Gio had an injury last year and the Flames won 5 of those 18 games. He was 6th in D scoring with having missed those games and would have been 2-3 in D scoring, pro rated if he played a full season. He was something like +12 on the lowly Flames last year. Definitely should have been in on Team Canada and Norris talks last year and the injury was very bad timing
Brodie has grown and impressed tremendously, and for all of the admiration Bouw got for his skating, which was great, Brodie's overall game is darn steady
These guys are better than the team record of last year would suggest and we are fortunate to see it game in and game out.
Like when Iggy led the league offensively on a non playoff team, you have to appreciate the bright spots, and these guys are good
