It’s no secret to anyone who follows the Flyers on a regular basis, that Claude Giroux is a vital part to the teams overall success. As Giroux goes, so do the orange and black. Giroux and the Flyers finally broke their 10 game losing streak last night, and Giroux made more Flyers history in the process.

If you ask Giroux if he should be better, he will tell you he has to be better. Giroux wears his heart on his sleeve and always has been a team-first guy. However, the guy is a great Captain of the Flyers, and longest tenured Captain in Flyers history. He has tallied 278 goals, dished out 590 assists for a grand total of 868 points, which is the third most points in Flyers history. What more does the Captain have to do to show people how good he is or has been throughout his career?

Last night, Giroux became the all-time franchise leader in power play points with 334, thus surpassing Bobby Clarke with 333. Giroux continues to move up the all-time stat board in relation to Flyers hockey. He is just aging like a fine wine.

“I think can make this team better. I want to win. I’m pretty pissed off at the position we’re in right now.”– Claude Giroux said at exit interviews in 2021

Its mind boggling that he still fights for respect in Philadelphia when he more than likely (Barring Injury) will move into second place all-time in Flyers points this season. Bill Barber currently sits in second place with 883 points, while Giroux sits with 868 points as mentioned above. Giroux is a great player, and should be more respected for his services as a Flyer, as he enters his last season under contract with the Flyers.

Flyers Notes:

It’s games like last night for Carter Hart why Team Canada is considering Hart to be the starter at the Beijing Olympics.

Hart saved 41 shots on 44 shots faced for a .932 Save Percentage in last night’s victory over the Vegas Golden Knights.
