Flyers use emergency callup for Giroux

Claude Giroux has been confirmed as an emergency callup for the Flyers and will make his debut Tuesday against Ottawa.

Hopefully he will be the spark the team needs. They are on a 7 game losing streak after losing back to back games to MTL this weekend.
Simon Gagne, Joffrey Lupul, Steve Downie, and Tolpeko are all out with injuries.

Giroux was drafted 22nd overall by the Flyers in the 2006 entry draft.
This coming only two years after Giroux was passed on for the OHL draft and instead entered the QMJHL undrafted.
He has since went on to amass 120 goals, and 183 assists for 303 points in only 179 games.
EDIT: Rumors now say the Flyers might not have qualified for emergency status.
If Giroux doesn’t make it up, it looks like Stefan Ruzicka will replace him.

    I liked what I saw in Claude Giroux at the recent WJC.

    He might turn out to be another offensive weapon for you guys.
    Good luck, and PLEASE beat Ottawa! :p
