    Claude Giroux is the best player in hockey

    Comes out and smacks pussy ass crosby in the mouth, sets the tone immediately and then scores the first goal. Penguins never had a shot today and the best part of watching this series was seeing a 19 year old rookie take malkin the retard to school. Refs did everything in their power to make calls against the flyers all series long too but we still kicked their asses. We got 5 rookies on this squad so the future looks bright and some cups to come, maybe even as early as this year since our nemesis the rangers are on the ropes.

    Top 10 at best. Cups to come? Win one just one first, kid. Settle down you need 12 more wins, Ace.

    He will be the best...not sure right now, though. Turning into a great series, from a standpoint of someone who is not a flyers/ penguins fan.

    If Detroit offered their entire team for him the Flyers still wouldn't trade him.

    Detroit buried you assholes both times they met. Detroit was bange up in the loss but ask Jakub how that game went. Settle down, Datsyuk is 10x the player Giroux is and anyone with hockey knowledge would know that. You're ignorant if you actually think that. If and I mean if Flyers win, they will have salary cap issues. Blackhawks part 2.

    Fukk off with your bullshit. Flyers still have a way better all-time winning percentage.

    I'll say it again, Detroit can offer their entire team and the Flyers still would not trade Claude Giroux.

    Pavel Datsyuk?

    The guy who just put in that huge 3 point effort in the series vs. Nashville where they just got eliminated in 5 games?

    The Flyers and wings actually split this year "asshole" if you guys buried us how did we win? Also don't act like the Flyers haven't had there fair share of injuries this year.

    You win, bro. You know more about hockey than I do. It couldn't be that a goalie wins series or that Detroit outshot them 42-25. Nah. I wouldnt want that awful Conn Smyth winner Zetterberg either, he is terrible. Go pinch your pipe. You're comparing Detroit to Philly is like comparing the Mariners to the Yankees. They are having a decent year. I guarantee they get knocked out.

    Excuses, excuses.

    Again, fukk off with your bullshit. As an organization, the Flyers win at a much higher percentage than Detroit and you bitches already got knocked out. First round exit.

    Zetterberg?

    Yeah he was awesome with that huge 3 point series vs. Nashville.

    Refs against Flyers? You seriously have to be blind.

    Giroux is a nobody. Win a cup, Win Hart, Win Art Ross, Win Something, Maybe start with scoring 30 goals first.

    Flyers dive and embellish everything while the stupid refs eat it up. NHL is such a joke.
    Cheap shots to the head barely get noticed while they call every two hand touch.


    I had turn the game off after the 1st period, basically unwatchable. Quick whistle when Pens score with shoving on the goalie while the same play gets no whistle for a minute on the other end.


    True late steam at Pinnacle and Pens had no chance today.

    Your fukking retarded man just like you thought you were the dunk expert, timmonen got a game misconduct cause he fought crosby last week and timmonen never fights. They called every little thing they could if anyone touched crosby or malkin the whole series except for the first hit to open the game today and i was shocked they didnt blow a whistle, your the dumbest fukk on here douchebag.

    Ask Crosby how much of a nobody he is.

    You must be another butt-hurt penguin fan.

    Giroux might be the most untouchable player in the league.

    A 24 year old with unlimited potential.

    Anyone who knows even a little bit about hockey saw this coming 2 years ago. Giroux will be a great player for a long time if he can stay healthy.

    how 'bout it-

    wish i could pull out a few quotes from years ago....but nah, this sbr hell hole keeps track of your numbers of posts, just NOT the ACTUAL posts

    ignore all the chit talkers, they know how to bet hockey (notice i lay no claims to their win ratio) and thats a bout it if they cant see the talent he has (not to mention pure stats)

    Calm down cowboy. We got somebody 2 years younger who might think differently. Potential's a dime a dozen, I'll take production.

    Winning is a team effort not an individual one, idiot.

    We're talking about the best player in the NHL.

    You said he was top ten at BEST.

    He is easily better than top 10.

    That's the argument.

    Stamkos is a better pure goal scorer than Giroux but that's it.

    Claude is a better all-around player, especially on faceoffs and defensively.

    Statistically, this season, Stamkos only had 4 more points than G but he played all 82 games and G missed 5.
