Yikes ... what in your eyes did he do?
I think Giordano is a guy that has a lot of skill, but a good part of it comes from his work ethic and refusing to let down. When he gets to the playoffs he's matched in terms of effort by everyone on the ice and with that his game appears to slide.
But the guy shows up. On the ice, in the room, and after if things don't go well.
Not sure you're vitriol is well placed.
His contract was always going to be 2 good years, two average years, and two declining years. The fact that he won a Norris in year three, and by all measures was still a top pairing defenseman in year four is a huge bonus.
