It sucks that Gio is out. It was a dumb play by him but it does seem odd to be suspension worthy in light of other non suspensions we’ve seen. My problem is more with why weren’t others suspensions than complaint that his was.
Backlund I do hope is back soon. Concussions are so random. Do we even know he has one or is he just in protocol? Would be nice to have an update. I really do want to see how Jankowski and Ryan step up here. Curious to see how the new second line performs and what he can do there. I would guess the fourth line is not going to get a lot of ice time these next 2 games. Probably 6-7 minutes tops.
