Setting up the play?
Thought we should have a thread specifically for this story. I was surprised there was a hearing, but I can understand it. Fingers crossed he doesn't miss time.
I dont think those count since there were no suspensionsIt's not the first time Gio has done this which I think may factor in to a possible multi-game suspension - Aho + Fowler.

Gio did receive a match penalty for the Aho hit. And both Aho and Fowler missed time afterwards with injuries that resulted from the hits. I don't think it's the out of the realm of possibility if they decided to throw the book at himHe hasn't been suspended before and has a plausible defense. It wasn't an out and out knee-on-knee. I think fine or 1 game is most likely outcome. We will see though!
How bad is Koivu's knee?

If they decided at those times that they were not suspendable offences, they can't go back and treat them as suspendable now.
Also, I don't think anyone other than maybe a few Canes and Oilers fans thought the Aho hit was even a penalty. The refs pretty clearly got that one wrong.

The Aho his was not a knee-on-knee hit, and it was shoulder to upper chest/chin. If people want to argue the Dumba his is clean, then Gio's hit on Aho is clean. Gio destroying Aho is cleaner than Dumba on Backlund, Dumba got all head on his hit.
Gio gets him with the knee, but that isn't kneeing at all. Gio tripping up Koivu is "kneeing" (I put it in quotes because I don't think it is a knee, he trips him). Gio leads with the shoulder and Aho puts himself in essentially the worst position you can and gets blown up.
Captain Mark Kneeordano!!! I mean Falcon.
Is it possible it was reactionary?
Seriously though, I hope Koivu heals quickly. Injuries are never a good thing.
Kneed more information.
Sorry... I'm so sorry.
Hahahaha so true. I wish he didn't work in Edmonton so I could like him.
How TF is it savage?
Comparing someone to Gene Principe?
The savagery.
