Julien:Deja vu

Yep..it goes with the territory. TH ebiggest problem so far this year has been Brodeur. He has had a very un-brodeur like start, allowing 5 gooals on 2-3 occassions.

Similar to Huet's poor start in Montreal.

The difference is, they don't have the luxury of having two potential number one goalies.

Anyone else surprised to see Elias get the C? Very skilled but not a good two way player. With a coach that pays attention to defensive detail, I'm sure Julien would rather have a different player wear the C. Someone that leads by example.

Like I mentioned before, the new NHL is also crowning the highest paid and skilled players with the C. Not necessarily because they're good leaders.

In fairness to Elias, from what I have heard he is the ultimate team guy in the dressingroom and was a unanimous choice by the players. Apparently he is the one who is alwasy organizing the team get togethers etc.

That's good Barry. How about on the ice?

Barry, I always go to AB for advice on who should be captain. I think you should ignore what CJ says in this case, because AB generally knows a lot about this issue.
