Injury Report: Giroux: Lower body injury, reported as ankle or foot (played Nov. 19)

[Adam Warlock]

Been following Twitter all day...and I must say, I never considered myself an Eskin fan but seeing him humiliate the Flyers beat writers was priceless. Timmy and Carchidi have not shut up for hours...they are clearly pissed off (especially bc both of them were dissing Eskin earlier).

If G and Laughton play tonight I will be so happy. If anything, all this chaos led to Laughton getting a shot...which he deserves.

This is the reason we all love Giroux... most players would just go 'ah well, I'll sit these games and be ready to go on saturday'... not Claude.

I read on Twitter that the Eagles & Flyers use the same doctors hence why Eskin is usually pretty good with injury related Flyers news.

I think giroux wanted out of that "team event" with the fans and faked an injury and now he is good to go. smart move claude smart move.

After all this drama it seems like it's similar to when Akeson blocked a shot in a game earlier this season, but was fine in a couple of days.

Was reported Akeson was gonna take G s spot on 1st unit, any chance he gets a shot to run the second unit if G plays ?

Is she breaking up with me or not?!?!

Doubt it, things will go back to normal which doesn't have him on the PP.

Injured? Me? lol

Bob McKenzie says it was a blocked shot that Flyers originally feared broken foot. Hextall must REALLY want to mandate skate guards. Unreal.

If that is the case, id make every player put those plastic covers on this is getting ridiculous and it all started with JVR and that injury led to his trade.

 

[Curufinwe]

I thought they all wore them in practice. I guess not.

Carter before that as well! He actually wore skateguards (I think he was one of the first it the NHL to) for a while but now does not anymore, Doughty wore them for a while as well but has taken them off as well.

Hextall/Berube can't mandate gear in games, can they be mandated in practice?

 

[Curufinwe]

It's more important that they all wear visors in practice. One unlucky deflection and there goes an eye.

 

[Appleyard]

I think the whole injury thing was a cunning ploy by Giroux:

He got fed up of the Flyers icing ~2 AHL forwards each game.

Feigns injury knowing Laughton is the 1st call up option.

When Laughton is sure to play phones the staff 'I'm fine now.' Knowing that Laughton will outplay half the forwards on the roster making it hard for them to send him back down.

 

[Curufinwe]

That would be great.
