from Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News,
In a surprising choice, defenseman Craig Rivet was named captain of the Buffalo Sabres today, coach Lindy Ruff announced after practice in HSBC Arena.
“I’m obviously a little bit surprised,” Rivet said. “I’m new to the team and organization but .‚.‚. this means a lot to me today. Maybe I’ve been through a little more than most guys. It’s a credit to myself that I’ve persevered through a lot throughout my career. This is a great day. I’m happy to be part of a real strong unit of leadership on this team.”

I think it was a great choice. Rivet and Nabokov were the leaders of the Sharks last year. We’ll see how this plays out.

Hmm...Interesting choice. It seems that recent writing have assumed Pominville would become the full-time captain, guess they were wrong.
