It's interference for sure, hard to look at it as anything else. Kuch has been going after star players for years, so it doesn't surprise me. Cross-check to the face of Dahlin a few seasons ago comes to mind.

[@barx]

This is like, the worst take. Kuch didn't even do anything terrible. It's a minor, you can argue that, but it's nowhere near the headhunting that people like Wilson put out there on the ice. You can blame Kuch for when he hits a player down on his knees and can't defend himself, but there were harder hits in the game than this.

[@chaseanderson8910]

Definitely an interference penalty but aho kind of sold it too! He layer on the ice like he go hit from behind and then jumps up to scrum the moment the we’re ready to scrum

[@CammieBuckeye]

@@barx Kuch is actually lucky he didn't catch Aho's head here. This is the type of pick play/blindside hit the NHL is trying to get out of the game. How many times have we seen a hit like this but the guy catches the other guy in the head with his elbow or shoulder? Kuch may be a superstar, but he lets his temper get the better of him a ton and throws plenty of questionable and dirty hits. The one on Nutivaara in the 2019 playoffs comes to mind.

[@BommyYabbadabbadoobadoo32112]

I see most people think Kuch did a dirty move, and granted he can be childish and lose his cool. But in this case if you actually look at the play you can see he is moving towards the player with the puck, and then suddenly sees Aho is very close, and then braces for impact. So I would deem him innocent in this case. But he needs to work on himself, he has some serious emotional issues. He had a very tough upbringing, military father, loneliness etc.
