Konecny expresses true feelings for Giroux in surprising statement

The bond between Travis Konecny and Claude Giroux was highly underrated. Both players were present yesterday when the Ottawa Senators presented Giroux with a gold stick commemorating his 1000 points in his NHL career as the former Flyers' captain.

This was a special moment for Giroux, as numerous members of his former team offered their congratulations, love, and respect while displaying recorded statements on the Bell screen.


Travis Konecny made a surprising statement about Giroux and how he influenced his development as a player and teammate.



Both players were on the same line for all those years and had dynamic chemistry that the Flyers could use once again. After all the pleasantries and the ceremony were over, Giroux went to work and delivered two primary assists to Brady Tkachuk.

The Senators ended up winning the game 5-2.

The 35-year-old right-winger spent fifteen seasons with the Flyers and has played 1102 games in his career, with 329 goals and 675 assists, totalling 1004 points, and he has a +38 rating.

It's safe to say that Giroux will remember this day for the rest of his life.
