If they can put up that kind of performance against top line matchups, imagine what a 2nd pairing of Gio and Brodie could do out there against lesser competition?

Sorry, no. Well I guess Wideman and Russell would be the top pair on half the teams because half the teams in the league don't make the playoffs... They played great down the stretch and against the nucks but were manhandled by the ducks. Wideman's defensive game isn't the best and Russell's offensive game isn't the best either. They played way above their norm and I wouldn't count on that happening again. It'd be a terrible situation if Gio AND Brodie went down because our depth on D is probably the main reason we lost to the ducks. This team needs a big defender who can play the body and still chip in offensively.
