RDS: Gionta named Captain

I don't mind the pick. Still would've liked to see Gorges or Cammo get it, but thank God Markov wasn't given the C. Above all else, I'm just happy he didn't get it.

Good choice. Really there's a group of leaders in Gionta, Markov, Gill, Gorges, Cammy, Plekanec and Gomez, Gionta is probably the one who can handle the "C" the best though.
