Gotta get Gio into the second round of the playoffs, guy deserves it. plus brodie-gio is a potent 1-2 punch in a playoff series i'm betting.

Yeah I know what you're saying. I'd be happy to learn Gio's slumping play is due to injury and he's not just playing bad for no reason.

I hope he takes the time off to get well and come back strong. Maybe missing him will be a type of shot in the arm the Flames need.

Then why is he playing? If this is true we dont need Gio gutting it out in November.

If he's that banged up he should just sit out until he's healthier.

If true, sit him out and let him heal up.

It's not like this is a situation where the player at 50% or 75% is better than the 7 guy or that he's actually contributing positively.

Gio has actually been hurting the team. Let him heal up and get a healthy Smid in there. It might not be a bad thing to replace an offensive guy with a defensive guy too, to simplify things on the back end.

I'm hoping for a big Flames win, but if not I hope Stamkos gets a quadruple hat-trick. I have him in my yahoo work pool and he hasn't done much for me this year
