The NHL is such a joke when it comes to protecting its players. Yes, it's a man's game and clean hits are fine, even if they injure. It's the dirty, intentional OR reckless cheap shots that it should get out of its game. You don't get it out of the game with 5 games suspensions and meanwhile one of the game's superstars is out for the season. People pay to watch players like Connor McDavid and Austin Matthews play; no stadium has Gudas' photo on the side or name on the marquee except maybe Anaheim because they have few stars. This guy has injured and shortened the careers of a few players already. See Kris Versteeg's comments on this.
He can bring out all the spin doctor verbiage he wants. So let's bring out the facts. He mentioned it's the first suspension in 7 years but if you want to count numbers, another 3 suspensions would bring him up with the most suspended player in the league – All Time. The other fact is that was a dirty play that resulted in a major injury. The comments that "I have to learn", did he not learn after the 1st suspension? Then there were 4 more. Keep spinning.

Stfu, Radko. You're dirty and cheap.
He took out a player for Vegas that was supposed to go to the Olympics.
How do you have a small forhead and a big forehead at the same time😅
F'n Gooooon.
Of course you respect the league decision because younonly got five games and it should’ve been 15. What a douche.
