Dougie has made the occasional mistake, but overall I think they are one of the contenders for best pairing in the league.

I think we've been spoiled by just how dominant our first pairing is. Dellow had an article on The Athletic comparing 1st and 2nd pairing across all the teams this season. #1 so far in Corsi for, 13th in goals for.
Ever since Hamilton and Gio were paired together, they've consistently been top 5, probably 3 in possession. As a side note, seeing how well our first pairing does makes me wonder if we even as Flames fans don't appreciate how good Gio is. He's been the consistent factor with different partners and dominating.
