It didn’t even take a week, but the Philadelphia hockey media is already on Claude Giroux’s case. Giroux was arrested last week in Ottawa for pinching a cops butt — which, let’s be honest, is about as tame a crime as one can commit. Especially since we all know he wasn’t seriously “assaulting a police…

Our final profile for the Flyers’ 2014 draft class is another Swede, a small defenseman named Jesper Pettersson. Pettersson’s a bit different from the rest of the group in at least one key way — he’s older. He turns 20 on Wednesday, and he’d already gone through the draft process twice (in 2012 and 2013)…
