Radko Gudas: The BIGGEST NHL Rat NO ONE Talks About

[cowboy82nd]

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?

Force?!

Force?!

Charging, as written in the rule book, is a ridiculous concept. Women's/youth hockey rules, pretty much. Go get the guy with the puck, but you'd better do it slowly or it's pokecheck only.

i could only take about 4 seconds of that guys voice before i had to turn it off but saw the play live and....i have no idea what that call was

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Sure a 3rd pairing from one of 10 worst defensive team in term of GAA and GAx should be a top defensive pair in NHL...

Why did you even waste time to comment just to straw man dodge the point while pretending to refute it? I’m sorry that you aren’t armed with facts and need to grasp at threads. It doesn’t change reality. Everyone knows you are just cherry picking to fit a forced narrative. I am going to have to mute you.

The tendancy is that the distance travelled is an issue if he’s still skating (moving his feet) but he wasn’t. Clean hit. I seriously doubt he was trying to direct the guy into the post and any view that he was is conjecture at best.

I agree it was clean, what I didn't like was it was into the post and knocked it off [intentional or not]. How was it any different than pushing a guy into the post say from the side of the net just to end a scoring play, but a bit less violent? What was the official penalty call, I didn't hear it.

Yes for sure hes not dirty...you want some fact???

Engval lost his feeting and contact bobrovsky... gudas cross check engval on the net, it was right... what he did after? He lost his mind and gone in the other side and continu to crosscheck engval and took a stupid penalty who cost a goal

A period later, what he did on the same engval? He goes for a dangerous hip check on him and anybody else, aston-reese come to protect his own player and to fight gudas who avoid it... 2 min later what gudas did when this same aston-reese came back of his penalty, hes charging him after into the post dangerously and get caught for an other penalty and florida allowed a 3rd goal on 3 on gudas miscues

Its exactly what a dirty player will do

Dangerous hip check. Lmao. It was a legal hit and literally everyone outside of a few leaf’s fans agrees. Back to the leafs board with you.

Hip check was legal but still dangerous and it was probably the less important thing...what he does 12 second after aston-reese came back on the ice? He did that hit right to the post

Definition of Charging

Charging is the action where a player takes more than two strides (checked) or travels an excessive distance to accelerate through a body check for the purpose of punishing the opponent.(checked) This includes skating or leaving one's feet (jumping) into the opponent to deliver a check, accelerating through a check for the purpose of punishing the opponent, or skating a great distance for the purpose of delivering a check with excessive force.( checked)

The onus is on the player delivering the check to avoid placing a vulnerable or defenseless opponent in danger of potential injury. ( checked)

He hit exactly every case of charging penalty, the only question was to see if it was a minor or major penalty ( it was ref watch on replay)

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Yall still crying about this? ill say it again need more gudas's out there not less lol.

Beautiful game of hockey baby can't just go to the net as you wish lmao , people really wanna turn the game into ballerinas on ice.

Its why the playoffs are the best in all pro sports, can't just GO to the slot and not expect to get blown up

There are difference between a defender playing his position by closing the front of the net with physical play and a defender who took 4 stride to make a hit because he was completly beaten... he was out of position and trying to repair a mistake with an other mistake...


This same exact play on playoff still a call...

Had nothing to do with who it was taking the puck to the net, it was about stopping him from getting there. A player taking the puck to the net for a scoring chance isn’t a “defenseless opponent”.

We already know the rule. Someone posted it bold 20x in size 72 font.

Taking 4 stride to hit a player is ILLEGAL
+
Add the risk of injury by hitting post and/or goalie

Scoring chance or not thats change absolutly nothing...

A defender on a scoring chance cant cross check from behing, still cant hit to the head of from blind side, still cant Charging by taking 4 stride for it...

 

[Beezeral]

still cant Charging by taking 4 stride for it...

we live in a fictional world I guess. You must have also missed the part where Gudas stopped striding and lunged for the puck and made contact with ZAR's stick to deflect the puck away. Also ZAR doesn't even make direct contact with the post, he hits the ice first and then falls into the post. You are trying so hard to defend an objectively bad call made by an official with a documented bias against Paul Maurice.

He didn't slow down, he was positionning his body for a hit with the momemtum he was taking...

It was considerated like a cleanhit like 20 years ago, not in 2023...they changed the rules to protect the player on the ice and now more than 2 stride of momemtum, its now considerate like a charging

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Its exactly what a dirty player will do

*hockey player. It’s exactly what a hockey player will do. FTFY.

 

[Panthers Rock]

I don't know how you can argue a charge occurs when Gudas is literally GLIDING on momentum well before he makes the hit. He makes the effort to even reach and play for the puck or the stick in attempt to prevent a scoring chance. When this fails, he makes the hit, without even taking another stride. This is just not a charge. The fact that Gudas manages to hit players and knock them down doesn't make it a charge either. He's a big guy with who knows how to hit and use his center of gravity well.

It was not a good call in a sea of bad calls. Anyone arguing that "the refs called it so it must be charging", in a game like that one, where at one point the refs couldn't even decide which team or player to put in a penalty box, is arguing in bad faith.

Gudas absolutely used to be a goon but he has since toned it down considerably. I was not a fan of his when he became a Panther, but I soon came to appreciate both his style of play and his improved defense. Yeah, he's actually good defensively, no surprise why the Panthers were scored on when he was in the box... He has very much cleaned up his act and does his best not to make dirty hits or cheapshots. Hard hits != dirty. The fact that he was even smart enough to goad a player into fighting him while he ducks out of the way to try to draw a penalty is really something. He rarely does that, but I'm sure he knew the team desperately needed some evening up on the PPs.

 

[Canadienna]

HAHAHA that was one of the most obvious hockey dives I've ever seen on Josh Anderson.



Definitely rat-adjacent behaviour, OP might be on to something...

[le_sean]

Exactly that. The biggest POS in the league. Didn’t take Xhekaj long to figure it out.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Florida was pumping the Habs and they tried to goon it up, there were 3 fights.
Gudas isn't a fighter, he just hits everything in sight.

Hopefully Montreal and Florida both go on long winning streaks now
