I'd go Milky Way before I went with 3 Musketeers.

And if I have to have a 3 Musketeers bar, I prefer it to be frozen.

I might actually forego the candy bar entirely if 3 Musketeers is the only choice. It would depend on how hungry I am at the time of the offering.

I don't like that Giroux has to play a lot on the PK because he's already playing almost 20 minutes per game at ES and on the PP, but his shot suppression numbers are very good.

Not only am i fine with this, but I think it's the proper thing to do. You don't want your best player playing in all situations? I sure do. it's not like this is new territory to him, after all he has been playing in that same role since 2010.

Even Simon Gagne was taken off the PK at some point. Giroux is on the PK due to a lack of options.

Flyers finished 24th last season with a .5121 Points%.

If they lose in regulation tonight their Points% will be 0.5106 after 47 games.

Last season the Flyers PK was ranked 27th at 77.1%.

This year it's 77.7%.

The pp sucks this year. The 5 vs 5 is better.

3.) Butterfinger
4.) Milky Way

I DON'T KNOW. You keep kind of but not really answering it, so I don't know. A simple yes or no for each one would have sufficed, and you keep giving non-answers which has dragged this thing out. Please, for my simple, uneducated mind, stop being MJL AND ANSWER THE (frank)ING QUESTION!

There is therapy available for the kind of problem you have.

I agree with the other poster. I'd much rather see Giroux spending his icetime in offensive situations, rather than having to kill penalties, and taking a large amount of D zone draws just because he's the best faceoff guy.

to be fair, you asked if three players were considered elite in his mind, he replied with a name and no. I think that means that no, he doesn't think that one player is elite...
