Radko Gudas Takes the Coward's Way Out in Early Fight With Max Domi
Last night's game between the Leafs and the Ducks saw Radko Gudas return for the first time since last year's playoffs, and he took the coward's way out in his early fight with Max Domi.
Gudas Slams Domi To the Ice Quickly in Early Fight Last Night
Radko Gudas has earned his reputation as a physical player in the NHL, however, he doesn't often back up his play with his fists. Last night, however, he seemed pretty keen to get something going with the Leafs after going down 3-1, and took on Max Domi early in the game.
The fight was pretty quick, with the two mutually agreeing to go, however, Gudas made a swift move to slam Domi down to the ice, something that is fairly frowned upon in the fighting world.
Take a look for yourself.

Gudas Fights Smaller Player Despite Several Opportunities to Fight Ryan Reaves
Gudas is also getting heat online for fighting Domi due to the size difference. Gudas is 6 feet while Domi is just 5 foot 10. Reaves had offered Gudas a chance at redemption several times throughout the game, however, Gudas never showed up.
Luckily for Gudas, that will be the last time he has to play the Leafs this year, as the Ducks aren't looking like they will make a push in the postseason, or even make it.
