No Surprises in The AnnouncementMike Richards stepped into an "A" last season in a vote of confidence from coaching and management. After leading the team in scoring and being named the Most Awesomely Responsible-Looking Boyfriend by SportSquee for the 2007-08 season, it was time for his promotion to the "C." (And SportSquee's now featured him as the epitome of the Home Depot Husband.)
Simon Gagne wore an "A" last season while he played, too. As long as we keep him and he contributes to the bottom line, he'll stay in the running for a leadership role on the team.
Kimmo Timonen wore the "A" in 2007-08 when Gags was out. No surprise here, but lots of happiness and "about darn times" in Casa Flyers.Femme.
P.S.: I may have to reconsider the Richie Tshirt purchase this season. I like to go for less obvious selections, and with his captaincy confirmed, everybody and his/her grandmother will be buying that one.

psssst....everyone and their grandmother already has a Richie shirt. Don't let the C scare you off...
Okay, K. I'll buy if you do! :)
But Richie's not my guy!
I've got a Richards shirt :D. Bought mine in May. I'm a little surprised he got the C cuz I thought he didn't want it. I'm happy though. If the concussion bug doesn't bite him, I'd be willing to bet he'll be the longest tenured captain in Flyers' history.
