Not sure if this was mentioned, but in the Family Day game, Gio passed his highest ever single season point total, previously 56. Now he keeps building on it. Added another last game, for 58 points in 58 games.
I was wondering if we were seeing arguably the best season ever by a Flames D, which is a tall order knowing that MacInnis was no slouch.
I know that both MacInnis and Sutter had over 80 points, and was curious what their era-adjusted points would have been. Hockey reference had those numbers, if you put any stock in them.
MacInnis in 90-91 had 28-75-103 and +41, and the adjusted numbers worked out to 25-67-92 (also interesting that MacInnis was 27, a more typical prime age)
None of the other seasons had an adjusted point total greater than 75.

Thought it was interesting.
There is a case to be made that it’s tracking to be at least the second best season ever by a Flames D!
Way to go, Gio!
