Flyers' Claude Giroux sets sights on MVP award
Thats right Philly. As we approach the NHL playoffs, which in my humble opinion is the best playoffs bar none, we are witnessing greatness.
Philadelphia Flyers’ captain Claude Giroux has been white hot. In fact, since December 10th, he has the most points in all of the NHL. This, after he did next to nothing for the first 20 games due to a freak hand injury playing golf! Reports claimed he could barely grip a stick for the first few weeks of the season.
Motivated in part by several snubs by Team Canada during the winter Olympics, Giroux has been playing like a man on a mission, quickly climbing up the scoring charts and more importantly, leading his team to victory. The Flyers have won three straight games, with a home and home sweep of hated division-leading rival Penguins. With last night’s victory against current Cup champs the Chicago Blackhawks, the Flyers now have obtained second place in the division. Giroux had multiple points in each of those games and last night provided the game winner in OT with four seconds left.
With his team poised for the post season and himself now fourth overall in scoring in NHL, a Hart trophy (NHL MVP) is within reach. No doubt Philly is Flyered up!
