wait what? giroux has done WHAT?
Richards was a leader from his first season

- 2Real


Mike Richards was not a leader. Why do you think both him and Carter were shipped off a half hour between one another?

Once Pronger went down it was Giroux's team. He just didn't have the C sewn on his sweater.

Give it to Emery, at least he plays hard and gives a damn
- BiggE

Good thinking...that C weighs a lot, and he'll be on the bench more than the ice, so it won't hold him down much.

That means nothing.

Mike Richards was a terrible captain, who just happened to be a very good player while he was here.

Claude Giroux, man--he carried that team in 2012. He had all the makings of being a good captain, and still does, but boy he needs to shape up ASAP.

the lack of goals, while it sucks, it happens. slumps occur and once youre mired in one it seems to become a self fulfilling prophecy. however, if youre going to be a top guy and a captain, he needs to find ways to contribute in other ways on the ice.

richards would fight and mix things up when he wasn't scoring
giroux? just gives goal to the other team

And that's why I think he needs to sit for a game just to remind himself he still has a duty of playing a complete game.

The only way the Flyers truly get themselves going is when Giroux finally breaks out. Until then, forget about it.

Glad Cheif has the Flyers playing a defensively responsible game . Now they suck and they are boring.
