I’d imagine that most days for Claude Giroux are good days. I can see him waking up, looking in the mirror and saying some sort of hokey Canadian version of Stuart Smalley’s “I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough” daily affirmation, turning to the chick in his bed and politely asking her to leave, then going about his day further cementing himself as the NHL’s leading scorer.
Yesterday, however, Claude did not have a good day. He had a bad day, in fact.

Your Flyers highlights are after the jump.
