[Tkachuk4MVP]

Looked like he got cut by Faulk's skate around the achilles area. Had to be carried off the ice, didn't look good.

Didn't even carry him to the Philadelphia locker room. Brought him straight to Carolina bench, which was closer.

 

[PALE PWNR]

This is awful. I feel sick.

I have said this every time a player gets injured, but this didn't happen before RBK came out with those super thin socks. Can't believe the league hasn't changed them.

If they can make kevlar socks for your feet, they can make kevlar socks for your leg. Get with it.

He's got to be cut pretty bad. Really praying this isn't as horrible as it could be.

 

[Striiker]

Looks bad.

If he's out for serious time then Philly is a serious contender for a top 3 pick. Giroux and Voracek were COMPLETELY carrying this team. You may think I'm exaggerating, but I'd be surprised if we win a single game without him.

 

[HanSolo]

Rough. Good year for him brought to a halt.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

This is awful. I feel sick.

I'm not a Flyers fan but Giroux is my favorite player, so I felt sick watching that as well.

That's horrible, I love Giroux.

I believe those are called "stockings".

 

[Stad]

Damn, that's horrible. Hopefully he'll be alright.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I didn't have a good view of what happened from my seat, but G was on the ice for a good 30 seconds before having to be helped off.

Here's hoping it's not as serious as people are saying it could be.

Those exist, players have to actually wear them, though.

I mean the actual Flyers socks. The ones that go over their shin pads. Kevlar them up.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Ugh. Hope it looks worse than it was. I can only imagine the amount of pain he must be in.

 

[systemsgo]

Damn, that's not good. Hope he'll heal up well/not be as serious as it appears to be.

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

Yikes. Those injuries are brutal. Hopefully it doesn't end up being as bad as it sounds now.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Aww man. He's one of my favorite players.

They showed a replay and it looked like he was cut closer to his calf than to his achilles.

 

[Sombastate]

I hate my life right now. 2015 sucks

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Hate to hear this even as a Pens fan. No one wants to see a star go down in the middle of a good season.

 

[Claude28Giroux]

i am devastated

 

[pacehimself]

ugghhhhhhh. The "c" is cursed for this team....freak injuries and concussions come with being the captain of the flyers...

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

That is so unfortunate. Feel bad for Philly.
