Reached via email, deputy NHL commissioner Bill Daly doesn’t think the league will get involved in the matter.

“Not really in a position to commit one way or the other at this point,†Daly said, “but based on what we have been able to determine, it does not appear that this will require any league involvement.â€

What the actual ****?

 

[Patrick Division]

Oh boy. Dry Island here we come!

 

[Striiker]

What do you think we'll get back from LA?

 

[sa cyred]

Ok guys. Either we all band together the money to bail him out or we dont have Giroux on our top like this year since he will be in jail.

 

[Sensored]

To be fair to Giroux it was Canada Day. He's definitely not the only one waking up with a hangover.

 

[flyershockey]

The coming **** storm from the Philly media is going to piss me off.

This sounds like a dumb move on Giroux's part.

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

Oh, that Claude.

 

[FlyerSithLord]

The articles that are going to come from this should be fun...

 

[whitstifier]

It's terrible that this will get more press than a DUI arrest.

 

[Striiker]

I'm laughing so hard right now. Of all the things to get arrested for... at least it wasn't anything serious.

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

Someone please tweet panotch right now and tell him that the first slanderous article that overblown the situation is going to buy him a flaming bag of poop on his door step.

 

[theking72]

Oh that Claude

 

[flyershockey]

It's terrible that this will get more press than a DUI arrest.

Yes it certainly will, despite the fact that drunk driving is one of the most selfish/dangerous things someone can do.

As a Rangers fan, Giroux definitely just jumped up in my book. That is absolutely ****ing hilarious.

 

[Willis88]

offseason super hero

 

[Alchemy]

What the actual hell?

I hope the officer was a female.

Wow. It wasn't. Giroux had to be hammered.

 

[Striiker]

He knew that we were bored with the offseason and uneventful FA. What a captain, taking care of the fans even after the season.

 

[markzab]

This is hilarious.

 

[YEM]

um...grabbing a male police officers buttocks?

 

[Striiker]

What the actual hell?

I hope the officer was a female.

nope, male officer

which probably makes this better for him

 

[Willis88]

at least he didn't beat up a cab driver

 

[whitstifier]

What the actual hell?

I hope the officer was a female.

Wow. It wasn't. Giroux had to be hammered.

That would have been very bad.

 

[Alchemy]

That would have been very bad.

True but he looks pretty gay groping another mans ass.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

This is the best and worst thing I ever heard.
