Trouba should have just caught him with his head down at the blue line and knocked him into next season so that Aho is not eating solid food and sleeping more than 3 hours a night for the next 6 months.
Retaliatory fights are dumb and rarely accomplish much. Retaliatory Scott Stevens style hits are

Still handles the puck like a live grenade. He's not the answer, but if he can get better with the puck, he's got Mike Matheson potential, maybe slightly more, in another year or two.

Aho needs to get a big MSG welcome on January 2. Charlestown Chiefs style. We should mutually collect bounty money. Put up a poll which charity it should go to. Maybe LAF goes full Killer Carlson?

Is it a coincidence that a high-energy game like this results in a slew of injuries after a 5 game, 6000+ miles trip? The west coast/Canada teams we faced generally play in a very different manner. Like Seattle for example. Yet the tour itself is bound to put some extra strain on the bodies (and minds).

The speed with which Drury put Fox on LTIR was unprecedented because the trauma of dressing 18 players for a game is still real.

Turn on the siren for Christ's sake! Circle the block! Let 'em know there's gonna be blood!
next game against carolina i hope trouba proves to them hockeys not gone totally soft.
If it was really bad he probably wouldn’t have been able to get up and skate off
Inthink this staff is being a lot more cautious with injuries too and would rather fox come back 100% than try to play through the injury
Most really bad knee injuries don’t have the guy getting up by himself and skating off
It's amazing how many NHL "pundits" call what Aho did an accident. I was listening to NHL radio on my lunch break today, they literally said Rangers fans should be happy and accept it because we are 8-2.
Fox wasn't anywhere near the puck. The puck was like 30 feet away, Aho wasn't even facing the puck/play, his back was to the play, he was facing Fox, he stuck his knee/leg out to trip up Fox who didn't have the puck. How the f*** is that not intentional, how is that a "part of the game" and acceptable. Moreover, how was it not called a penalty.
A player knee on knee another player, behind the play, away from the puck, wasn't even paying attention to the puck, and its acceptable? The intention was blatant and deliberate. That's a suspension worthy action. Fox is now out a month at least. Best case scenario.
The league bends over backwards to protect its stars. It would have torn down its foundations if that happened to Crosby 15 years ago. Now it's OK to deliberately blow out a knee of a top 2 defenseman in the league?

When we played the Ottawa Senators in the 2012 playoffs Brian Boyle put a big hit on Erik Karlsson. The next game Boyle basically got straight up assaulted away from the play. Ottawa won that game.
Take the penalty next game. It's the regular season. We meet this team in the playoffs often enough. They are a division rival.

I’m glad we’re beyond GG day by day nonsense, but I want a general idea please. Is this a month, or the season? I can only refresh twitter so often.

I'm sure if you called them and told them who you were they'd realize you deserve to have this information

there is zero need to rush him.
Give him the full 4 weeks or whatever he needs. Even if he wasn't on LITR, I would want him to take the full 4 weeks.
What are you suppose to do? You get over penalized if you retaliate... and the league doesn't protect you... what would be the reaction from the league if that was Jack Hughes?

Be careful. Shesterkybomb won’t like this.
I’m glad we don’t have an update!
I hope that’s an acceptable response.
