So, is there any doubt left that Mike Richards is the Flyer captain this coming season?

Question

Jason Smith signs with Ottawa

Answer 1

Of that there can be no doubt put the big C on his jersey

Answer 2

Woo Hoo!!!!   Way to go SENS!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

He will more than likely be captain.

Answer 4

There was talk last year after getting Smith that it was only  temporary that he held onto the "C".Mike Richards is a class guy who will go through a brick wall for his teammates.How can you not love this guy?Also,he shares his name with my uncle.Perfect if you ask me.

Bill-Yup.I call him Uncle b***s.

Answer 5

It was written on the wall when he signed his contract last season. Now that Smith has moved on it would seem likely to name Richards captain, but the Flyers might name someone else instead because they don't want to rush #18 into something that he may not be ready for.

JOE - You never mentioned that you had an uncle named Mike b***s.....

Answer 6

The Midnite Q's got it right.

Answer 7

Richards said he liked where he was this year and said he doesn't think he is ready to be a captain yet

Answer 8

There was never any doubt!

I'm not trying to rag on Smith but he was never the leader on the team last year (at least nothing i saw on the ice)

Richards on the other hand was that player all year. and it was always known that he would be the Captin at some point

Good luck to Smith with Otawa....But more importantly lets go Mike and my Flyboy's

Answer 9

Yeah, I've been thinking he'd be the Flyer's next captain since last year. I like Mike Richards, and he'd make a way better captain than ole Smith. For some reason I just didn't like Jason Smith as a captain.
