having faced criticism<\/a> over the hit during the Olympics that knocked Sidney Crosby out of the tournament for Canada.<\/p>\nA positive moment for Auston Matthews being wrecked by injury, a similar heartbreak as Crosby’s loss for Canada, at the same hand.<\/p>\n
Further updates on Matthews will likely be provided by head coach Craig Berube, although more may not be known on his status until tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The Radko Gudas hit on Matthews is
already dividing Leafs fans <\/p>\n
Toronto Maple Leafs fans are already livid about the incident between Auston Matthews and Radko Gudas, and clear disdain for the Ducks defenseman.<\/p>\n
Multiple fans are already criticizing Gudas for what is perceived to have been a dirty play, heated emotions for a player with a history of playing overly aggressive.<\/p>\n
If Leafs fans were livid, Ducks fans aren’t that much happier, criticizing their captain for an unnecessary hit that got him tossed from the game.<\/p>\n
It could be the end of Auston Matthews’ season, and it didn’t look good for him leaving the ice, grimacing in clear pain, and it would be the cherry on top of a disappointing year.<\/p>\n
What will be looked for now is if Radko Gudas faces a suspension for the incident.<\/p>\n
