this, good for him, excited to see what he does this season.
Nice, good choice
Love how involved he is in the community, signs of a leader
Dude 100% showed up a lot of people in this fan base last year and all the power to him, glad to see he’ll be part of the leadership squad here
Good choice.
Great! He’s a good choice. What other options would there have been? I can picture Monahan, Anderson, or Caufield doing the job, but not sure the first two will be here as long as Matheson. CC will surely be Gallagher’s replacement eventually though
Assistant *to the* regional captain.
[Everyone liked that.]
Love me some Matheson. I wonder if the front office may want to trade him. He’s a LD and could have great value at the TDL
Local boy done good.
Good choice for Matheson but my take on Gallagher is probably not going to be popular so I’m ready to be down-voted to oblivion. He set a poor example last year for the team by playing hurt, twice, when he knew he should have sat. The team is very young and impressionable especially by NHL veterans. Gally has to take some heat for that. He should know he has to set the right example and the lunacy of playing hurt on a lost season is not the right example. Gallagher’s “A” should have been assigned to someone else.
Excellent, glad he got it.
