Happy for fans in Winnipeg, you guys have waited a long time for meaningful hockey! The Flames aren't far behind though, hopefully this bye week doesn't derail us! lol

Good thing Gio isn't a dirty player, that definitely factored into the decision not to suspend. Aho was watching the puck and Gio stood his ground, it looked quite similar to the hit on Kadri a year or two back. Gotta keep your head up!
