Claude Giroux

[mounD]

Lol, don't take this the wrong way mounD, but if the Crosby news and fantasy league implications made you cry, your life must be pretty damn good. I lost a friend and co-worker to cancer last week - that's the stuff that makes me cry.

I understand that dude, and I've gone through some pretty messed up, and very saddening things in my life [that I won't mention on this forum]; to clarify something as well, I'm not upset for my fantasy team... that would be silly.

I'm really sad for Sid, himself. When the reporters asked him if it was "frustrating" having to miss more time, you could almost notice Crosby's eyes welling up w/ tears, realizing himself that he's likely going to have to deal with these problems for his career. That kind of thing makes me really sad when someone with such great potential may not be able to fulfill their dreams and expectations for themselves because of personal injuries et al.

I didn't mean to seem catty about my fantasy team. I'll get over that shit tomorrow

Haha, I don't think you need to shed any tears for Crosby man. His life is pretty peachy.

no tears here for cindy.....

goddamn thief.....if he farts he gets a concussion now.....

how on earth did this thread get hijacked?

this is a giroux thread

Speaking of Giroux - diagnosed with whiplash per Holmgren.

I want to say hopefully it's just whiplash, although that can be pretty awful, too. Doesn't sound like he's in too rough shape, but who knows these days.

[blayze]

"diagnosed with whiplash" lol... the bullshit that's thrown around nowadays is comical

That's almost as funny as the bullshit Balysma spun when he said Malkin was out with "general soreness" at the beginning of the season or last week when Crosby had a "knee injury".

[MRIce]

Whatever the real story is, I'm riding Giroux in two big money pools (including the one in my sig) so I hope he's not out long term. The league losing another one of it's best young players is bad for the NHL in every city...period.

[Atomic Wedgy]

Since Giroux isn't gonna play tomorrow, I logged on to bench him for tomorrow. Luckily, its daily roster changes. Unluckily, the only other roster player I have to replace him with is Konopka.

Here's hoping he at least gets into a fight + misconduct for my inconvenience....

Good to hear he doesn't have a concussion...those have been brutal lately.

Any word on when he should return by?

Flyers GM Paul Holmgren updates the status of Claude Giroux:

"Claude reported not feeling very good today. Over the past few days, his symptoms have gradually gotten worse. He will be out indefinitely with a concussion"

[Ballsakic]

Simmons just bumped up to a better line. He plays out of control.

[baumer]

It's confirmed. He has a concussion.
