Gio has the offensive D points, the character, leadership and Defensive zone play to qualify as s Norris finalist.
It will be tough to win against a Maple Leaf that will get far more publicity from eastern media than Gio will generate when it comes down to the voting.
Gio at the halfway point definitely deserves to win but unfortunately it could be an uphill battle against some bias voting.
Gio will have to continue to put up more points than Burns. Accumulate both more points and plus minus than Reilly, so far so good.
