Radko Gudas: The BIGGEST NHL Rat NO ONE Talks About

[BlackFrancis]

No go ahead, dumb it down for me.

Nah.

Maybe some day.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

If they leave

Oh they leaving...

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Good lord whoever makes these videos shouldn't.

That's the arena he's gonna play in too

 

[floridada]

Thanks for sharing this incredible video with the rest of us, Leafsnation. I was at the edge of my seat the whole time.

And what happens when Matthews and Nylander both leave the mecca of success that is Toronto?

Oh who's your super secret, super duper high level source on this? Both have been treated very very well by the organization and being paid top dollar all the while too. So where exactly is the grass greener? This ain't the Ballard era here - everything is top shelf. Only real drag is the idiot media and the spotlight's glare. Wallflowers need not apply but somehow Willie and Auston don't strike me as the shy type

Weak effort, 3/10.
People use to be so much better at this.

 

[Enga Olly]

So in summary the team with the 11th best PP differential in the league is getting screwed by the refs!
Very sneaky how the NHL is covering their tracks here.

So in summary, the team that supposedly has the league and refs in their pocket, doesn't have the top PP differential and has never had that over the years.

(mod)

 

[SteadyFreddie]

Nah.

Maybe some day.

Figured you’d say as much. Appreciate you bringing up non-relevant stats and contributing nothing, not sure what I’d do without you

There isn't enough help available for all those who need it around here.

 

[Machinehead]

That nobody talks about?

Gudas is widely regarded as pretty dirty.

 

[Master P]

Not sure what's more embarrassing. The video or making a thread WITH the video.

How about looking at total time on the power play, where the Leafs rank 28th since the 2016-17 Season.

Has Gudas done dirty hits/plays in the past, yes and he's been suspended for some of them. But the two plays highlighted in that video are nothing plays TBH. The one on not fighting, meh why fight a role player for no reason, not a big deal. The hit he delivered was a great hit, I would expect nothing less from any D on any team.......if he didn't delivery that hit I would be annoyed with him TBH. I'm not a fan of either team, but those two plays are nothing plays, none fighting a role player and a good solid hit. Not sure why anyone would be pissed off about the hit.

 

[cneely]

So what’s your point? I said the leafs ranked 28th since 2018 in power play opportunities, they should be way higher considering they’ve been one of the top teams in the league since then. Colorado, Tampa, and Florida are all in the top 5.

Which proves absolutely nothing except that the Leafs don't draw that many penalties.

 

[danpantz]

Also don’t get called for that many either.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

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.
View attachment 637155

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.

It was hardly violent and the net is designed to move easily for player safety.

So far this season out of all the 32 teams, the Leafs are the only ones who have not yet had a 5v3 power play.

 

[SteadyFreddie]

It does actually, it proves that the refs keep their whistles in their pocket when the leafs superstars are being hacked in the offensive zone. Why else would the leafs rank 28th, while Tampa, Florida, and Colorado rank in the top 3? They all have similar offensive outputs and star players.

Also don’t get called for that many either.

Typically it’s harder to take penalties when you control possession for the majority of the game.

 

[tfwnogf]

He was big mad in the box last night, slamming his stick and being a baby. Mad cuz bad and on a bad team ig

I don't think that word means what you think it means. Maybe other teams are just committing fewer infractions against the Leafs.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Not seeing any "charging" on that hit last night.
Soft refs out I guess.

 

[danpantz]

Yet the Bruins are 5th in shorthanded time this year

Your statement is the best rebuttal so far in this thread.

Leafs so soft, teams play less aggressive vs them - less pp?
