Radko Gudas: The BIGGEST NHL Rat NO ONE Talks About

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Gudas was indeed caught out of position, and he skated to get back in position, he went for puck, and then the players collided. Gudas glided in fast, because gliding in slower and more courteously he doesn’t get there in time to stop the scoring chance.
🙄 Maybe the Leaf player should have to slow down on his way to the net? The collision wouldn’t have been as violent if Leaf wasn’t moving so fast...
 
It was the part when he was taking multiple strides and leaving his feet and hitting the guy into the net aka the entire play.
Gudas's left leg does swing around in the air and right leg jolts up during the hit which is cause of the high speed and momentum.

Funny to see from this angle that Gudas kinda gives a last second clothesline move on Aston-Reese lol.

Don't blame victim for the wrong doing of the perpetrator.
 
If not for the humour he has been providing, I'd have used the block function 9 pages ago on a certain someone.

Just wanna see how many more times he can write the rule out 😅

Thanks for posting yet another angle proving you wrong. We also now know you don’t know what a clothesline is.

I said "kinda" and yea his arm goes up agasint his chest. That's kinda close to a clothesline. Again, I didn't say it was, I said "kinda". Aston-Reese does spin around for a reason. You can't deny that.

If it was shoulder on shoulder than how come both players spun when hit?

Mahura (claimed off waivers from Ducks), “Teaming up with Gudas to form one of the top shutdown pairings in the NHL, the Panthers have led their opponents 429-331 in shot attempts, 204-141 in scoring chances and 19-11 in goals at 5-on-5 when that dynamic duo has been on the ice together, according to NaturalStatTrick.com”

 
Seems like a lot of purported hockey fans from hockey's mecca have no idea what charging actually entails. So bright side, if the NHL needs some more referees they know where to look.

I'm going by the definition of the rule. Charging shall mean the actions of a player who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A “charge” may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice.

At the start of the gif Gudas is on top of the hash marks. To deliver his hit, he then travels from there to the top of the goalie crease. That's certainly enough distance travelled to be considered charging. But only if it was a "violent" hit and interpreting a violent hit can be very nuanced. With that said, I and the Refs are interpreting a violent hit here by the fact that Aston-Reese got Tombstoned by the Undertaker and went head first right through the ice. Lol for real tho because the net got completely discharged and stopped play.
Thx for posting this video. That’s a great clean hit

It's from the same game. Now who can tell me the difference between both plays? There's obvious differences, right?

The differences are very clear. At least in the short snippet we get. In the first video Gudas is more or less skating with the Leaf player and since they are traveling the same path, its kind of hard to hit someone, so he muscles him off the puck instead. In the second video Gudas is not side by side with the leaf skater, and neither are they skating along the same trajectory. They are coming from different angles, which leads to a collision, which it has since the beginning of time and will hopefully continue to do so.

Yea, I wanted to show more of Gudas and Engvall but it wasn't working properly. But yea you got it. Gudas was in a much better defensive position to lay a proper clean hit on Engvall that wasn't as egregious as the hit on Aston-Reese.

Funny he's throwing 2 players at his net in 2 separate instances that stopped play. I'm sure the refs kept that in mind on the 2nd play hence it was called by the book. Especially he got an unsportsmanlike penalty on Engvall. Because yes, these types of plays are ambitious to call every time (which I agreed with a couple of posters). Go on YouTube and you'll see it called both ways. But with here, by the definition of the rule, the 2nd play is a textbook charge. Both statements are correct.

Gudas, as a result of distance traveled, violently hit Aston-Reese into the goal frame which resulted in the net being completely dislodged forcing the Refs to again stop play.

In the first gif Gudas didn't even get a penalty for pushing Engvall into Bobrovski.

He got 2:00 for unsportsmanlike conduct, because he complained to the ref about Engvall being in the net, despite the fact he pushed him in there, and was going after him at the other end.

Gudas is one of the most fearless players of his generation, calling him a rat is embarrassing. If you think his earlier years in the NHL were nasty, you should've seen him in Norfolk. Absolute beast and I'm glad he has remained in the league after all these years as a serviceable d-man. Crossed the line a few times but gradually found a balance that allowed his ferocious physical game to remain.

Horrendous OP.
