Going with Richards. This team has always been dangerous shorthanded. Richards is a great 2 way forward that can read the play and some one they always need to watch out for. Giroux would probably be next if i had to choose who goes 2nd.

 

[Lehner Fan Boy]

Marian Hossa is pretty unreal at shorties.

 

[Where's Bure?]

Gotta go with Claude Giroux this year. Previously it would've been Richards, and maybe close behind Marleau. Jordan Staal ain't bad either.

 

[esuhock22]

Giroux is a mad man out there when on the PK. Richards has had his chances, but has missed a few shorthanded breakaways. Richards has shown the consistency of being a threat shorthanded, but this season I have to go with Giroux.

+1

I haven't seen Philly play this year, so I can't agree or disagree with Giroux. But 3 in 17 games is hard to argue with.

Giroux is sick.

From what I have seen he is the most offensively dangerous player on the Flyers after Briere.

Giroux will be the best player on that team by 2013.

Man the Flyers are good.

YA I picked them to win it all, but I still get amazed at how deep this team is.

They can put Giroux on one PK unit and have Richards on the other.

Lucky buggers!

That's not even mentioning the D that they can throw out there.

Back on topic, I vote Giroux.

 

[VICE™]

I'm going with Hossa on this one, but I'm also going to toss Rene Bourque into the discussion as well. He's always been solid when he's out there killing penalties and usually ends up towards the top of the list for shorthanded goals at the end up the season.

 

[Bags2]

I'll go Giroux on this one. That guy is sick short handed. Not to say he's the best killer, but whenever he's on the ice a man down it seems like he's looking to score more than anyone else. I'm really starting to like him a lot. I think he's gonna turn into one hell of a player.

 

[esuhock22]

I guess Richards got upset, he just finished a shorthanded breakaway.

I feel like just putting on a Flyers uniform makes you a short handed threat. lol

Yeah. You could probably put Colton Orr on Philly and he would suddenly score 10 SH goals in a year.

 

[nossagog]

Mike Richards has that uncanny knack of reading plays so quickly. He's scary out there on the PK.

 

[Rookie]

Tough call for this one,its a draw between Richards and Giroux..

 

[PavelBure10]

Mike Richards & Claude Giroux for the tie, Alex Burrows is one of those guys too

 

[saim]

hey...
surly
Mike Richards & Claude Giroux

 

[LiAmTrAnSdEmOn]

Gotta go with Richards. He's been doin this since he came into the league but with Giroux getting much more shorthanded time he's definitely proven he can make some dynamic shorthanded plays and might surpass Richards as my choice. Either way I'm glad to have both of em on the Flyers.

 

[charlio lemieux]

Nice to see you Liam.

Yes the Flyers are lucky to have both guys.

 

[Whatamidoing21]

Giroux certainly has the skill that makes him more deadly on the PK than most. But Richards as a few have said reads the play better with his experience over Giroux. In fact Richards was on the ice and assisted on two of Giroux's goals.

 

[Bruins Since Hour 1]

Other - Though every player on this list is undoubtedly dangerous. I believe Brad Marchand is right up there too, He's a talented young speedy kid, who is tied for the lead in Short handed goals. Maybe i'm letting my Bias show, but i believe he is a very under rated penalty killer, glad he's on my team, and hope he becomes a big name player in his career.

 

[swflyers8]

Richards, he is the active leader for scoring 3 on 5 goals. The man is a SH beast.
