No worries, just thought I'd point that out. I hope he comes back soon too; hate to see anyone injured. But that knee looked bad in the replays.
FWIW, I thought Gio was responsible... For a good defensive play to stop someone from cutting into a dangerous scoring position with the puck. As far as the knee goes, it's hard to blame him for a knee-on-knee infraction since his feet were planted and he was pretty stationary. A player with their head up would have been able to avoid that. And as far as the head contact, again... Skating with head down means you're much more likely to get clocked, but even then I thought the brunt of the hit was to the body, with the head as collateral damage. Again, head up means that doesn't happen.
In any case, the penalties assessed during the game were apparently punishment enough. Glad Gio won't be out when the team comes back.
