Claude Giroux arrested, released without charges; NHL unlikely to get involved

[peacepipe]

The Flyers Facebook group is rife with people questioning Giroux today/yesterday.

That place really is the armpit of the fan base...so many stupid people and comments are posted

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

Probably not, luckily for Giroux it was in Canada & not here in Philly otherwise he would have gotten his *** beat on top of spending a night in jail regardless if he was white, black, green, blue, etc.

ya philly cop says ''sorry claude, im a huge fan and all but its department procedure''...BAM!! POW!! CRACK!! SOCK!!

Believe it or not there's a good amount of people in this city who couldn't really tell you much about Giroux & definitely wouldn't recognize him in a public setting.

There's a lot of hockey/Flyers fans fans here but that's basically because of sheer population here & the surrounding areas. There's still more people that couldn't care less about hockey or could barely tell you much about it here.

There's a good amount of renegade cops in this city & in some of the more recent events there really hasn't been a pattern of cops & the detainees being the same races. It's been pretty diversitized on both ends so being white really wouldn't help much from catching a beating here from cops. They have been pretty equal-opportunistic in handing them out to their credit.

You get stopped in the wrong part of Camden at night and your white you may get your ass kicked by the cops then tell you never to come back which is a good idea. This was 20+ years ago but it went down. You do dumb things when you are super hammered.

Oh boy. Dry Island here we come!

Dry martini island

 

[RoDu]

does this count as street cred?

 

[The Couturier Effect]

Not sure if this was posted but prepare your brains for some classic Timmeh...

 

[Beef Invictus]

So Timmy is starting to push a conspiracy theory about the wrist injury.


There aren't words in the tongues of elves or men to describe this treachery.

I have a funny story about camden. I went there once. That was more than enough for me.

That was some of the worst writing I have ever seen

There was nothing to celebrate on the day the free agency opened, especially, given the Flyers Cap Salary situation

Timmeh

Sure there was! It was Canada day! What a dumb thing to say

 

[Akanon]

It's amazing how Timmy and other Flyers beat writers still have a job.

 

[Neumatic]

Need to stop giving them clicks.

He's so clueless it's not even funny

More brilliant work by Pinocchio. "Giroux had gone to Ottawa, he's from nearby Hearst".

This is just like his coverage of Flyer games that he obviously didn't watch and just read about the highlights the next morning...It's almost 1000 kilometres to Hearst! It's a 12 hour drive. If you're going to write for a living could you take 10 seconds to verify facts?

Also the fact that Giroux moved from Hearst to Ottawa burbs age 13-14... so Ottawa is effectively his hometown anyway!

 

[Dysentery]

So the Philly sports writer doesn't realize that Giroux works out at an Ottawa gym every summer..classic.

 

[BernieParent]

Apparently what happens in Ottawa gets vomited out by Panaccio.

I actually agree with a part of his article – it was a pretty dumb thing to do for a team captain – but the many, many errors and especially the conspiracy on what "really" happened to Giroux's wrists blow the credibility of this story to smithereens.

 

[The Rage Kage]

He doesn't even realize it's canada day... "There was nothing to celebrate on July 1st, the start of free agency, the flyers didn't win the cup" he's such an idiot

 

[SenatorArmy*]

I only see one solution to this problem, trade Giroux to the SEnators

What about the fact that Giroux also received his $5m signing bonus that day as well?

alright. We'll take Karlsson and your upcoming first round pick

deal?

I was thinking Chiasson, Guptill, Paul & a 2nd round pick 2015

You don't understand. As a player employed by the Philadelphia Flyers, Giroux is not entitled to have a life outside of hockey. All of his free time should be spent working out, practicing, studying film, or charity work directly related to the Flyers. Nothing else. If it doesn't involve the Flyers, he's not allowed to celebrate!

Edit: I also don't get the wrist thing he's hinting at. In what world does accidentally slicing a tendon hint at the possibility of unsavory behavior?

Well, I know the actual story as to what happened (my friend's friend is his cousin who was golfing with him at the time) and lets just say it wasn't quite that accidental....
