One of the questions lingering over the Buffalo Sabres heads going into the regular season was: who is going to be captain? After a strong preseason showing, and having persevered as one of the strongest players on the team last season, Brian Gionta has been chosen by coach Dan Bylsma to continue his role as captain (per the report on the Buffalo Sabres Facebook).
I’ll start this off by saying that I believe that Dan Bylsma has made the right choice for the captain of this team. Though some people may underestimate what it means to be wearing that letter “C” on a jersey, it has some actual meaning and significance.
