For those curious, he will be eligible to play when the leafs next play Anaheim on March 30th.

Should be for the same amount of time that Matthews is out

What a bunch of crap.

The NHL is such a joke it’s unfortunate cause it really is the best sport but god it’s so poorly ran

Suspended?! Kick him off the tour Doug!
Ropsuta
That’s actually bit more than what I expected, but still too little
Gingerangelo
Damn, I was planning to tune in to watch Gudas those games.
themusicguy2000
Just expel him from the league ffs

Thats not nearly enough

Gotta wonder about the timing of all the decisions and information being floated behind the scenes… if Matthews’ injury forced their hand this time.
Honestly though fuck Paros with a 20 inch walrus dick. Theres no way he’s long for his position at this point right? There was so much egregious shit happening the first few months of this season in particular that were just straight up unpunished or shrugged off with a fine. The teams/players association **have** to be putting pressure on the league by now… right?

Any player that injures another intentionally, like this one was, should serve the same length of time away from the game as the injured player. Watch how fast it all ends! And, I am not a fan of either team for context.

But pinto got 41 for gambling

I was expecting 1-2 games and a slap on the ass while they tell him « Get in there champ! »

I fucking hate Gudas.He’s the same piece of shit that was the the reason why Crosby missed the rest of the olympics fuck this guy.

not enough imo

It’s not enough. Disgraceful act by Player Safety.

What a fucking joke , Matthews is out for the season with a serious injury. 5 games is fucking nothing!
Regardless what you think of the leafs as a team and their current position in the standings, that piece of shit is a dirty ass player and should have been suspended for 20+ games man, it was such a blatant and obvious cheap shot that has now put Matthews into possible surgery and ended his season. What a fucking joke , fire every single person on that board and replace them
Snorrrrlacks
Shreds Matthews’ knee with his 5,000th dirty hit, gets 5 games. Makes perfect sense. Fucking joke.
Deraj2004
Five games for a repeat offender who ended a dudes season.
Aezetyr
Again, NHL DoPS fucking sucks. He should be out for the rest of the regular season + playoffs if the ducks make it. Once again the DoPS fulfills the PoS part.

He should be suspended for 5 games on top of any time that Matthews is out. Otherwise, it’s just an incentive to injure players.
mikeydavison
We better go headhunting on March 30
Striking_Bathroom803
Get rid of him completely
My_cat_is_a_creep
That goon should be kicked out of the NHL. He has made a career out hurting other players.

I like what Dangle said. Just grab a Duck and start punching them until someone stops you. However the Leafs are softer than a baby diaper, so doubt that’ll happen.
coolin68
This league sucks.
5 games is a joke. Suspend him for the season, since Matthews is out for the season.
Gudas stinks.
Fire him into the sun.
passo_carrabile
Good. Won’t be playing against the Habs Sunday.
CanadianIronman
Nowhere long enough… especially as a repeat offender.
cheeky_nonconformist
I just saw the hit. What a piece of SHIT. 5 is not long enough
Katieo1022
Punishment should fit the crime: kick him out for the rest of the season.
zivlynsbane
Ended Matthews season most likely and only gets 5 games? Cmon now.
Top_Consideration582
This is bullshit. Gudas will be all rested up after his 5 game suspension and continue to go after more players. Wha a load of shit. It’s not like this is his first offence. He just injured Crosby.
SlightlyOffWhiteFire
Part of me wonders if its just cause they were too lazy to do a full hearing and did a phone hearing instead, which can only give out 5 games max.
Marnot_Sades
So seriously, why isn’t there a rule or precedent for kicking players out of the league/indefinite suspensions? I know there have been a few that were indefinitely suspended but they were the results of legitimate crimes.
But I feel like players who have a significant history of causing injuries through dirty/stupid hits need to have a limit. Gudas, Bennett, Wilson, hell, even Marchand have all had a good, long history of shit like this. You’re telling me that it’s fine for a player who has a history of dealing out injuries is allowed to give career ending, life altering injuries and the punishment is just “no games for five days”?
GirlyFootyCoach
Again crimes on the ice should match the severity of the injury. If AM is out for the rest of the season so should Goonas
FellSorcerer
The NHL is a joke. This should have been a long, long suspension. 20 games at minimum. If the Leafs have any spine, they’ll go after Gudas with intention to hurt.
hans42x
Taking a player out with a dirty hit for the rest of the season should result in suspension until that player can return to the lineup.
paradox-eater
Why is Gudas still allowed to play in the NHL lmao
max_semenator
Predetermined suspension of no more than 5 games due to phone hearing rather than an in person hearing. Gudas has history of suspensions, but obviously it wasn’t considered in decision on aspect of hearing. Parros and rest of DoPS should be fired.

The suspensions should match the number of games the injured player misses 🤷
