I think the bigger injury is going to be to his ego when opponents start giving him poop on the ice.

Since the tweet in the Sun article said he was in the cop car at 9:19 pm, it could stand for some chirping .... didn't even make it to the fireworks

I've never made a mistake, ever.

It's time to stop drinking to that excess when your out in public at 26. Just my opinion. These guys live in a fish bowl. P Kane who is younger supposedly has cut out the shenanigans and has gotten even better. Perhaps Giroux could also be even better?

If that's the case, why wouldn't Buffalo trade Ehrhoff for a guy like Grossmann? Wouldn't that save them a boatload of money?

They may have tried to trade Ehrhoff. But the cap recapture issues scared teams away.

Recapture penalties. I think they would be hit with a 10 mil penalty the final year of Erhoff's deal if he retired the summer before.

Agreed, no one over 26 has ever gotten drunk outside of their house before and behaved improperly.

You know where the poop comes from though, right?

They all want G. You know it. I know it. We all know it.

Okay. I'm not sure how the recapture penalties work.

Obviously that was some alcohol influenced judgement. But I would disagree. I have no problem with Giroux going out and doing what I did when I was the same age. Although I didn't grab any police officers buttocks. I did some foolish things also, as most people did. To expect these athletes to not be human is unreasonable. I have no problem with Giroux or any other player going out and having a good time. In season or off season. As long as it doesn't affect their play on the ice.

"Although few details were immediately available, a source said Giroux was arrested for repeatedly grabbing the buttocks of a male police officer. Alcohol is believed to have been involved."

I KNEW IT!

Stupid sexy Flanders.....

Giroux is probably really hungover ,and will really love the reason why he was thrown into the drunk tank

One doesn't stop Claude Giroux on Canada Day.

One only hopes to contain him.

/o wait...

fwiw:

•The Fourth Period: It is believed that the Flyers and Predators have resumed talks regarding Vincent Lecavalier. Predators GM David Poile wants the Flyers to pay a portion of Vinny’s salary, paid out a $2 million signing bonus yesterday, but Poile wants more.

Does salary retention count toward our cap or is it just real dollars?

The butt grabbing to bonus ratio is not linear.

I guess there is a curve to it?

Poile playing it smart so far, but even he will have to cave I would think. Whose left, Grabo? Olli Jokinen?
