With the playoffs well underway, it's normal that the intensity reaches a new level.

We've seen it during game four between the Leafs and the Panthers.

Players don't hold back on hits. A great example of that is when Radko Gudas violently sent David Kampf on the floor after the whistle.

Many didn't appreciate the hit. Especially Sheldon Keefe.

Keefe Makes a Major Accusation Towards the Florida Panthers

"I don't know exactly when the whistle blew, but...he knows the play has ended or is ending and, to me, that's a hit with no intention other than to hurt the player. There was a lot of violence to it, but happy Dave's OK."

It seems clear that Gudas' intentions we're to injure Kampf.

He's known to play with a physical style and have injured many player with dangerous hits.
