Roenick, according to csnphilly.com, spoke of the media getting in Giroux’s head and Giroux letting that happen. Personally, I don’t buy into that theory at all. Since his draft day in 2006, Philadelphia Flyers Claude Giroux has been afflicted by a host of different ailments, well beyond the media.
There has been a lot of colourful things in the past 10 years that have affected Claude’s greatness and they all factor in, much more than simply the media or fan criticism. I think he’s become too complacent and this acceptance of failure has worked its way into his psyche.
