Mark Giordano Olympic Considerations?
Quote:
“If I’m being honest,” he hedged, “I’d say it’s a long-shot. Who wouldn’t want to go? It’d be one of the ultimates. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It’s tough to even think that way, though, because there are so many good Canadian players, so many good Canadian defenceman, to choose from.
Yeah, I guess they do take one or two guys who are playing the strongest at the time.” He squirmed a little, as if consciously willing to not allow his hopes to rise, even slightly. “But . . . like I said, a long-shot"

Quote:
"I’m not,” promised Hartley, “going to start make decisions for the Canadian coaching staff. That’s not my place. Those guys know their business. But from my perspective, if anyone cares what I think, if I have a recommendation to make, it’d be this:
If you’re looking for someone, do yourself a favour and look long and hard at No. 5.”

What do you think his chances are? If he keeps playing the way he's playing, I'd have to think he would at least get a look especially with the glut of right handed D Men on Team Canada's radar. That left handed shot would be a big bonus on the back end. Here's hoping he at least gets a shot he's worked his tail off this season.

He a long long long shot to make Team Canada though.

Celebrated Square Root Day

There'd have to be more than a couple of key injuries during that time frame for this be a reality.

Canada lacks quality left handed D that gives Gio a fighting chance

I just don't see how it's possible.

stranger things have happened...but if he does make it and Canada loses they will blame him and his selection
idiots in this country always blame it one the 13th forward or 7th d-man picked lol
Rob Zaumner, yep all his fault

No chance. He's a good player, and is an incredibly hard worker, but he's no where near the top end for Canadian talent.

He is barely our best defenseman.
