The Giroux I see playing out there is not slow by any means.
- MJL

I never said he was slow, I said he's not quick, as in he's not Nathan MacKinnon quick or fast, if you will.

You insinuated to another poster that expectations of Giroux are not right and the reason you gave is his skating. His skating is not an issue in any way. In fact, his skating stood out to me. He seemed very quick.

He's not playing great but he's skating very well.

Yup, his skating has stuck out in these last 3 games. More so the first 2.

Flyers way to slow in general. As we saw they were hemd in their own zone for the most part in the playoffs, by 2 faster teams in Habs and Isles

LOL, that is like saying, he isn't tall, as in he isn't Yao Ming tall. Or, he isn't strong, as in he isn't Larry Allen strong...

He has three assist in three games, he's plus two and when he's on the ice they're controlling the play more so than not, what are your expectations of a 33 year old player who was never quick to begin with but is even slower now?
- DraftandDestroy



Wait he wears the " C " right? Maybe be more of that than a 3rd line player. I dislike G and the incontinence play. I understand not everyone will share my thoughts on this. I have said it before and will say it again. Flyers will not a CUP with G as Cap of the team

Where did you see this ? There was no morning skate and I've seen nothing reported.

Nak was fined

Speaking of Aube-Kubel. As a young, energy fourth line player, I’m happy with him. As a physical presence, I’m so disappointed in him. Maybe I was expected too much but I was hoping to see more hits from him or being allowed to stir the pot. I think that’s what the line up is missing.

I think I missed this punch that is being spoken of.

IMO, it was a pretty blatant punch to the nose, no room for that stuff. I would not be surprised if he gets run every chance we get tonight.

Oh please there was no wind up. Comments like these are from someone who has either never played a contact sport or wants to eliminate hitting all together. It was stupid. But absolutely no reason for a suspension. The fine was just right.

Not ideal, I know, but not much to choose from.
