At best, it's a hit that was a reckless, and super late in forming so it ended up becoming a knee-on-knee which is real bad. And it seems to happen with Gio a bit too frequently for my liking.
The angle makes it hard to tell. If that's the only angle, I'd say its a nothing play.

I'd love it if someone can explain how a player could possibly make knee on knee contact with a player that's behind them. If Gio stuck his leg out and backward enough to catch the knee, he would have spun like a top given the "incredible" speed that McDonttouchme was skating at. Given the history and if it was actually so dangerous, I'm surprised that no one on the oilers went after Gio.
