That's a big loss. If he's gone long term we can probably call it on this season.

I hope he's ok. Great leader. Great player. Great person.

Maybe he takes a page from TJ Brodie and comes back a new player.

If he's out long term, should establish the Flames as sellers.

Flames aren't winning games with him anyway.

I 100% agree. This isn't a team that's suddenly going to figure things out without Giordano in the lineup. They aren't going to rally and fight without their captain. Tkachuk can only do so much to drag the team into games.

Gio is the heart of this team, and with him they barely have a pulse most nights. Take him out and they would literally be the energy level of fungus in a petri dish.

Stick a fork in 'em. They done.

Maybe we'll get a Sportsnet special out of it

It'll be TSN since Sportsnet will dump Flames at season's end.

Problem with this injury is I think the team is even less likely to trade a UFA dman now.

The players show about the same amount of emotion, as our coach does.
He needs to go.

Meh, he has played like crap this season. Hopefully he is okay but the Flames won't be missing too much.

And then Treliving is an idiot and this franchise is doomed until he's removed.

Desperately trying to get this team into the playoffs, when they've clearly proven for over a calendar year that they would not be able to raise their level in the playoffs to be competitive enough to even win the first round (against a likely high seed at that), would indicate how short sighted the vision of this franchise is, as well how delusional their belief is.

This isn't a one piece away fix. This is a retool at the minimum.

Harsh words. But yeah, I get what you’re saying. I agree. I hope he gets better soon

Crap is a strong word. Don’t agree at all.

He remains the best D and leader on the Flames.

The team is lacking in both areas.

The Flames would miss him a whole bunch.

On paper, absolutely. Hope it’s not serious.

But sometimes a struggling team needs a kick in the rear. An injury to a key player forces other guys to step up. Nobody wants to see anyone get injured, but some fresh blood and increased ice time could shake things up a bit. Things are stale right now... just look at the forwards.

One player from the San Jose Sharks just told me he heard Giordano say he "tore his hamstring."

That looked really ugly. Hope it looked worse than it is.

Valimaki, come on down.
