Can Giordano be the first 35+ yo D since Lidstrom to hit 55pts? UPD: Can he break the 35+ D record?

Is Flames' Giordano the NHL's most underrated elite defenceman? - Sportsnet.ca

*sniff*

Yes he is. The NHL didn't have him in their top 20. Like. I mean. Honestly.

He'll be a norris finalist at this rate. Gotta love the comments at the bottom of the article.. clueless oil fans (non hf) calling him average.

Lol those comments are attrocious yeesh

I'd say anything is possible when you have the best D in the league.

Good one. I bet you’re so proud for typing that

For Darren Haynes" article on The Athletic:

One of these players is not a forward.

A) Gio is sick
B) Minnesota is screwed

Do they have to be 35 to start the season or can they be 35 to end it? If so, Brent Burns will do it next season. Giordano might get it done this year but I doubt it.

He’s already got 27. Only has to go .5PPG the rest of the way to get it. I’d say decent chance he gets there if he stays healthy

Ya our pp alone has a good chance to get him there

 

[Tofveve]

Yes and yes.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Cannot believe he's 35!

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

With 29 pts in 29 games, Giordano has a chance to do something even bigger than hit the 55 point mark.

He has a chance to be only the third defenseman 35 or older to ever hit the 1.00 PPG mark after Lidstrom (2005-06) and Bourque (95-96)

I mean, it's unlikely his pace holds up, everyone slumps eventually, but that'd be a crazy accomplishment

Giordano is a top 5. No question. Name me 5 better... A Norris Candidate.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

When is the last time someone had a career year this late in their career?

Hilarious.

 

[qwerty]

As long as he stays healthy *knocks on wood,* then he should. 26 points in 53 games is very doable for a currently ppg player.

 

[BigRangy]

Hilarious.

I know it might just be attributed to the Vegas Effect last year, but Deryk Engelland had a career season with 23 points, more than he'd scored in any season at any level before in his career.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

52 points in 48 games which is a pace for 87 in 80 (he was suspended for two). Needs three more points to hit 55.

 

[Machinehead]

I was today years old when I learned Giordano is that old

 

[Snakepit]

Yup I think he'll do it. Wow that's incredible

 

[blankall]

Yup I think he'll do it. Wow that's incredible

Thanks for piping up now that he's 3 points away with over 30 games to play.

 

[Bounces R Way]

He isn't even gonna get a nomination.

 

[Paul4587]

Does anyone still actually think Rielly deserves the Norris over this guy?

 

[DJJones]

Yes

 

[Alwalys]

Burns is almost 34 so... not that big of an accomplishment.
