Been saying this for years, not that we need Getzlaff, but we need a Getzlaff type, a big, dominating guy who can really bring it on the ice, who HATES to lose, and who won't put up with any mediocre efforts from his team-mates. This is where Iggy fell as a Captain - he lead by example, but didn't really kick any ass in the locker room (Rhett Warrener has said as much), and I feel like Gio is the same, a good guy, a hard worker, lead by example sort.
The team has been mediocre and inconsistent, and that's been... allowed.
