Claude Giroux

[Appleyard]

All time playoff PPG (over 40 GP):

http://www.hockey-reference.com/pla...at=&c4comp=gt&c4val=&order_by=points_per_game

18th in NHL history so far.

Pretty impressive, especially considering the low scoring nature of this era.

He is also 3rd in PPG among current NHLer in the playoffs (more than 20 games played) after Crosby and Malkin. Only 7 current players are even PPG.

But no, he underperforms in the playoffs, and he's not a good player

I thought we established points in the Pitt series counted 1/3?

Actually I think it was 1/4

Now he's a finalist for the Hart and the Ted Lindsay, what a bum, ship him out, etc.

Doesn't count, he didn't have much points in the first few games of the season, shows he obviously has no talent, the fact that he was in the top three is just a fluke! Get him out of the flyers jerseys!!!

 

[Appleyard]

Just saw this and it made me laugh:

2011-12 3rd All-Star team:

Neal-Giroux-Giroux
Lidstrom-Suter
Rinne



Almost better than Ovechkin being LW and RW on the 2012-13 1st and 2nd team.

Giroux feeding Giroux would be an endless chain of passing

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Giroux feeding Giroux would be an endless chain of passing

2 minutes of offensive zone power play position registering 0 shot attempts.

 

[Funf]

Giroux feeding Giroux would be an endless chain of passing

Until he gets the perfect set up, in which case he'd finally shoot and hit the post.

No question he's great at piling up points in the regular season much like Marcel Dionne. G's numbers have to be the most hollow in hockey. For a guy who is supposed to lead, when his team needed him most, he was nowhere to be found. He's a stud on that 16 degree Tuesday night when Buffalo rolls into town playing their 3rd game in 4 nights. Can he duplicate those big games from the regular season just ONCE in a postseason or is all we're gonna get is garbage time goals and secondary assists because he can't shake the Selke nominees that have shut him down since the pond hockey Pens series 2 years ago.

Around the league, leaders and high level players are getting their goals and MEANINGFUL points and CONTRIBUTING shift after shift. Upsets do happen in this league and the underdog can and does have a better day. With G, all we hear are excuses. Are the rest of the leaders and high level players playing against AHLers on their shifts? Other teams game plan around certain players too, yet everyone but our guy is able to get it done. G isn't the only guy getting "special attention" in the league.

Now back to the excuses and stat recitals.

He's one of the only stars in the league not playing with another star. This isn't 1992 where one player can carry a team. Teams collapse on your best player, and they'll continue to do it until someone else on your team burns them. Guess what? Not one player on the Flyers did that. Voracek should have had a field day out there with the way the Rangers were collapsing on Giroux. He put up 4 points in 7 games.

Numbers aren't "hollow" just because you want to pretend they don't exist so your argument would have something to back it up other than ignorant spite.

Sounds like a lot of hollow arguments and ridiculous speculation to me. Why don't you put together some empirical evidence to support your claim, buster.

The people that argue the validity of secondary assists probably have never actually watched a game of hockey, besides the flashing red light going off. A pass leading to a goal-creating-pass is NEVER EVER the reason a goal is scored, right? Get a clue.

Just ignore him, he'll go away.

 

[Clown Baby*]

The people on this board are so irrational and lack objectivity

“Overrated ..........plain and simple. ...and we are stuck with his bloated contract for the next 8 years” (post #31)

“What would his return be? I'm thinking a 1st plus a top prospect” (post #39)

“The problem that the Flyers have is that they can't trade him with that contract. Its going to be a long 8 years.” (post #88)

“09\10 season is what G is. He is just under a point per game player who really does not make anyone better, sucks as a leader and is sitting fat on a nice large contract” (post #129)

Can't argue with that logic.

I find it entertaining when people acknowledge him.

 

[FlyingPhilly]

Flyers need to trade this bum before the rest of the league discovers how horrid he is!!!

This thread has become troll land or something for a few people.
