I do think if roles were reversed and Johnny got hit by Faulk exactly like that, the tone in here would be substantially different.
As a Flames fan I hope he isn’t suspended, but in a neutral analysis, I’m not too hopeful.

How low can he possibly aim though? Aho had his head way, way down. Gio's shoulder at impact was way lower than it would if he was just standing upright. You can't very well ask him to get down on his knees in order to be in his right to make a hit, can you? I don't really see how Gio could have gotten below Aho's head on that play.
