If Keith Jones was doing coverage nationally for NBC, he'd be calling for Gudas to be suspended. I guess it's a little different when you're doing color commentary for Philly. Well let us all remember, this is Philly we're talking about.
Regardless of situation, he makes contact with the head first…..and well knowing the NHL, can't expect much.
Don't care what anyone says this was a fucking beautiful hit. Gudas kept his elbow tucked and hit him square in the body. Caught Stalberg with his head down! Love seeing D-men stepping up and knocking unware puckhandlers crusing thru open ice
Kept his arm tucked, didnt leave his feet, hit straight through the body, Stahlbergs head was down trying to reach, eligable to be hit. Refs had it right, no call. Still do hope Stahlberg will be ok, but that doesnt mean this was dirty in any way.
Just hilarious seeing the bias among non-flyers fans. They even have a slo-mo version of the hit in this video you can clearly see the principle point of contact is stalbergs shoulder. Even if he clips his chin a little bit, how do you call yourself a fan of hockey and call that a dirty hit? Stalberg should keep his head up.
Principle point of contact in this hit is not the head, it is the chest. If you disagree have fun being wrong. If Zac Rinaldo was not suspended for his hit on Couturier which clipped more of Couturier's head than Gudas does here, Gudas will not only not be suspended but the league will not even bother to look at this. You hockey fans with bias against Philly are such hypocrites. Gudas takes one step leaning down shoulder first into a player who has his head down. The head injury is solely the responsibility of the player in this situation. Seriously, if the Scott Stevens hit on Eric Lindros was clean, then this is some pretty expensive laundry detergent being used by Gudas.
Like the fact that not a single Rangers player after this hit occurred decided to go "stand up for their teammate" by dropping the gloves with Gudas tells you all you need to know about whether or not this hit was clean.
Savage hit. The fast-paced action of NHL hockey will result in plays like this. Gudas has his arms tucked down, doesn't charge or leave his feet. You can see he's aiming for Stalberg's chest/shoulders and makes principal contact on the shoulder with glancing-blow contact up high on Stalberg's jaw. Looks to be more clean than dirty IMO. Shouldn't see any supplementary discipline from the NHLPS.
Clean hit, keep your head up and these things wont happen. If youre saying this is a dirty hit then compare it to a matt cooke hit, case closed. Matt Cooke throws bows worse than Jon Jones lol
While it wasn't a vicious hit it was obvious the initial contact was with his jaw. I understand most people on here are bias Flyer fans but to say initial contact was with the shoulder is laughable. Jesus Christ open your eyes and be honest.

The bias of these announcers is almost unnoticeable.

Clean hit Shoulder to Chest
keep your head up bitch
Pretty sure this is just a beautiful example of a great hit. If this is dirty, but what Rinaldo did wasn't then I'll eat my fucking hat.
