The Oilers have named Jordan Eberle, Sam Gagner, Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nick Schultz and Ryan Smyth Assistant Captains.
How would you feel if you were playing in Edmonton and left off of this list?
Some things will never change, always something special coming from the team who plays in the armpit of the earth. |
The term is alternate captains, not assistant captains. There is no such thing as an assistant captain in the NHL. The link has it wrong, but the headline is correct.

Did they name any other Cp'ers as alternate/assitant captains?

Why does Captain America have an "A" on his forehead?

Well Hall is from Calgary, and I know Eberle spent a decent amount of time here too. They could be among us!

I'm still waiting to see them slam some goals past Dubnyk by 'accident.'

They just stole a page from the Calgary Board of Education!
One third qualified as 'emerging', another as 'evident', and the last third 'exemplary'.

He was trying to differentiate his uniform from the average Oilers jersey. The only place his A would standout was on his head gear. With the Oilers you never have to worry about that being a problem. Even if the A were affixed to their helmets you would never see it as their heads are firmly planted in the their... hockey pants.

I misread and thought it essentially said "Oilers name one of their 3 assistant captains".
I thought that was a bit odd, but came in to see who it was.
I wasn't aware they had, in fact, named 1/3 of their team assistant captains.
That is much, much more silly.
Edmonton is great to have around. They're that wacky brother of ours who got his doctorate, but inexplicably moved backed home, and now lives in our parents basement and spends most of his time working on the invention which is apparently going to make him rich, but really, it's probably something like a toaster with handles.
I love them.

Maybe it's part of an elaborate thing where they'll be giving everyone in attendance an "A". Kinda like the 7th man BS

Well I just let out a huge sigh of relief. When they named Ference captain I worried that it could end up being the first of many positive personnel decisions. Glad to see that out the window.
