Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas was given a five minute major for boarding and a game misconduct for his hit on Rangers forward Jimmy Vesey.
Dave Isaac: “After seeing the Gudas replay several times, I don’t think he gets anything. Vesey turns last second and crouches, which makes it look worse”
Craig Button: “Onus is on Gudas. Until this hit is deemed 100% unacceptable, it won’t stop. #8Games”
Chris Johnston: “The vital part of Gudas major is whether Vescey put himself in vulnerable position. That has kept similar hits from supplemental discipline.”
Nick Kypreos: (on if Gudas should be suspended) “No. Pretty clear example of a player putting himself in a vulnerable position just prior to or simultaneously with the check.”
Damien Cox: “Radko Gudas won’t be punished significantly bc NHL doesn’t punish significantly. And the victim, as always, will be blamed.”
Do you think Gudas should be suspended? If so, how many games?
