I'm hoping for a Rookie of the Year scenario with Gio, where his arm injury inexplicably turns his slapshot into an absolute howitzer, twice as fast as Charas, leaving opponents diving out of the way and blowing the goalie back over the goalline with the puck embedded in his helmet ala Fulton Reed.

Then in game 7 overtime of the Stanley Cup Finals Giordano is hauled down on a breakaway by a jealous Chara, landing hard on the same arm and popping it back to it's proper spot, which unbeknownst to all, negates his newfound power.

On the subsequent penalty shot to win Lord Stanley, Giordano winds up as the crowd braces and Gio unleashes an absolute muffin, fooling a stunned Tuukka Rask, floating the puck in past his over-eager glove. The Saddeldome erupts in joyous bedlam as Rask snaps, breaking his stick over the crossbar before scooping up Gaudreau in his catchers mitt and scaling the glass like a rabid King Kong.

Or, Giordano turns out to be just fine and plays Friday.

Either option is fine.
