Radko Gudas: The BIGGEST NHL Rat NO ONE Talks About

If the charging player travelled distance and violently hit a player than yes it would be a penalty on open ice, hitting into the boards or in this case into the goal frame.

He traveled distance as the Leaf was traveling distance, their paths crossed. Guys acting like the Leaf was stationary and got steamrolled by someone coming from all the way across the rink. Is Gudas just supposed to let him take the puck right to the net? This isn’t charging, this is another bullshit call in a game that was full of them.

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.

Better question is why a “defensive defense man” is so far out of position after getting dog walked all night. Guy has Ristolainen level IQ, him and Polak need to be studied by anthropologists to see if they might be the missing link.

Holy hyperbole. I described the distance Gudas took to make his hit. And again, Aston-Reese was ahead of Gudas. If Gudas was parallel
with Aston-Reese then you would have a point. But he wasn't.

No, distance travelled does not have to do with consistently moving your feet. If Gudas started skating at full strength and then glides the rest of the way, he's still going really fast to constitute a charge.

Remember the rule doesn't say he has to take strides or consistently move his feet. It just says this:

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.

His intention from the start appears to be that of someone trying to play the puck/pass as he leads with his stick - gliding. He doesn't skate through the Leaf player and only at the moment they're about to collide does he brace to hit.

Of all the hits that occur on any given night that are charges and go uncalled, this isn't one.

Lmao at the terrible takes in here. Clearly haven’t watched Gudas at all in his time as a Panther.



Go ahead and pull up his heat map. If neither of those do anything for you, go ahead and actually watch him. Or, you know, just cry cause he destroyed a player and was incorrectly called, and cry more cause he cleanly blasted another guy and let the Leaf take the penalty.

Difficult to prove intention and still doesn't really matter giving the result. Gudas doesn't swipe away at the puck or anything. He just goes for the body violently enough to fly Aston-Reese's spine right into the post dislodging the net and forcing the ref to stop play.

Hits are inherently violent. Charging requires skating through the check as part of the call. He's gliding at impact and took one good stride before that. It's not a charge.

Gudas was going fast enough and he was behind Aston-Reese. Plus, I already described that taking stride or moving feet doesn't matter.

Watch The Hockey Guy and his interpretation of the rule. In the video hes talking about the Scheifele charge against the Habs back in 2021 playoffs.

By the NHL rulebook this play is a textbook Charge.

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

You can't hard hit a player right into the pipes lolol

People always have a really difficult time when they are faced with the actual rulebook. They like to talk about the game however they want, but then act like the actual rulebook doesn't exist and penalties are just what they think they should/shouldn't be.

Thanks for citing the actual rule here. I'm sure a vast majority of people complaining about the call had no clue that this is even a part of the rulebook.
