Giroux was debatable MVP of the league multiple times, can’t say that about the other two. Spare me with the team success and international play, irrelevant
- ClaudeFather


I don’t see a debate between kessel and giroux tbh. G takes that. Kessel has two cups as supporting cast. When he was the man in Toronto he was terrible. The guys claim to fame is avoiding going into corners to avoid getting hit and therefore setting the record for consecutive games played. G gets a bad rap imo. He is an exceptional player who we just didn’t give enough of a supporting cast to.

They are Not even in the same category.
The only thing Kessel has on giroux is the amount of hot dogs he can shovel down his throat. When it comes to hockey Roo puts him to shame and that's not me wearing orange and black glasses.
As was said, Roo had votes for the hart trophy for several years. Roo just never got rh help that he needed

Exactly. Kessel has 97 more goals and 13 more points in 188 more games. I don't think anyone in their right mind would say Kessel is a better player, or ever was. But to say they aren't in the same category is not exactly fair.

Toews: Conn Smyth, Selke, 3 Cups as top 3 player, elite defensive player and phenomenal in international play. Toews is better. Giroux and Kessel are debatable so we’ll have to disagree.
- Minnyhock

Yes Claude Giroux is better than Jonathan Toews. Good for Toews for being a large piece to the Black Hawk dynasty but as the players faded for that team, so did he. Giroux has never faded.

The only player in the 2006 draft class who might take Giroux’s spot as second best player isn’t Phil Kessel or Jonathan Toews. It’s Brad Marchand. I give G the edge because he was a center most of his career and could have won the hart twice.

Maybe that’s why Provy is not playing he said “all of a sudden I have intestinal issues I have the squirts”.

They're horrible. Black lettering on dark orange background on a black jersey. Who thought of this arrangement? Fire them... but then again, it's the Flyers who reward incompetence in every way.. even jerseys.

The squirts are a serious problem in hockey pants. Maybe he took a load of Imodium to shut it down... just sayin

Anaheim announcers talking about the Flyers and what Torts is doing and their young players like it’s something to strive for

I was under the impression he was referring to the rainbow "pride" jerseys they were wearing for pride night. I've personally never seen them before.

Wow, that was about as static a 5 on 3 that I have ever seen.

But then Hayes gets a 5 on 4.

Hayes a horrible pass and then he redeems himself with a great shot. Typical Hayes... horrible and good at the same time.
