I think the idea of the bias is that one terrible vote shouldn't have made it that close. In the clutch and grab era where goal scoring was at a premium, a 50 goal scorer on an eastern team wins the heart with ease. Gio deserves all the accolades he's getting right now. I just think that he has to do something extra special that he wouldn't have to if he was a Montreal Canadian or a Ottawa Senator or a Chicago Blackhawk.
