I would be fine with either
But, I believe that you have to have some professionalism when it comes to being a captain. I don’t think Dubs is quite there yet. Think Cally gets the “C” with Staal and Dubs as the “A’s”
hands down Callahan
The Lone Ranger fan living in Philadelphia.
Three good choices
Dubi and Cally are the heart and Soul
Staal is the anchor of of our D-core
Anyone would be a wise choice
Question to throw out there… if we get Richards does he get an A??? “if we get him”
It's Clearly Callahan
Guy is the heart and soul of our team. I love the leadership Dubinsky showed late int the year, but I’m sure if Callahan was in the lineup, he would have been doing the same things. That being said, the reason Dubisnky probably wasn’t wearing an ‘A’ this year was because of his contract dispute and the fact that he missed camp as a result. I would say Cally as captain, with Staal and Dubinsky as assistants.
Great point
Regarding why Dubi didn’t get an A last year. I have a feeling it may be the case again this year.
I would go with the general consencis the it wil be:
Callahan – C
Staal – A
Dubinsky – A
with honorable mentions for Girardi, Richards? & Fedetenko?

There’s many solid candidates for the A, but I cannot see any arrangement other than Captain Cally and A’s for Staal and Dubinsky.
I listen to Enter Sandman before taking exams. I wear the exact same jersey every Giants game. The Rangers goal song goes off in my head when I achieve small successes in life.

C- Cally
A – Dubi
A – Staal
Thats it :)
Although chances of Prust, Girardi, and even Richards.
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
#23 and fittingly, next comes #24 :)
Re: Chris – superb, classy, clutch-playing athlete (i..e not just hockey, but baseball, too, remember?) who represented and led the Rangers as Captain the way a consummate pro should. Good luck, Chris!
As for Ryyyyyaaaaaannnnn Callahan – break out the seam ripper and get the sewing machine warmed up, baby, ‘cause that “A” is comin’ off and the “C” is goin’ on! :)
Cannot wait for 10/27 @ MSG when Cally’s introduced as the 26th Captain in NY Ranger history.
Now all he needs is some of that extra glove padding to put on his skates, shin guards, cup, pants, shoulder pads, elbow pads, helmet w/ a longer visor. Then maybe he’ll have a better chance of being in the lineup for all 82 games like some of his compadres were last season. :)
LM-sarcastic-AO!
Been searching endlessly for that, Free. Thank you from the bottom of my deperately-seeking- sarcasm-font heart. :)
My hats off to Drury...
That was the right way to go. Now he has the fans’ respect and can play an important role within the organization…if that’s what he wants to do. He can be proud of his career and if he chooses to do so, still has a 3/4 line role at a much cheaper price ($1.5 – 2 mil) for the right team. Hell, if the Vancouver had a healthy Drury and another D-man they’d have the cup.
Now:
C = Cally
A = Staal
A = Dubinsky
