The NHL Disciplinary Committee upheld the punishment for Czech defenseman Radek Gudas for a dangerous knee-on-knee foul against American forward Auston Matthews.

Anaheim's captain will miss five games and will also lose over two million korunas in suspended salary. New information from the latest statements shows that the disciplinary proceedings also took into account Gudas's previous incident from the recent Milan Olympics, when the Czech defenseman sent Canadian captain Sidney Crosby to the injury list. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Gudas's father also commented on the punishment. According to him, it was a clean foul with no room for debate, although he acknowledges that the disciplinary committee could have taken both incidents into account. Gudas's father expressed concern over the disproportionate hate his son has been receiving from a section of Czech fans. He points out that the criticism from Czech fans is too harsh. isport.cz ↗
The incident caused considerable uproar in the NHL. Fans of the home team as well as other clubs reacted negatively, with some voices calling for harsher punishment of the Czech defenseman. Gudas has, in a relatively short time, become responsible for more serious incidents, which led to additional scrutiny of his conduct. The Czech defenseman will accept the punishment and will not be available to his team, Anaheim, for the next five games. sport.cz - fotbal ↗
