Claude Giroux
Claude Giroux (French pronunciation: ​[klod ʒiʁu]; born January 12, 1988) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player and captain of the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers selected Giroux 22nd overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. He has been the Flyers' team captain since January 13, 2013. Prior to playing in the NHL, Giroux played his major junior career with the Gatineau Olympiques of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), where he helped the team win a 2008 President's Cup and earned the Guy Lafleur Trophy as the 2008 playoff MVP. Internationally, he won a gold medal with Team Canada in the 2008 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. Giroux made his debut with the Flyers in February 2008 and joined the roster full-time midway through the 2008–09 season. In 2011, after the blockbuster trades of Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, Giroux took over the role of the club's first line centre. He was the club's top point-scorer in the 2010–11, 2011–12, 2013–14, 2015–16 and 2017–18 seasons. In 2012 and 2014, he finished third in the League in point-scoring. In 2018, he finished second in the league with 102 points, behind only Connor McDavid.

Florida’s power play resembles Flyers’; Claude Giroux, Panthers fall

Claude Giroux, the former Philadelphia Flyers captain, has seen this before. A power play that is beyond awful; a weak penalty kill that spelled the difference. If Giroux didn’t know better, he probably felt he was still in Philadelphia and not the Sunshine State. Special teams killed Florida in...

Stanley Cup Playoff blog: OTs, playoff Claude Giroux, and an iconic theme

It's inevitable. At some point in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, you're gonna need some coffee. It happened right away this year. The Rangers and Penguins needed three overtimes to decide the opening game of their series. The Penguins needed a goalie switch midway through the second OT, New York netminder Igor Shesterkin made 79 saves — the second most in playoff history — and the longest NHL game ever played at Madison Square Garden ended after nearly 106 minutes, when Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin tipped in the game-winner.

Panthers' Claude Giroux: Practicing Monday

Giroux (rest) took part in Monday's practice session, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. Giroux slotted into a spot on the second line with Jonathan Huberdeau and Sam Bennett after having sat out the Panthers' last two games. Prior to his absence, the 34-year-old center racked up 18 points in his last 12 outings, including two goals and seven helpers with the man advantage. If Florida makes a deep run into the playoffs, the addition of Giroux could go down as the best move at the trade deadline this year.

Ranking Stanley Cup-less playoff players: Where do Joe Thornton, Claude Giroux, Connor McDavid, others land?

As the Tampa Bay Lightning celebrated their second straight Stanley Cup championship last summer, my eyes were drawn to one player: defenseman David Savard. He had played 597 NHL regular-season games and 37 more in the playoffs before the Columbus Blue Jackets traded him to the Lightning at the deadline. He walked into a locker room filled with newly fitted Stanley Cup rings from 2020, having never played for one yet in his career -- no pressure, new guy.
