MAJOR | Radko Gudas gets a piece of his own medicine: That's why the Canucks NEED Ivan Barbashev
Radko Gudas is known across the NHL for his crushing hits. He's played a big part in the Panthers' success, and his physicality will be needed if they intend on getting through the Golden Knights.
The second game of the Stanley Cup final is underway, and Gudas was handed a piece of his medicine. Has he went to hit Ivan Barbashev, the Russian centerman delivered a crushing hit, and Gudas was badly hurt as he immediately walked down the tunnel. Here's the hit:
Barbashev has been linked to the Canucks on multiple occasions to play down the middle behind Pettersson and Miller; his physicality surely is one thing the Canucks could use. He's also known to be quite the playoff performer, as he's been coming up big for the Knights, just like he did when he won the cup with the Blues.
