It is February 19, 2008; the political thriller Vantage Point starring Forest Whitaker, Dennis Quaid, and Matthew Fox is the number one movie in America and you could pay $7 to see it; Michael Nutter has recently been sworn in as Philadelphia’s 98th mayor; and Claude Giroux makes his NHL debut against the Ottawa Senators. He plays 9:27 minutes and does not register a point on the scoresheet. He is on the ice for one goal against. Despite goals from Kimmo Timonen and Scottie Upshall, the Flyers lose to the Senators 3-2.
I have no recollection of this game.
