Giroux injures the hand on which he had surgery earlier this year playing golf. He'll need to wear a cast for 3 weeks / 4 tendons touched ...

Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose that counts,' probably lost.
And Giroux owners hold their collective breath.

Holmgren issued a statement saying full recovery in 5-6 weeks. I sure hope so, I just traded for him... not to mention the Flyers are in big trouble without him.

I'm just very glad to know that Giroux's surgery was successful which tells us that he still has a pulse.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-pu...013550012.htmlFirst off, it’s good to know it was Giroux’s index finger that was injured. He can live without pointing and laughing; but had it been his middle finger, we can’t imagine how hard it would have been to effectively communicate with other Philadelphians in their native language.

It's nice to see a Flyer's club destroyed by something other than goaltending.

Claude Giroux expects to be recovered from his finger injury and in Philadelphia's lineup on opening night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Update on Claude Giroux (finger) - Yahoo notes indicate he might play in Tuesday's preseason game.
Advice: "I'd love to, that's for sure," Giroux said. "As long as my hand lets me be 100 percent Tuesday, I'd love to play. We'll see how I feel then." There's been some concern that Giroux wouldn't be ready for the start of the regular season, but the odds seem to be in favor of him playing in the Flyers' opener.
Thanks for the update Shoeless, I just hope that they're not rushing it. I would hate for them to get him into these preseason games just to see him re-injure himself before the season opener.
via twitter, Giroux is in tonight.
