The world of hockey has seen a new rivalry emerge between Radko Gudas and Brady Tkachuk. In Thursday’s World Championship quarterfinals game, Czechia narrowly defeated the United States 1-0, but the real excitement came when these two players faced off against each other.
During the game, both players engaged in multiple big hits before a scuffle broke out that saw Gudas, a former Capital player, grab Tkachuk by the neck and briefly choke him. Gudas later explained his actions, stating that while he wasn’t looking to start trouble, Tkachuk’s aggressive approach left him with no choice but to respond in kind. Tkachuk, on the other hand, acknowledged Gudas’ competitiveness and praised his efforts in helping his team.
Despite their physical altercation, Gudas expressed his respect for Brady. He described him as a great guy and someone he enjoys playing against. However, Gudas hinted that their rivalry in Europe could escalate to something more violent if they were to meet again in the NHL. In fact, they had discussed the possibility of fighting each other when the NHL season resumes in the fall.
This ongoing feud between Gudas and Tkachuk is just one of the many intriguing storylines that make hockey so captivating for fans around the world. Their rivalry adds another layer of excitement to an already intense sport that is loved by millions of people worldwide.
