Call it victim blaming all you want, I don't care. This isn't a murder trial, it's an NHL hit.
The players out there have to take responsibility for themselves too. They're grown men and they should be capable of doing that. When you cut to the middle of the ice with your head down you're going to get rocked and eventually you're going to get hurt.
It's unfortunate Aho was hurt but hopefully he learns from this. It's absurd to expect players to rely on others (other than refs) to stay safe. The players have to protect themselves too.
