These players constantly played on, and impacted Flyers teams that were regulars in the playoffs. Giroux isn't even close or in this conversation

This has no impact on me. I never expected, nor expect, a leader to "will" a person to be better I expect a player to play at his best and let that do the talking for them. Lindros was this player. He went on the ice and did what he did best, and others got on board. Mostly because they wanted to, and maybe that's what you mean by , "will". I thought early in his career giroux was this guy. As it unfolded, he looked more to like a professional business level hockey player, more concerned with buying into the Flyers business model. I didnt see a guy who continued to do whatever he needed to, on the ice. I know many will disagree with this. That's fine. But like I said earlier, the guy hasn't left any lasting memories on me. When one of your biggest accolades was a single shift, a decade ago, that isn't much. And honestly, if it hadn't been against the hated Crosby, that shift wouldn't be a memory either

Stupid spell check... Macliesh (sp)

I'm not going to factor in stats, wins, blah blah blah. As a Flyer fan I will go off MY pure emotion. I will remember Clarke, lindros, Kerr, Marlies, tocchet and others based off how they reside in my memory Giroux won't be there. Barring him returning and doing something great, he just had that impact. It's the same with guys like richards, carter, and well, that my point, I have to struggle to remember that list

i guess this like xmas. we just wait to see what presents we get 5lbs of veal. Merry effing christmas1

so, does he play tonight?

If we took Stevie Y's brain, and had it implanted in Chuck's dome, he'd still stick his hand in a moving blender to see if it was working

"if you"re planning on going to the game" ? there are so many things about this tweet that we can lambaste them over

like this?

What exactly is , "playing like a 27 year old "? Is that a good thing, bad thing, or just a thing? Is he a veteran, kid who hasn't matured, or on the down side of his career? I really can't keep up with these age related evaluations. Some one needs to make a cheat sheet

Can I be the model for the cop....me and my dog? He can pinch us both. I'll never wash my a$$ again

i think the subject is being way overthought by many. If Giroux waives, gets traded to a contender, competes for a cup (win or lose, no matter), brings assets back that help the team, then returns.....he will be lauded as a hero. If the team turns it around, in part because of what he did, he will be a Flyer legend. Philly will love this guy forever, but he won't get a statue

all the reasons the front office love him. They completely relate

Join me in denver. I'll buy the first pitcher

I was out to dinner and they had an avalanche game on. My interest was peaked. Denver is only 6 hours north and i fly free Maybe its time

We clearly have no addiction problems in the Flyer organization

the fact that Fletcher thinks he's smarter than anyone else, shows how big of a dumbazz he is

another possibility, Fletcher's head is stuck completely up his a$$

Has anyone checked the ledge on the Walt Whitman? We may find a lineup of current Flyers who can't get the FCK outta dodge

no other GM wanted him

you finally converted us

They dont want toronto to feel lonely anymore

like they already did with the front office

im trading myself to the Buffalo fanbase. I don't want anything in return, thats prolly more than they want to pay
