Here's an intro to Formula 1 lore. Get to know some famous rivalries, resident curses, and basic history!

2018 -> 2026

I know and also appreciate and enjoy the fact that the panthers have a “decentralized” leadership group (w Barkov and Tkachuk out esp.) but something is just really odd to me about this. Pair it w the fact that Marchand is doing all of the captainly things on the ice (and not Ekblad) and it’s extra weird

Roster from the Nashville game this month

You can see there's an A next to both Marchy's and Reino's names

And then here's the roster report from the first game of the season, aka vs Chicago

I guess they just don't want the visible letter on the jersey?

Ik Marchy said he could feel the weight the letter gives him when he plays, and maybe he just plays easier or more loose when he doesn't have it? Maybe same goes for Reino? Just speculation cuz ik Marchy took being a captain very seriously and it was a big deal and honour to him

Marchy has specifically Captain experience. He was the Captain of the Boston Bruins for a year and a half. I mean sometimes you can see him standing with the ref along with the other team's representative while the refs dish out penalties, last season included and with no (visible) letter

Given example: vs Buffalo last season

I think it's despite the fact that Marchy is on a different team, he was at one point still a Captain and an A before that, and thus refs still take him more seriously as they would any other Captain or A
