Specious reasoning.
Mark Giordano is a fantastic captain. He does exactly what a captain should do, give it 100% every night and lead by example.
The 2 x Stanley Cup winning coach Darryl Sutter actually promoted Gio from the second pair up to the top pair and started playing him 26-27 minutes a game. That tells me a lot about what Gio still means to this team.
I believe that if Darryl could do it all over again, he probably would’ve made the move earlier. I think the whole “entitlement” term he used the other day was a direct shot at most of the young players on the team along with management for giving the kids the keys to the car too early.
