These two have been so good and are continuing to get even better together I think it deserves it's own thread. It's worth noting the Sportsnet commentators last night said Gio and Brodie are starting to rival the league's very best d-pairings.
They were lights out last season, and even though it's only been two games this year they look fantastic. The way Gio has developed into such a well rounded versatile defender is nothing short of amazing. With only one full season under his belt, Brodie looks like he will be a top pairing d-man for years to come and is only going to get better. It's amazing to watch the way they both use positioning and active sticks in their own end to shut down the other team's top players.
The Oiler's dismal blue-line really contrasts how lucky we are to have these guys. Both essentially had a goal today (save for that adept tip by Raymond)... how good are these guys going to be this season? Have we seen their best yet or can we expect them to get even better?
Definitely a bright spot on a rebuilding squad.
