2) I've seen multiple Cane and Oiler fans mention "if that was Gaudreau". Johnny is probably the best player in the league at NOT doing things like that. Blindly cutting into the middle staring at the puck with no idea who's in *front* of you. I can't see him ever doing that and if he did, he'd be at fault just like Aho was because the defender was standing still in his path. Johnny can stick-handle with the puck on a string without ever looking down at it. Terrible example to deflect away from the deficiencies in your argument here.

The only time Johnny has been truly rocked in the NHL was in his rookie year vs Datsyuk, I don't recall him ever getting hit like that again. Aho got rocked twice this game. If Aho was smart he would learn from this play just like Johnny seemed to do. Maybe I'll sound bias here but Aho was the reckless one on that play, this isn't Sm-Ligga, if you toe drag with your head tucked in while in the slot you should get lit up. If you're a smaller guy in the league you cannot afford to look down at the ice for a second. Johnny has never been that reckless. I would tell Gio to make the same play every time.
