Yeah, that's what I'm asking. I can't find too much on Moscow Dynamo, certainly no icetime stats. I'm wondering how anybody knows what kind of ice he got, and if he played special teams. Where did you guys get your info?
When I look for his stats I see he played 50 games, with 4 goals, 9 assists. Nice to see in 9 playoff games he had 1 goal, and 6 assists, good for 4th in points for his team. Looks like he showed up for the big games.
Markov played 29 games with 4 assists. So if they were the top pairing who was Giordano paired with for those other 21 games?
Interesting to me are the PIM's he put up. 89 minutes in 50 games, and then 35 minutes in 9 playoff games. Mr. Bean develop a mean streak?
I like Giordano, I know he was a little panicky in our zone on occasion, but what 22 year old rookie isn't? I'm glad he is back especially if it means I don't have to see Anders in a Flames jersey anymore.
There will be defensive gaffs I'm sure, but I can understand them coming from a 24 year old second year D man more then from a 10 year vet who continually makes "rookie" mistakes.
