I posted this after a group lunch with Burke last week but he did make some extremely positive comments about Gio. Acknowledged that he is in a slump but his leadership and what he does off the ice is right up there with any captains Burke has had.
Captaincy goes beyond the play on ice and if we look at Gios play as the captain he has been extremely good. Everyone goes through a slump and I have no doubt Gio busts out of his soon. I personally think he is trying to do too much instead of making the quick safe play as he is shouldering the teams struggles.
