Sabres name Craig Rivet as captain
via 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.
Rivet will be making his debut with the Sabres in Friday’s season opener against Montreal in HSBC Arena. He was acquired over the summer in a trade from San Jose and has become an instant hit with his teammates and the coaching staff.
“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.”
