Confusing Scene in Montreal as a Second Player is Spotted With the C

The ceremony included several Montreal Canadiens players paying tribute to Bergeron. Among them was David Savard, who donned the captain's C on his jersey during the ceremony.

While this is likely a formality in honour of Bergeron's retirement, it does seem very odd. No other player there is graced with their teams' captaincy for this event!

Savard is a veteran NHLer who joined the Canadiens back in 2021-22. He has played over 730 games in the NHL.

David Savard may be a great leader, but he's not the type of player usually thought of as a captain.

While he is valued by fans and management in Montreal, giving him the C for this event is a little odd!
