Claude Giroux went straight to the ice after getting caught by a high stick.
He may not be a Philadelphia Flyer anymore, but former captain Claude Giroux is still a player that lives in hearts of many a Philadelphia fan.
The longtime Flyers captain, who now plays for the Ottawa Senators, was out on the ice for the Senators' loss on the road to the Edmonton Oilers. Unfortunately, during one of his shifts, Giroux took a high stick from Oilers winger Evander Kane.
Although he went straight down in quite a worrying fashion, Giroux wasn't seriously injured and was able to continue playing in the game.
