This is 100% bang on. Aho needs to be smarter than that, skating through the middle of the ice towards the slot admiring the puck. Short of moving out of the way completely and letting him get a grade A scoring chance, I don’t know how else Gio is supposed to play that.
Yes, it’s unfortunate he caught him in the chin and hopefully Aho is okay but if that’s a suspendable hit, you may as well change it from the NHL to the NCHL.
