Either Giroux is banged up or the incompetence that surrounds him is really getting to him

What did he say
I don’t have a picture of the quote, but it went something like this:

*Quotes aren’t exact, but they’re close*

Ghost-
Q: Did that goal against DET help your confidence which makes your game better?

A: No. My game is a hard game to play. I have to be aggressive and get in good situations. I was given a good offensive situation that game and it works.

— That quote is saying that the coaches aren’t using him correctly—

Gordon-
Q: Something about Ghosts comment

A: In order to get those situations you have to be competent in your own end. He doesn’t handle pressure and throws the puck/his problem to another player and it just doesn’t work.

Giroux has been mediocre lately. Is it ok to say that.
I mean he’s small. It’s rough trying to carry the organization.

He may have something nagging him. But it’d be nice to let couturier or Patrick do some more heavy lifting for him. Give jvr more es shifts at left wing and take him off the pk rotation for a bit.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that as soon as the coaching change happened, after he messed with the top line, his production dipped.

Defense and systems are a big part of offense too. Both pretty much decide your transition scheme and how effective it is. Our best D is getting the least TOI, our second worst is getting top three usage, and our system is very unaggressive.

Suffice it to say, I’m not surprised.

This is what watching Scott Gordon's Phantoms teams looked like for years. I'm very used to this.

Get outshot and run around in your own end against teams with half the talent we have. Dmen have no pass options and it's just a total cluster****. It's just what Scott Gordon teams look like.
I know, I’m from LV and have complained with you about him for years.
