FLYERS67 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Just saw on ESPN/NHL that Claude was the #1 star of the Cross Sports PowerRankings which seems to rank stars from all sports. Take a look on ESPN NHL.Heading into the NHL playoffs, the Flyers-Penguins series had the potential to be an all-time classic, and so far it's delivered -- well, unless you're a Penguins fan. Leading the charge for Philadelphia has been 24-year-old center Claude Giroux, and he takes the top spot in this week's Cross-Sport Power Rankings.After being held scoreless in the Flyers' Game 1 win, Giroux busted out with three goals and three assists in Game 2, setting a Philadelphia franchise record for most points in a playoff game. He followed that up with a goal and an assist in Game 3, putting the Flyers on the brink of a sweep over the favored Penguins.Giroux had some help, as teammate Danny Briere checks in at No. 7 in the rankings, giving the Flyers two of the three NHL players to make this week's top 10.Check out the full rankings below and let us know what you think in the comments section.

PHI Flyers10 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Awesome to see. I'm surprised Jonathan Quick didn't make the list. Just imagine how much better Giroux is going to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
