The National Hocky League has suspended Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas five games Friday for kneeing Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews on Thursday night. Matthews was forced to leave the game. Gudas was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct.
It was announced Friday night that Mattews will miss the remainder of the season with a Grade 3 MCL tear.
My take: Garbage. Clearly intentional and reckless. Gudas took heat at the Olympics for injuring Sidney Crosby, but Crosby absolved Gudas of any wrongdoing. Still, the kman's reputation precedes him. After four suspensions from 2015 to 2019, Gudas had been on good behavior ... until Thursday night.
