Wow. Lol.

[André]

Well he doesn't top Johnson. Imagine ruining (partly) what's looking like a stellar career stepping out of a golf cart.

when his golf club shattered

Did he smash it on the top of the cart?

[meow]

"Golf club shattered" is the worst lie in the history of the world. I guess they can't say drunken bar fight, though.

@6ErikJohnson: Hey @28CGiroux, don't worry it happens bro. #buddies

[Penspal]

The hockey gods do not approve

[shoeshine boy]

Since making his debut in the 2007-08 season, he has totaled 91 goals and 199 assists over 333 games in six seasons.

I didn't realize that his goal totals were so low. I realize he's just now entering his prime and maybe I have unrealistic expectations but I would've thought he would score a goal more than once every 3+ games.

[Idoit40fans]

He's been at 26 goals per 82 games over the last 3 seasons. He was low goal scoring in his first two. During that time its 35 goals per 82 pace in the playoffs.

[Letang Is The Truth]

they said the shaft exploded and tore a ligament in his hand. sounds like he got pissed and tried to smash his club on something

[GSdrums87]

Yeah well all those exploding shafts were bound to get him eventually.

[Penspal]

Yeah well all those exploding shafts were bound to get him eventually.

And for those of you who don't get this....

The Dude: Obviously, you're not a golfer.

Bruce Garrioch ‏@SunGarrioch 15h According to @jfplante_Droit Claude Giroux severed four tendons in his finger while golfing at Camelot in Cumberland.

[shmenguin]

Seems like more than a 5-6 week injury. Let's hope they rush him back too early.

[meecrofilm]

Apparently it's because he sucks at golf.

Read: I got pissed off and snapped my driver.

[columbia]

Is it possible to shatter a golf club, when used in the intended way?

[MRandall25]

It's very hard to do unless you intend to break it.

Only thing I could think of would be a hidden root or boulder. But, that is rare.

NBC posted this on FB today.

It's that Ginger rage.

Either he really sucks at golf, or he was really drunk. I prefer the latter.

Are they necessarily mutually exclusive?

[Pens Fan Since 1970]

It probably happened at Miniature Golf. He most likely went all Happy Gilmore on the clown at one of the holes.
