Despite how pleasantly surprising these 2014-15 Calgary Flames have been, there’s a lot that isn’t quite ideal right now. Being down 0-1 to the Anaheim Ducks in the second round of the playoffs isn’t ideal. Being blown out 6-1 by them also isn’t ideal.
But probably most of all, Mark Giordano not being able to play is not ideal.
Consequences
Not having Giordano around means multiple things:
- The Flames lost their best player.
- The Flames lost half of their top defence pairing.
- TJ Brodie can no longer play on the top pairing.
