It just can't be over-stated what a dangerous and absent-minded play that was by Aho.
He tried to dangle and cut into the middle looking at his feet with zero awareness of who was around him.
He's a talented player, so I don't blame Gio for taking the opportunity to step into him to separate him from the puck to negate that scoring chance.
The suggestion that Gio should have pulled up or not taken the hit (because Aho made himself vulnerable) is crazy.
