Claude Giroux

[Beef Invictus]

If the C bears no responsibility than what is the damn point of having a C? Just to talk to the refs?

What is Giroux supposed to do? Develop psychic abilities, possess the bodies of his teammates, and play through them like puppets? There's only so much a captain can do or say.

Flyers fans expect way, way too much out of their captains.

To be fair, has Giroux even tried this? I good captain would.

It works for Toews. That's why he looks expressionless most of the time. Patrick Sharp? That's 95% Toews.

 

[1865]

There's absolutely no excuse for a player of his ability to be this ****ing anonymous.

So they can be goalless and -9, too? No thanks.

 

[Embiid]

From synonymous to anonymous

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Good thing for him that he conned the Flyers into handing him that contract before the year started.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Strip the C.

 

[Prongo]

I'll never give up on him. <3 you G

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Roo simply has to give the C up..

its clearly not destined to work out...

its like a awful awful marriage...

 

[AaronTrieu]

If you're not gonna score, don't let your man drive the net untouched in the final minute. Hack his skates off and take the penalty

Greatest long con in nhl history

 

[Cuiff]

The problem that the Flyers have is that they can't trade him with that contract. Its going to be a long 8 years.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Where have you gone, Claude Giroux? Flyers nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

 

[Sniped]

I wonder if he realizes he's playing himself out of Team Canada...

 

[JWEKD]

I wonder if he realizes he's playing himself out of Team Canada...

I wonder if he gives a ****.

 

[StandingCow]

I don't get what stripping him of the C will do. Him being captain has nothing to do with the team's failings right now.

Everybody is out for a single scapegoat when there isn't one... well except for maybe Homer.

I'm holding back but really want to make a joke about him cashing checks etc.

This team has good players. Ask any non flyers fan. This is not the GM. This is partly a player supposedly on the level of Crosby Malkin and OV actually being on te level of a 4th liner with moves.

Nice... Joe started 41 in a 'slump' as well. First month he was average.

56 game streak coming for G.

Ovie did it last year if you're looking for a hockey comparison but things aren't looking too good right now.

I never doubted we have good players, the problem is they are playing like individuals and not a team. Is that the Captain's fault or is that a GM putting guys together that have little to no chemistry?

It has good players but it's poorly built and the offense runs mostly through Giroux at this point.

I don't recall anyone ever putting Giroux on par with the likes of Crosby, Malkin, or Ovechkin. At least not anyone sane. Laviolette called Giroux the best player in the world but everyone thought he was crazy for it.

I think Richards agrees with you heavily.

 

[Striiker]

Holy **** some of you are so dramatic and reactionary.
