Radko Gudas was on the receiving end of a monstrous hit in Game Two of the Stanley Cup Final that forced him to leave early, and we now know more about his status. With Florida already down 2-0 against Vegas, could this be the final nail?
When questioned about Gudas' status following Game Two, Florida Panthers Head Coach Paul Maurice refused to comment directly on the situation, or Gudas' status. His lack of comments seems to indicate that Gudas isn't doing too great, especially after his head hit the ice as it did.
With Gudas likely done for the next few days at minimum, Florida will be seriously handicapped on defense. He has been one of if not their biggest physical presence throughout the playoffs, and his absence is a huge loss.
