Parros Stands Firm on Gudas's Five-Game Ban

NHL Department of Player Safety head George Parros pushes back hard against the growing backlash over Radko Gudas's knee-on-knee hit that shelved Auston Matthews for the season with a Grade 3 MCL tear and quad contusion. Leafs players and even Matthews's agent Judd Moldaver call the five-game suspension too light, especially given Gudas's history of 21 suspended games across four prior bans, while the Tkachuk brothers rip Toronto for not dropping the gloves right there on the ice.
