Giroux

LOL this is the funniest statement ever made. Ken Griffey Jr is one of the best baseball players of all time.

Please in a million years I would be happy if no young prospect was ever compared to Daniel Briere again...That guy is simply a poor excuse for a hockey player and hockeys equivalent to Ken Griffey Jr with time spent on the Disabled list

Giroux has amazing talent. Juniors were so easy for him, he got lazy on D, otherwise he would have gotten more games last year and would have made the team from the beginning of the year. Once he got some NHL experience and got his D/checking game together, he was the complete package. He did what he did to end the year without much powerplay time (that went to Briere when he came back) and was all over the ice in the playoffs. He will be a household name next season and will hit 50 assists, not just 50 points.

Ray33-- Oh yes I know....When he doesnt tear or strain something getting out of bed in the morning....Griffey Jr in my opinion was one of the best baseball players while in Seattle...Once he went to the Reds it was a slow downward spiral

Give me a needle and some magic juice and I could hit alotta home runs too...Home runs anymore really dont do it for me.....Yeah they are exciting to watch but Id rather have 2 or 3 .300 average guys or better on my team then 1 guy who hits the balls 530feet and has 40-60 homeruns at the end of the season (especially since a good amount of homeruns hit arent even in clutch gamebreaking situations) Dont get me wrong as a kid I loved Griffey..Im just saying I think its wrong for the sport when a player sticks around way past his prime just to try and break records...

the poor excuse for a player as you refer to yes he is injury prone but look
at the way he plays for such a small guy who stands in front of the net and takes a pounding.
I'm sure you didn't see carter and gagne in front of the net much
briere in case you missed was still one of philly's best forwards during the playoffs.
the guy's got heart look what he went through to become the player he is
remember just about every team had a crack at this guy in the draft and passed on him due to his size.
you're knocking the guy for his history of injuries and then you make a stupid comparison to Ken Griffey who has hit 600 home in his career.
c'mon buddy get a grip on reality!
