Giordano's issues this season are between the ears. If you think it's his prior injury or age, then you are wrong.
Watch 5 minutes of a game if you don't believe me. He's playing just like Hudler in the sense that he does whatever it takes to not take contact. He's scared and making mental mistakes constantly as a result.
That or our system dictates that defensemen should just fire the puck up the ice and give it to the other team while being under no pressure from forecheckers.
