    Default Mark Giordano names Flames captain

    "Giordano is replacing the Flames' longtime leader, Jarome Iginla. Iginla's tenure ended when Calgary traded him to the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 2013 campaign. Mark Giordano is a logical successor and even one of his main competitors for the job, Michael Cammalleri, said that he would pick Giordano to serve as the team's captain. Curtis Glencross and Cammalleri have been selected to serve as the team's assistant captains."

    Sure fire hall of fame trio right there.

    Cammalleri I'm a bit surprised gets an 'A'. I don't consider him much of a leader on the ice or in the dressing room.

    Maybe the 'A' on his jersey refers to something else...

    I should of expected it but I never thought Giordano would be the new Flames captain, I just think of Iggy... But good for him on sporting the "C"

    I never really thought of Giordano as a captain but in this case I think he's the best choice available. Plus his contract lasts for three more seasons so it's not like they are in danger of having him hit the UFA market anytime soon.

    I have no idea how vocal he is in the locker room and whether or not he's a jerk (doesn't seem to be though), but in terms of leading by example I'd say he's a solid choice.

    IMO the locker room stuff is overrated, good or bad. Gio is a warrior on the ice.

    Please elaborate on lock room leadership being overrated. I'm not calling you out by any means, but I'm very curious to hear your reasoning as it's contrary to many other opinions.

    The games are played on the ice are they not?
