Its a clear bias. The NHL is not stingy with assists, but now because it tapped an opposing players stick that is enough possession to be unasissted? Horse****.

this along with nhl radio and nhl network seemingly going out of their way to not even acknowledge Giroux is very very weird. It seems like an agenda. I may come across as paranoid but its a phenomenon i am just unable to explain

I don't think I've ever complained about any media bias regarding the Flyers because frankly I don't give a shit. But this legitimately pissed me off. It shouldn't because it really doesn't matter. But it does.

EDIT:
Also for those who haven't seen it, Giroux clearly doesn't deserve the Hart based on the fact that he's a dirty liar.

How the f*** can anyone, let alone Flyers “fans”, not love this guy?

Reasons to be fearful...

G never wins a cup with the Flyers despite his Flyers HoF career. Just reminds me of Pat LaFontaine with the Isles. Such a productive and prolific scorer but squandered on a team that couldn't get over the top.

Still remember in 2010 how much G had grown by the playoffs.....dude was so crafty. Still is but it was a dazzling and raw craftiness on O......now he is just an all around great player.

After losing in the ECF in 2019, we are winning the Cup in 2020 with Hart in net and Knoblauch at the helm.

Lavy was so great in that run. He recognized that, and would get briere on his line as much as possible, and those two were just brilliant. He got leino with him. Lavy was always double shifting his best players because that is what you do when you want to win......wink wink

Too bad Leighton effed everything up....otherwise G would have had at least 1 cup. The team though caught lightening in a bottle. The flaws started to quickly manifest themselves in the later years.
