Sources have confirmed to CSNPhilly.com’s Tim Panaccio that Giroux is contemplating surgery to repair his left hip and a sports hernia, which will require up to eight weeks in recovery if he chooses to undergo the procedure. According to the sources, the Flyers had been treating Giroux for the issue — which was nagging him all season — to avoid surgery, but the Flyers’ captain is now thinking it’s time to fix things permanently.
Given the timeline, Giroux will be back for training camp, as well as the World Cup of Hockey, if he has surgery before July.
Ah yes, there it is. The annual oh so that guy was actually hurt report. Explains a lot. Not a big deal either. G will be back and healthy before North Shore even closes for the summer.

Well it looks like Joe Younes couldn’t handle it in the radio world. Hey Younes, you Mayo loving Egyptian tub of butter. Pay up you cheese eating whale.
Adam – how is producing the #6 ranked show? Whats next, screening calls for Paul Jolowitz?
Have fun cutting lawns next year while I keep on makin’ that paper….
Heard gfl is killing it with his nba playoff picks
he sucks.
Claude Groulx has a long track record as a winning player. Throughout his career, he has consistently gotten the most out of his teammates and his teams. One of the best leaders in hockey. You are clueless, Jay
Yeah, like his ONE fucking point in the Caps series. Fuck off. HE should go in for heart surgery since he has none….
I’d like to see you do anything but lay in bed crying for your mother with a hernia, let alone play world class hockey.
oh fuck. one point in six games is “world class hockey” now. oh wait…it is for flyers fans the biggest losers and enablers on the fucking planet.
is that you, sarah baicker?
lol
oh and answer this question, hockey genius:
why the fuck in the world start that loser, elite goalie stave mason, in game 3 against the caps when he had a 3.07 gaa in the first 2 games?
why? bc they’re a bunch of fuxking losers, that’s why.
then he gives up 6 more fn goals? that’s a joke, right?
and why doesn’t world class hockey playing captain step up b4 game 3 and insist that neuwirth starts game3?
i’ll wait…
You’re an idiot chuick. Any player playing in the NHL is playing world class hockey, by definition. That includes plugs like John Scott and Dan Carcillo. They are in the top 0.01% of all hockey players in the world.
Some are better than others at that level, and Giroux obviously wasn’t on top of his game. But he absolutely was still playing world class hockey.
when is the last time this site posted something of consequence? honest question.
Why wait this long to decide? They had to know it was an issue and shouldve had the surgeon on-call for when their season ended. The sooner its fixed the sooner he recovers and can get into full-tilt offseason training.
Could be one of a couple of reasons. If it wasn’t hurting THAT bad, he may have been hoping to play for Canada at Worlds. Or he may have had to allow swelling to go down before they could assess the extent of the injury and/or before they could actually perform the surgery.
My baby has a boo-boo!
I have red hair just like G
