Toronto Maple Leafs fans' treatment of Radko Gudas is a warning to the rest of the NHL
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas has some bad blood with the Toronto Maple Leafs and on Thursday night, the fans would not let him forget about it.
Radko Gudas infamously yelled in
Joseph Woll's face after
Nick Cousins scored the game-winning goal in the Florida Panthers' second-round Playoff series against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
To make things worse, the defenseman, who now plays for the Anaheim Ducks, held
Calle Jarnkrok's stick on the play, making it that much more controversial.
Toronto Maple Leafs fans make Radko Gudas' life hell
Maple Leafs fans have not forgotten Gudas' actions, and when the team took on the Ducks last night, the fans gave the veteran d-man everything they had.
As David Alter of The Hockey News explained, the Leafs faithful were quite mean and made their displeasure known on every occasion.
Fans are booing Gudas every time he touches the puck. #Leafs fans have not forgotten.
Of course, the Maple Leafs had the last laugh in the game as they were able to come away with a 3-2 victory against the Radko Gudas-captained team.
It is believed that he will just be day-to-day and that there is nothing truly serious going on here.
As for the Gudas situation, all of this goes to show that Maple Leafs fans are nothing to mess with.
If anything, this should serve as a major warning to players throughout the NHL. Mess with Toronto at your risk, because the fans are going to make your life a living hell whenever you step foot on that ice.
