But, some reports have started to come out that make it almost certain that he is playin...

It’s happening again. The Philadelphia Flyers are relying on Claude Giroux to work some magic and give them a whole lot of a better chance to get into the playoffs. The only thing is that this time, Giroux isn’t actually playing for the Flyers.

And while he didn’t name names, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to determine some of the players he was talking about after the game. “I’m a little disappointed, obviously we got to let it go, we’re still in a position of controlling our own destiny,” Tocchet said after the loss Thursday ...
