I belive that if he win Cup with us, he will be in the same tier with Clarke.Roo will go down as flyers 2nd best forward all time.

I know you have alternative opinions on the historical perception of Flyers players, but very few outside of yourself would say that Propp or Barber had better Flyers careers than Lindros.

Giroux had to go 2.0 p/gp for the last month to squeak into the playoffs...Ehh. Without those 3, those 3 teams don't sniff the Playoffs. Smart choices.
I don't really have a problem with Giroux not making the final list. There are a lot of great players having great seasons this year. Heck, McDavid and Crosby are two of the best players in the league and they aren't in. Giroux's case is compromised by how good Couturier was. If G was a C on a different line, who knows. Marchand could probably have a case too. No biggie.Ehh. Without those 3, those 3 teams don't sniff the Playoffs. Smart choices.

Dave Isaac had an informal poll on Twitter yesterday, asking where fans rank Giroux among the Flyers greats. I think most had him too low, I said. No. 5 (behind Clarke, Lindros, Parent, Howe).
Isaac said he thinks he absolutely can end up in top 3 and that no player with his peak and prime has ever not made the Hall. Said that he compares favorably with Modano and Sundin (based on era adjustments); that feels about right to me.
