It's finally over.
The endless debate regarding the next captain of the Montreal Canadiens has been settled, and it was done in the best manner possible; by allowing the players to vote.
The 29th captain of the Habs will be none other than Max Pacioretty, who served as an alernate captain last year with P.K. Subban, Andrei Markov, and Tomas Plekanec.
The Canadiens will carry four alternate captains this year, presumably alternating the letters for home and away games.
It's a perfect solution, seeing as none of the alternate captains from last year deserved to have their letters stripped.
