These comments like strip the C from G and put to Coots. WHAT THE ****?
Giroux is franchise player. C'mon fans...
Same, I think he made a case for himself to take the C moving forward. Giroux was invisible the entire series.
I read no surgery, would have been a 4 week recovery timetable if it happened during the regular season. He should be fine by June.Does this mean Couts is going to have offseason surgery?
I would not say invisible. He was probably the teams 2nd-3rd best forward in the series when you are objective and really analyse it.
The biggest reason the narrative of poor play pervades is this:
5v5 PDO: 82.29
On ice sv%: .735
he had some insane, insane bad luck that sometimes simply happens over a short stretch of games. Which is why at times the playoffs in every sport are a coin toss.
He has the worst PDO and on ice sv% of any player in the NHL playoffs by some margin. Both are generally proven to be pure luck.

i never said strip the C from Giroux. i said Couts should be the captain. that doesn't mean i think it'll happen. obviously stripping the C from Giroux would be a slap in the face to him, especially after the season he just had.
Is he Captain-worthy? Probably
Should he be Captain? Absolutely not because we already have a great one.
Should he have been given an A last summer over ****ing Filppula? Without a doubt.
And G dragged this team to playoffs. 19 points in last 10 must win games. This talk is bullshit. Coots should probably be the next C but only after G no longer is Flyer.i think a captain should be a player who can lead by example. Couts did that this series, G didn't. if we were in a situation moving forward where we didn't already have one, i'd give it to Couts before Giroux.
but obviously, with Giroux already being captain, it makes it difficult to do any switch without pissing him off and disrespecting him. maybe in a few years when he becomes a supporting player something may happen, but i'm fine with Giroux having the C for now.
