Nobody is arguing that he is Crosby. That's the whole point.
My entire point here is how ludicrous the Blame Giroux movement is. I'm doing this by comparing it to the Crosby Is A Choker movement.
Turns out Crosby isn't a choker, he just needed a better cast and coach. Same is true for every superstar that has ever played. That is how hockey works. Blaming Giroux is stupid.
Well you mentioned Crosby and Gretzky as comparables..
Everybody loves Giroux but the fact is he hasn't delivered like those stars you compared him too. If he needs everything picture perfect that's just not gonna happen.
The leaders of war don't get to blame their soilders for losing.. You have to find a way to win and Giroux hasn't. 4 points (1 goal) in his last 12 playoff games. I could understand if he was lights out and the team failed him, but he didn't play any good himself.
That's the life of being a captain, you take a lot of the credit when things are going well, & much of the blame when it isn't.. especially in Philly
The sad thing is, G is 32 in a few months.. so that supporting cast you're talking about needs to arrive soon
