This isn’t going to help the captain’s popularity.
But then, captains aren’t made captain to win popularity contests with the unwashed masses.
They’re made captain to help the team win games.

Maybe Giroux’s stunning assertion at his end-of-season press conference Wednesday will change the way angry Flyers fans express themselves during games. Maybe pigs will fly.
The Flyers didn’t win any of their three home playoff games against the Penguins. They lost the series, four games to two. The Flyers were often booed.
