I'm confused, Apps. Its almost like youre insinuating a team that was trying to be competitive should have kept a player of this caliber?

His stats have been inflated playing on a bad team.

 

[Embiid]

Teams will "figure him out"

" he would have broken Bobby clarkes records and in turn, shattered his tiny man ego".

Never convince me otherwise.

He'll pass his goal total next year. Hopefully against the Flyers.

Well, yeah. But he sisnt do it as a Flyer now, so Bobby can keep stroking his tiny ego as "the best flyer" ever.

When Giroux retires, we need a "Congratulations to the best Flyer ever" billboard in front of the WFC.

Giroux never played against plumbers though. He also shot on goalies who realized their knees bent.

Your hero is a garbage human and an overrated player. Enjoy letting that one marinate

Prime Clarke isn’t even a 4th liner in 2024.

Most of today's 3rd liners walk Clarke every time lol. Dude would end up looking like NicD out there. +500 back when Elton started making music though

 

[kudymen]

I love when people use that stat as an actual argument for anything on a single, isolated player basis

such a hot take.

Hell, he wasn't even the best player on his own team.

Bobby Clarke was a three time NHL MVP.

Only 7 players in the history of the NHL have won three or more MVPs.

He played in a league with only 17 teams.

He helped Canada beat those oh-so-skilled Russians, both at the Summit Series, where Russia's coach said Clarke was Canada's best player, and then later in 1976. The type of skilled players you apparently think would skate circles around him.

He isn't an NHL 4th liner in 2024? You gotta be kidding me.

It boggles the mind.

Bobby Clarke, 3 time NHL MVP, who, by the way scored 85 and 60 points in his last two seasons in the NHL in 82/83 and 83/84 at the end of a career where he absorbed and played through unfathomable physical punishment, who was Canada's best player against Russian all-star teams, who was only on the ice for something like 42 even strength goals against over the course of the 74/75 and 75/76 seasons COMBINED, would be a Nic Deslauriers level player if he came back to the NHL in his prime.

I mean, I don't know if it's delusional or a vendetta, but it sure isn't reality.

His 3 MVPs from decades ago, while playing in a shit league with shit competition, are as relevant and valuable to this comparison as my MVPs in elementary school soccer.

I'd argue your tee ball participation trophies carry more weight than Clarke's MVPs.
