    Claude Giroux had seen enough once the Philadelphia Flyers absorbed a one-sided defeat to Montreal in the midst of an already tough trip.

    The new captain met with his club for a few minutes Saturday and told his teammates the effort and production weren't good enough from anyone -- including himself.

    The message wasn't kept behind closed doors. Giroux made a public declaration that things had to change quickly. In his first chance to put his words into action, Giroux led by brilliant example.

    Giroux scored 26 seconds into Monday's matinee against the New York Islanders, and added a goal and assist in the second period of the Flyers' 7-0 victory.
