Amazing what the addition of a bit of skill will do isn’t it?

I like the puck going below the goal line and the interchange with the forwards behind the goal line and half boards.

Are you taking PRIME Giroux over any of these players in their prime?

Crosby
McDavid
MacKinnon
Ovechkin
Matthews

Is there an elite forward you are taking Giroux over that you can name?

You can’t make a claim. Get it thrown in your face, and then think of a made up scenario. 400 career powerplay points. Shut up and move on.

Like I said you can cry about it all you want...GIROUX HAS NEVER BEEN ELITE. End of Story.

Keeping Rocky was the best off season decision.

Huge to have a legit one-time threat on the right side.

Don't know how a guy can finish top-5 in Hart voting 3-times and not ever be elite, no matter what your personal definition of elite is.

Then the NHL has a lot of elite talent in it.

The fact there is even a discussion about Giroux being elite proves my point how starved the Flyers have been in the lifetime of the organization for elite talent.

Be thankful that you don’t have the Roger’s Canadian feed. Being absolutely homers over the interference call. Still harping on it. This is the new standard for interference bump the goalie when he’s in the blue when the shot is coming and it’s being called back

I would say there needs to be a review on that from Safety, but it's the Flyers so an elbow to back of the head while on the ice is no big deal.

Those Are Franchise players. They are above Giroux. Giroux is still an Elite player. Giroux is 76th in All time points. He is going to pass Pavelski,Nieuwendyk, Hossa, Bossy. Could potentially get in the top 50 depending on how long he plays for. Still put up 60 points last season.

Ok then the definition of elite is something else then. The Flyers have been starved for Mega Duper Duper Elite Skill.

New name, same thing.

I guess the Flyers don't need elite skill....they have Konecny and Tippett. The new Era of Elite.

EDM close to unraveling. Bad penalties taken and frustrating. Flyers just cannot have a parade to the box.

Just checked the boxscore, to get evidence that McDavid is on the ice. I think he got a physiological & physical breakdown after coming so close but no cigar last season.

Yup. But if Rocky gets torched for a no skill PP you gotta give him some love when he gets skill and it works.
