I'm still a little surprised folks are voting Gio over Lanny. I was more surprised in the last round of voting that Gio got so many votes.

I love Gio as much as the next guy, but only two years as Captain, (and not even a two full years, and zero playoff games) I don't think outweighs Lanny's accomplishment as Captain, despite the fact Lanny had a stacked team.

In my book, Gio still has something to prove as a captain. He's proven he's an elite player, but it was guys like Mony, Johnny, Wides, Brodie & Hudler who stepped up and led the team by committee when it counted.

Again, no Gio hate here. Elite player in my book. Needs more time to prove himself as captain to be considered better than Iggy or Lanny.
