Why is no one talking about Giroux?

[Eric Robson]

Look, I dont like the Flyers, but where is the respect for this guy? He has 87 points in 74 games, good for fifth best in the NHL. Looks to be leading his team back into the playoffs. This all coming off one of the worst years he has ever had in the NHL... Where is the love?

Ah I see he's 30. HF ain't interested in players beyond 30. See Kopitar.

 

[CanuckGame39]

Is he still slapping asses tho?

Malkin is 31.

EDIT: Point taken.

 

[Beantown Beatdown]

I'm sure hes getting plenty of love on the Flyer's board.

 

[Regal]

Too many good players this year he's getting a bit ignored. I'm a little surprised his bounce back season isn't getting more attention, but maybe it's a sign of his respect that people aren't too surprised.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

He's a player that's been going under the radar since 2014. Everyone knows that he's one of the best yet no one talks about him. I think it's partly due to the Flyers not making enough waves in recent years.

Pretty much. Very good player on an average-ish team. Having a slightly above average year in relation to expectations, but it's not surprising to see him top 10 in NHL scoring. There's a ton of new faces having notable years, so the expected names don't get any press.

HF don't like him. Imagine if he was European...

 

[MrThomas]

Because Flyers haven't had any success ever with Giroux'

Ah yes individual success will always translate to team success

Yes you are right sir

thats extremely offensive. /s he grabbed the ass he didn't whip it.

 

[Connor McConnor]

He's played extremely well but I think it's a bit of an indictment on him that he needed to be moved to wing so he can free lance and focus on pretty much just offense more while Couturier handles all of tough assignments and is responsible for getting back on defense. He was a 60 pt player last few years at C.

 

[ESH]

I’ve seen lots of talk about Giroux this season

 

[GordieHowsUrBreath]

him or his coach need to claim he's the best player in the game

 

[authentic]

It's because everyone already knows how good he is, much like Getzlaf, Backstrom, Kopitar etc., the usual underrated players. They've been in the league a long time and there's more new playes to discuss that may not have reached their peak yet.

 

[AdamParrot]

90 points.

 

[Laveuglette]

3 assists so far tonight, 90 pts.

 

[TheAngryHank]

1 more point and tied for 2nd.

 

[Analyst365]

He doesn't get talked about because no one is interested in secondary assists.

 

[SI90]

I hate philly too but Giroux is having an amazing season. At both ends of the ice too. He’s stepped up big time this year for Philly.

 

[blinds]

He doesn't get talked about because no one is interested in secondary assists.

Stupidest thing I've heard today.

He's now leading the league in assists and 1 point out of 2nd in scoring. Tied with Malkin at 7th with 56 ES points.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Because it isn't time to talk about Giroux yet.

60 pt player last few years? Naw
