Such a monster. It's clear now he's gonna win Conn Smythe and Flyers will steamroll through playoffs and humiliate ECF in finals. Nobody can stop Flyers now!
hey, can someone tell me why giroux fell to only 23rd in the draft? also, can someone sum up his skillset in a pithy paragraph? thanks.
1. He was really, really small when he got drafted. I think around 160 lbs, if I'm not mistaken. He was skilled, and shot up the rankings pre-draft, but some people didn't know if he was big enough to be an NHL regular.
2. Skillset: Amazing offensive acumen, high hockey IQ, elite vision/passing, solid wrister and solid defensively. Heart of a lion too...very determined player.
I have to say that from a Pittsburgh view, I was slightly jealous of his and Couturier's plays last night.
I have to admit i'm enamored by Schenn, Couturier, and Voracek. It pisses me off to no end that they turned Jeff freakin Carter into Voracek+Couturier, and Richards into Schenn+Simmonds. Couturier is Jordan Staal when he cared about defense. God it makes me mad because they're going to be a pain in my ass for a long time.

It will be alot of fun for years to come to watch these two teams battle. I just wish we were playing with a full deck. Man do I miss Pronger.

I remember when Homer made those moves...especially the Jagr one, people thought we were dead this season.
Little did we know, we traded 2 frat boys for some of the best upcoming stars in the league.
And Richards and Carter both ended up in LA together....everyones happy

From the Prospect board.

Despite making Gatineau as a walk-on and scoring 100 points as a rookie, no one was sure if he was "the real deal". His speed also wasn't great.
Thanks Mono you also gave us Couturier at 8. From here on out I declare the Flyers shall draft all players with Mono.
