Brian Gionta in discussion about his captaincy and his life at and away from the rink.
Stubbs video capture
Brian Gionta is heading into his second season as captain of the Canadiens, having been so named last Sept. 29 in, appropriately, a low-key ceremony in his team’s Brossard dressing room.
I had the opportunity last week, one year to the day since his first game as captain, to sit down with the 31-year-old native of Rochester, N.Y., and talk about how his life has changed – and hasn’t changed – since he was chosen the 28th Canadien to wear the C on his jersey.
Here are the key parts of the discussion in a 16-minute high-definition video. The companion Stubbs feature story will appear in Thursday’s Hockey Inside/Out preview section in The Gazette, and will be linked here.

It’s game day , very pumped. The new Gomez era begins!
Yes. PG made JM very happy with the Betts signing.
I hope Scotty G plays well in these first games and proves to one and all he followed up the pre-summer talk with the walk.
No passengers this year. On y va!
I’d actually like to see our boys paste the Laffs on our way to number 25… but because I know the TO media cabal would get all “Laff Nation” with it all… It’s a big fat no from me.
No Cup for Toronto until Cherry bites it.
Yes Id like the leafs to make the playoffs, getting tired of habs-Boston and habs-Philly all the time.
[Disclaimer]: I’m a hockey fan. I care about the habs, but probably not as much as you.
Yeah I’d like to see a Habs vs Leafs playoff series, I just hate the Leafs and a us beating them out of the playoffs would put a big smile on my face! haha
sooo excited for tomorrow’s game I cant even sleep because I keep thinking about it. OMG Habs hockey is BACK….. DAMN I love the Canadiens sooo much!!!!!! GO HABS GO… lets RAKE emm’ LEAFS!

How come “who cares” isn’t an option?

They lost me 2 quarts of rum, better make it up next year with a cup!
gaawd… enough with the captaincy questions! Is this why you do this Stubbs? Because we’re such hard critics.
I’d like to go on a tangent here if y’all don’t mind.
You know how people complain about uncivilized discussion. Those discussion on here where the cutest of insults appear. I’m thinking of ‘troll’ here. I love that jargon! It’s so fantasy world related. Anyway. On the topic of online arguments escalating. This is the internet. Whatdyou expect? Don’t worry about it guys!!
#seriouslyStubbs, c ut that shit out.
in retrospect: peace is a better choice.
I love lil Gionta and besides the fact I believe he needs a couple of Gorilla’s on his line I think “here’s the wow factor” Gomez is the true C on the C.H.. Yes ,I know he SUCKed for a couple of years now but He’s gonna have a KILLER year this year”you can feel it” and when Lurch almost killed MaxPax, who got in that big loafs face?…Gomez! I feel we are going to all have a spanish Christmas present under our tree this year and the team will be lead by our $ 7 million dollar man regardless of who’s the captain.Oh by the way,if he chokes this year “he better be injured” eff him and feed him too the Dawgs! R.I.P. Steve Jobs,thanks for making Star Trek real.
I agree with u dude! I am looking for good season from Scotty!

Someone really should invent the sarcasm font. Some people are just dense.
Olé, olé, olé oleé
My God is this guy for real? I hope he isn’t on any payroll for his work… This is a great example as to why reading skills are as important as writing skills in his profession.
There’s a “10″ on the Idiot Blogger Meter™
So I just found out that Price is going to be wearing pink Reebok equipment for October for Breast Cancer awareness……pretty sweet.
The Scott Gomez line………..where wingers go to die.
When everyone’s healthy, this line up isn’t too shabby if you ask me…
Cammaleri – Plekanec – Kostitsyn
Pacioretty – Gomez – Gionta
Desharnais – Eller – Cole
Darche – Betts – White
Moen can rotate with Darche if we play more physical teams…
PK – Gill
Markov – Yemelin
Georges – Campolli
Spacek can… ummm… he can ummm…. something with Gatorade?
I think Webber can be traded for a 2nd or 3rd rounder…
nhl on tsn panel thinks habs will finish 8th…. bubble team as bob talking head mckenzie puts it. cant wait till they eat crow.
Canadiens should have gone after Owen Nolan instead. Proven leader, consumate team player, solid scorer, great hands, still has some legs…..
… about 100 years old.
I really dont want to start this season off 0-2. Were gonna need big things from price again this season. hopefully, this is the year, he begins to take the team on his shoulders. I feel like its gonna be a big season for him and he establishes himself as a true nhll sll star goalie.
Puck drops for the Habs tomorrow against the Leafs. They better take them seriously because the Leafs will play like it is the Stanley Cup final.
First game… last game… same difference to the people in the 416
Olé, olé, olé oleé
Ya nothing on the line

It’s P.K. Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
@trisonmy
No. For one thing you can send any player down for conditioning after an injury without fear of waivers as long as it’s for no more than 14 days. Also Eller is pretty young, he may still be immune to waivers, idk. Remember that 1way or 2 way contracts have no effect on waivers.
Ok thanks
So until Eller and White return, our lines are set… I ‘spect that our fourth liners as well as Weber will feel some fire under their arses.
Does Eller have to clear waivers if the Habs want to send him to Hamilton for conditioning?
The game at the ACC Thursday night will be a statement game for our Habs. They will make an example out of the Loafs…
This yrs team should be good for 3 goals a game maybe 4.
The D have to clear the net for Price at all cost. 95% of the goals scored on Price last season was due to our D not taking out the man.
Martin has to stop line juggling all the time. Pick his lines and stick to them. Let the guys get used to each other …
“Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing”
if price lets in only 2 goals a game, we’ll win more then half!
With the flu bug ,things have changed Dean so no statement game tomorrow…. That is unless those Marlies have more quality players sick and injured and we get blown out”impossible”anyway.
Flyers fans reaction to Blair Betts being claimed: http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2011/10/5/2471045/blair-betts-waivers-flyers-canadiens

Great writeup. Betts is JM’s wet dream come true!
Third time posted, Berkie.
Get with the effin’ program.
Kids today!
***Subbang Baby!!!***
Good things come in threes, no?
I forget how Betts played against us 2 years ago in the SC CF, anybody remember? grobble, grobble, curse of french & ex-habbies! giroux, briere, gagne, julien, ryder, biron, leclair, st. louis, ribeiro, grabo, lil kostistyn….must have something to do with building an AMC on hallowed ground, the ghosts even shun us with mario tremblay on RDS every night. I’ll carry the memories of the haunted house tour of the old forum forever.
First time on this thread! So nyaaaaaaaaa shaddap!

Nyaaaaaaaaaa shaddap is mine, guy who prefers cooked tomatoes.
You’ll have to do better than that.
You’re supposed to ™ something if it’s yours. I haven’t seen you ™ that so far so I don’t think you can claim it.

He dosnt take very many penalities at all. I like that kinda thing from a 4th liner.
I have a good feeling about this year’s addition… As long as they stay healthy the Canadiens should be a lot of fun to watch, i think they’re going to skate teams into the ice..
And Blair Betts was an excellent addition, exactly what the Habs needed.
Go Habs!!
healthy… yeah, when was the last time you saw that?
When we finished first in the East
only a few more hours…
second place is just the first loser
Praise Allah hockey is back tomorrow
