Daily News | Former Flyers captain Claude Giroux reunited with old teammates and ‘didn’t really miss a beat’
OTTAWA, Ontario ― For the last eight months, all former Flyers captain Claude Giroux has known is change.
When the Flyers arrived in Ottawa on Friday, Giroux reunited with Kevin Hayes, Travis Konecny, Travis Sanheim, Scott Laughton, Justin Braun and Joel Farabee for dinner, according to Hayes. After months of separation, Sanheim said that Giroux slipped right back into his place with the group as they exchanged laughs and memories.
Regardless, he’s trying to treat Game No. 11 on the Senators’ slate just like any other one. The 4-6-0 Senators, a young team with budding stars, including Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stützle, have lost their last four games in regulation. Giroux made a point of trying to keep things light this morning, turning onat the Canadian Tire Centre as the Senators opted to stay off the ice prior to the puck drops .
After all, Giroux never thought he would play for another team until the Flyers’ 2021-22 season went awry. “It’s going to hit me a little bit harder tonight,” Giroux said. “[I’d] been there for a long time. At the end of the day, I have to focus on the game and focus on getting the win. We’re in a position right now, our team, how we need the two points.”After Wednesday night’s 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, coach John Tortorella lamented the effort of some, but not all of his players. He indicated that the source of his frustration is rooted in some of the team’s veterans.
