[News] Giordano will have surgery for torn biceps tendon. Done for the season

[AcGold]

There's this natural supplement you can take that increases healing time exponentially. A famous long distance runner snapped his Achilles and was back running 5 weeks later taking this stuff. Maybe Gio is on it too, it's probably the best natural healing supplement there is and would help explain his super natural healing. This stuff

Spoiler!

Was a timeline ever given at the time of injury (March 2)? I read 4-6 months and then 2-3 months somewhere else. If it's 2-3 months recovery that would mean best case early/mid May.

IIRC cup finals wind up 1st week of June.

Lol!

But you're talking about taking a guy that wont have played in months and dropping him into the playoffs.

Putting arguably the best defensemen in the league before his injury back in the lineup when healthy is a no brainer. If they are that deep in the playoffs there is a good chance that there will be more injuries. He would be a difference maker.

I thought maybe you heard something today I didn't. Sounds reasonable, but I guess we'll find out before we beat St Louis in the WCF

Hahaha, yes this best kept secret has been undiscovered in an industry where millions in revenue could be made by hastening recovery time.

Have you looked at the ingredients? It's a small fruit bowl. With a few extras with the faintest of meta-analysis proven benefits in joint disease, certainly not in tendon recovery (Hyaluronic acid, Glucosamine, etc). And Vit E?? For a torn bicep? Unless he's putting the capsule directly on his incisions to minimize the scar (because well all know hockey players hate scars...) that's just thrown in for the buzz-word.

I really hope that you posted this because you work for the company and/or financially benefit from these sales.

No matter how you cut it, he's a better option than Potter.

[DoubleK]

I'm quite ok with how Potter has played.

[cKy]

Well when you only play 3 minutes a game, you better look ok.

Personally, I was going to ask if Gio had been educated on the miracles of colloidal silver.

[Resolute 14]

Something tells me Gio won't be using that powder given the Flames don't employ quacks for doctors.

"Doctors hate him!"

[Senator Clay Davis]

Giordano could cure himself right quick if he just pours some Robitussin on what ails him.

[The Fonz]

Gio has been consuming massive amounts of Miracle Manna Bread. He will be back for game 1.

Either that or Jesus will have sent him a cheque for $50,000. Hopefully the former.

It also says "Vegan Powder". Have you seen how quickly vegans heal? They're like natural wolverines without the adamantium claws!
