Gio's starting to have that aura of being able to take over a game singlehandedly. He did that last night too, tied it at a clutch time.
The other player and time period that reminds me of this was Iginla's play during the 04 playoffs, his first season as captain. He just popped all his cooldowns in Game 7 vs Canucks and went ultimate godmode. Goal #1? Iggy snipe. #2? Iggy corralling a ####ing slapshot/slap-pass and deking it past Auld (I think it was Auld). The OT winner? Rebound off Iggy beastmoding.
Gio hasn't quite reached that level yet, but there's definitely flashes of it showing. In his first year as captaincy too. Definitely an untouchable.
