Personally I think Gio needs to be off the PP. He has caught my eye on so many occasions lately, and for the wrong reasons. He gets a pass around here for some reason. I think his defense is outstanding, but his IQ on in the offensive end... Every time I watch him, he shoots the puck into the opposing player, it never gets through anymore. If it does, it's way wide.
The whole team, not just Gio, act like they have a grenade on their stick, they get rid of it because they have no patience with it and throw it blindly away. It's looks they are never facing the right way to make the next play, have their backs to everything or are looking into their feet because someone gave them a terrible pass.
They also constantly try and pass to the guy who has an opponent within 2 feet of them instead of the wide open guy on the other side of the rink. Their decisions with the puck are terrible and followed up with poorly executed passes to boot. Just watch for all of these things next time, you should be able to see them all on one powerplay.
