@barzstappens Compared to Gudas knee job I would say this maybe a fine

oh that’s so fucking dirty fuck you

@DaSaynze @clahanna @TSN1200 Brady created it

@clahanna @TSN1200 That’s a good thing Claire. No issues with people criticizing their play on the ice but there’s been a media/social media circus around these two for non-hockey related reasons. Everyone needs to back off these guys. It’s toxic behaviour from the fanbase and a lot of the media

Brady Tkachuk & Linus Ullmark were both requested to speak with the media ahead of tonight’s game vs Buffalo but were not available according to the #Sens.

@clahanna Imagine this happening in Toronto?? The league would impose fines against the Leafs for not making players available.. what a shit show

@kazGoSensGo Grant Fuhr was a big coke head

Here is the full exchange for greater context. Keith Tkachuk comments on players becoming "soft" in dealing with injuries, then brings up Grant Fuhr (goaltender) playing 70 games a season. Brady laughs awkwardly and Matthew quickly tries to change topics.

@mikegentile590 He is a player that doesn't show respect so I dont respect anything he does.. players like him do not belong in this league... dont forget he took Crosby out of the Olympics

@simonclowes I said respect the move tonight especially compared to alternatives. Didn’t say respect him and his game in general. He’s dangerous and dirty. Just thought he handled it well tonight

If Gudas leaves the game but laced them up just for that fight you have to actually respect the move.

@DArrm91 Still a douche bag.. has been all of his career.. he has zero respect for other players..

Gudas knew it was coming. Answered it and took it like he said he would. Got to give him that

@Drago_Lightning @TheHockeyNews Lmao.. you're a clown if you think that Gudas didn't mean to injure Matthews..

@TheHockeyNews NO. I never disrespected him. I don’t believe Gudas meant to cause a season ending injury to AM. And as for the Leafs, little bit too late. They’re a joke!

Does this fight make you respect Radko Gudas more for answering the bell? No chance he was throwing a punch in this one

@TheHockeyNews Douche bag cheap shot punk..

@Mr_Renni_M @worldhockeyrpt Lmao...

@simonclowes @worldhockeyrpt You’re a clown

Respect to Radko Gudas. Not sure he even tried to throw a single punch, just answered the bell like a man.

@JeffVeillette Pezzeta will get a 6 games suspension for abuse of official

Most of Toronto missing the Gudas revenge fight because Sportsnet stayed with the Blue Jays losing by 10 is 100% the funniest way that could've gone

@BizNasty2point0 Gudas is a douche bag... I wanna see a cheap shot take him out

Wow Domi that was as good as you could have hoped for. Gudas straight up G for going out of his way to answer the bell. Incredible job by Domi.

@tavkniesnythews Lmao....

My gut is telling me Pronger will be hired with the leafs. I think he could change the culture of a club. People like to compare him to Shanahan but I don’t think they’re the same. Pronger strikes me as a cut throat kinda guy if things aren’t going well. Just seems like a who is hungry to win. Or it could be a guy who we didn’t see coming, however, the leafs can’t afford to get this next hire wrong. It’s gotta be the right guy. #leafsforever

@lukefoxjukebox Whatever the Leafs do it will be met with a stiffer suspension that what Gudas got... guaranteed!!!!

NHL warned Leafs, Ducks about getting out of hand tonight. Craig Berube: "You don't want anything stupid happening, suspensions and things. That doesn't solve anything. Just go out and play the game with a lot of emotion, energy. Be physical and be hard on their skilled players."

@Berger_BYTES If they seek revenge and end up retaliating the Leafs suspension will be more then what Gudas got

I know the fans don’t want this. But, if I were Joel Quenneville, I’d scratch Radko Gudas for tonight’s #Ducks - #Leafs game in #Anaheim. Quenneville’s team sits atop the Pacific Division with 86 points. The visitors, who mailed in Saturday’s game at St. Louis, could seek artificial revenge on Gudas for ending Auston Matthews’ season. I say “artificial” because the Leafs, in real time, chickened out when their captain was on the ice, injured by the dirty hit. With nothing to play for, they could make a show of going after Gudas, should he play. The Ducks have nothing to gain from that. Injuries and suspensions can result from fights or stick work. So, I’d be surprised if Quenneville dresses Radko. #LeafsForever

@TheHockeyNews I say stop with the suspensions and start fining them accordingly, first offense 5% of yearly salary, then increases with every offense.. then we can stop with the comparison. It has to change, there has to be a better system in order for this to make a difference

With A.J. Greer only being suspended for three games for a hit on Connor Zary in Calgary, how much stricter should NHL player safety be on punishments for deliberately dangerous hits? thehockeynews.com/nhl/florida-pa…

@Ken_Campbell27 I say stop with the suspensions and start fining them accordingly, first offense 5% of yearly salary, then increases with every offense.. then we can stop with the comparison. It has to change, there has to be a better system in order for this to make a difference

I don't for one minute buy into the notion that player discipline is particularly difficult or nuanced or complicated. Either you're willing to live with this garbage or you're not. And the NHL and George 'The Violent Gentleman' Parros are fully prepared to live with it.

@OHaraSports @TheHockeyNews I say stop with the suspensions and start fining them accordingly, first offense 5% of yearly salary, then increases with every offense.. then we can stop with the comparison. It has to change, there has to be a better system in order for this to make a difference

George Parros should step down. Gudas’ hit was bad—but A.J. Greer’s was way more blatant. How do you give him fewer games or just a phone hearing? Ridiculous. #GoAvsGo @TheHockeyNews

@Nealerrr I say stop with the suspensions and start fining them accordingly, first offense 5% of yearly salary, then increases with every offense.. then we can stop with the comparison. It has to change, there has to be a better system in order for this to make a difference

For the first time in NHL history every fanbase in the league + media agreed on something(Greer lengthy suspension), and the guy with a degree from Princeton fucking university still managed to mess it up.
