I was really hoping that Markov would have been named 'C' but we've all heard him in interviews.

The one reason why I would have preferred him is because of his work ethic. He has worked so hard to get where he is. Multiple knee injuries, I even wondered if he would continue playing at the rate he was going. I really like how he took young Subban under his wing and we now have a team overflowing with leadership.

Pacioretty was a good call, young player who has a lot of hockey ahead of him and it seems to have ignited him for the start of this season.

Markov is definitely a great player. Glad I have him in my keeper league :)
