Giroux surgery

[awaz]

To fix a damaged index finger. Should be ready to roll in 5-6 weeks which should be before the season.

A golf club shattered in his hands.

Note to humanity, don't root for the teams I root for. They're cursed.

Barring a setback, I'm not worried

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Still sucks this team can't catch a break and when they do its right on the fucking index finger!!!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Dang, talk about about a freak accident.

 

[raptorlife4]

this fucking pisses me off

I am not a golfer, but how in the fuck does a golf club shatter in your hands? This is a solid, metal object we're talking about here and this is a millionaire who should be golfing with top notch equipment. Wtf!?! I mean, I watch golf on tv all the time and I keep track of it from time to time. I've never, ever heard of something like this happening...

I am very annoyed because this extends his recovery from this injury potentially well into the preseason and obviously he is our franchise player.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

I wouldn't be too upset about this. 5-6 weeks is a pretty good recovery time, and I don't think players like Giroux really need to play a full preseason schedule anyways. Will give the Flyers a chance to try out some prospects which is what preseason should be about anyways IMO. Good thing is that this doesn't seem serious, just a slight setback, a setback that Giroux & the Flyers could afford anyways.

I'm more concerned about Sid getting his million dollar smile back. The face of hockey should not have missing teeth IMO.

Claude Giroux of Philadelphia Flyers hurt golfing, out 5-6 weeks - ESPN

I hope this is not a sign of things to come this season.

We all beg to differ on this one.

 

[raptorlife4]

at least he can still skate

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Worst case scenario, Flyers start off slow. I don't think this will be a problem for the team by the end of the season. Good thing for the Flyers they got a lot of depth at the center position.

I strongly suspect there's more to the story. No way he hit a "ball" when it shattered. Probably smacked a tree or the golf cart in anger after a bad shot.

Maybe another team sabotaged his clubs.

Maybe Schenn did so he could get his spot back at C.

Akeson to the rescue probably saved the season. Thats more saves than Bryz had for us.

Akeson should get a shot IMO. He was great for the Phantoms last season.
