O Captain! My Captain! Previous reports of Claude Giroux’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Wednesday night Giroux displayed everything you’d want and dream of a man wearing the “C.” Giroux’s compete level was on full display, winning tough puck battles along the wall and throwing his weight around in those scrums. It was the Dale…

Yeah, I didn’t get that one either. Sean Couturier and Wayne Simmonds created the best chance…
