Icon41 No more C for Jumbo Joe?

And McLellan confirms #SJSharks will have no captain or assistants when training camp starts.

McLellan doesn't call it a "stripping" of the captaincy, says competition will be open and Thornton, like anyone else, a candidate.

It's going to be fascinating to see if San Jose can still be a dominant team in the West this season, or if it's just going to be a gigantic train wreck.

Big fan of this team, but this stripping captaincies is getting ridiculous. What a bunch of BS. They are scared to rip the team up (which is sensible), but feel STH's want some changes.

Ice strumpets and moving letters on jerseys around it is then.

I think that is the idea.

Make it so he doesn't want to be there, as there were rumours he was resistant to a move this summer.

I've never been a fan of these strippings, but this is especially ridiculous. Thornton gets to compete for his own captaincy?

Pre-training camp: "We feel you may no be the right leader for this team."
Post-training camp: "Never mind! You da man!"

If you're going to take it away, just be upfront about it.

Whoever the captain may be, the Sharks will come out of the gates blazing: Marlow is going to be the talk of the league for the first quarter of the season and how Jumbo Joe is such a great center for Marlow and Pavelski. Down the stretch, they'll cruise to the playoffs and they'll likely finish in the the top 3 of the Western Division. Then, come the playoffs and they'll exit either in the first or second round.

There's nothing wrong with that team. It's just how they approach the season as compared to a team like the Kings.

It would be funny if Patrick Marleau got the captaincy back. Ha ha

The name of my brothers dog. It's probably the dumbest animal alive.

Has a team ever had 2 former captains still playing on the team after they lost the C? What a weird dressing room that must be.

Feels more like constructive dismissal than a stripping. Not happy he didn't wave his no trade I guess. Lost in game 7 to the Stanley Cup champs without your best defenceman, so blow it up?

It isnt like they had a 1 game upset. They have consistently lost for years.

Does Jumbo J even want to be captain? Maybe he doesn't but still wants to be in SJ.
