I’m not totally surprised at Conroy’s comments. Players normally know who can do what, and I’m also pretty sure that Darryl Sutter wishes he’d taken a different tack with Giordano in the summer of ‘07. If Anton Stralman or anyone else beats him out, it’ll be based on quality play, because Mark Giordano’s pretty damned good for what he gets paid.

i also posted this over at the mark giordano #1 fansite (aka: hitthepost) today…. and you can be sure i will refer to this quote numerous times over the next year(s).

At the very least, and I’m not saying I disagree with Connie, but it’s a good little vote of confidence for Gio. Sometimes coming back from injury can be a tough lot and with Gio’s upsides we want him to get going good and quickly. Sometimes with all the talking, I think the old vet has a few wily tricks too boot.

Holy, colloquialisms Batman…. oh well, whatever. I gotta stop re-reading posts.

I didn’t know WI could throw her voice like that, although I really don’t know how far she was from Connie when he (allegedly) made that comment.

oh, maimster…. it’s far more sinister than that (and based in the dark arts). :P
