Aho collides with Adam Fox; Fox leaves game with injury (Fox placed on LTIR)

[Nocashstyle]

Yeah Aho didn’t stick his leg out at all

 

[Jeremy2020]

Fox should have gotten a penalty.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Fox sticks his leg out while trying to avoid contact. Self inflicted.

 

[tny760]

the department of player safety has decided to suspend adam fox for 5 games

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I'm an Aho fan, so might be biased, but that looked unintentional to me. I'm also a Fox fan, so it sucks.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

Fox stuck his leg out and unfortunately Aho was there. Not Ahos fault for existing.

 

[spiny norman]

Updated the thread title.

 

[El Travo]

Yeah, this isn't a knee by Aho. The only one with a leg sticking out is Fox. Unfortunate collision.

 

[crosby87]

lol it would be more accurate to say fox sticks leg out on aho in this scenario

 

[UrbanImpact]

did Fox return?

 

[HTFN]

Fox did all the moving. Aho was basically just caught in his edges like "well I hope I don't die here", he gets kind of tall and stiff, and then Fox tried to do something he didn't pull off.

Can't see that being Aho's fault at all.

 

[Panthaz89]

Did Aho even move?

 

[Ignite111]

Fox throwing out that knee. Should have thrown him in the box

 

[Korpse]

That’s Fox trying to get out of the way.

 

[TrufleShufle]

No effort made to avoid contact by Aho.

Watch the replay in slowmo, and keep your eyes on both sets of legs, forget the jersey colors, I think you'll be surprised at what you see.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I’m surprised (actually not really it’s the mainboards) that no one is pointing out that Aho is defending Fox as if he has the puck…?

Challenging him at the point, getting in his lane and then no effort to avoid contact. You don’t normally see that.

If anything it’s interference, not kneeing. Still kind of a scummy play, y’all would be pissed if your franchise player got injured on such a play.

You sure you’re not just being a homer?

 

[Atoyot]

Looked to me like Aho was trying to bring his leg in rather than sticking it out?

EDIT: maybe not bringing it in, but definitely doesn't look like he stuck it out.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Very subtle

Scummy? Aho is trying to avoid Fox, Fox in the other hand doesn't try to avoid Aho and even sticks out his knee.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

?? I’m saying it’s borderline interference and kinda scummy, I’m not crying about it.

Objectively speaking, it’s a very unusual play by Aho imo.

 

[stl76]

Bummer if Fox is hurt, looked like he skated into Aho TBH.

 

[Bankers Box]

Aho is a pretty dirt rat but this doesn’t look like he kneed Fox, just an awkward and unfortunate play.

 

[2014nyr]

i don't think there was any intent, if anything he wanted to get a piece of fox and held his ice to chip him and that was a result. regardless of intent though, it's not a good look to not answer the bell afterwards.

 

[Barry Tallackson]

There's no tactical reason why Aho would want to go past Fox while the play is behind the Carolina net. Fox had him beat. Aho panicked and interfered

Right.. aho should pull out his Harry Potter wand and instantly turn 180 degrees to be back in the play
