Is it Reimer for you guys? I see that he's been lights out of late.

Also, good to see Lupul playing well. My Flyers #15 Lupul jersey says hi...

- Hextall271



yes he has been recently, but hasn't been the same since he got the elbow to the head.

Wow did not expect this out of Lupul this year.

Dont talk like that about Giroux. He shan't be criticized.

Disagree. He has to play better and bury his chances.. He will however.. gotta love the Dog days of winter in the NHL season.

I always thought he was a very good player for the Flyers. He had a rep as a partier, but whatever, so did everyone hahaha

For those interested in seeing the outdoor Finland-Russia game (Oddset Hockey Tournament) from Helsinki Olympic Stadium today, the link will be at http://www.sportlemon.tv/v-2/16/48/v-364877.html

Unfortunately for Flyers' fans, Niko Hovinen will be backing up Ari Ahonen in goal today. Former Flyers defensemen Lasse Kukkonen and Ossi Väänänen will be in the starting lineup for Finland.

Nikolay Zherdev, who has been on a scoring tear in the KHL since New Years (minus a three-game pointless stretch), will play for Russia.

It was sarcasm. Giroux should have had about 10 goals over the past 5 games... yet he cant hit a (frank)ing open net. Some how, because started the year on a tear, and is still in the tops of the charts in points.. he cant be criticized.

Tell me this is not a staggering statistic.

First 32 games: 17 goals, 28 assists, 45 points, +8

Last 17 games: 3 goals, 12 assists, 15 points, -12

I will rip on any player if/when they deserve it.

I couldn't like a player more than I like Giroux but he's been a fiasco the last little while as you've pointed out. He's far from the only one.

Good thing is the Flyers have been pretty close to a .500 team the last while and they've been playing like crap, time to turn it back up.

It seems that Mr. Clement is sick and seminar has been cancelled. Now she will never be motivated enough to make me a sandwich.

It's typical regression to the mean. Were we really expecting a 115 point season from Giroux this year?

no, but I expect more than a 14 goal pace...

Giroux is more than capable of playing at a 20-30g/50-60a pace....
