Gudas’ thunderous hip check begins unfortunate chain reaction for Flyers
Flyers defenceman Radko Gudas is penalized for a hit on the Devils’ Miles Wood, then Wayne Simmonds is given an unsportsmanlike call, all resulting a goal for New Jersey.
People are saying the penalty was for tripping. You can’t get any higher with that hip-check. If that one was illegal then I guess they all are because you can’t get any better.
Hope this ref received some sort of discipline for this call. Maybe take away his orange stripes and make him a lineman for a few games if he doesn’t realize hip checks are legal.
That is some terrible refereeing. I wish we'd see more hip checks, a lost art for sure. The problem with today's game is that a beautiful hip check almost always results in a the game stopping for a near brawl.
i hate the flyers but the sooner they replace these awful, delicate refs with ai or other technology, the better. this is shameful but none of the idiots who ruined this game will face any consequences.

Nice hip check. Didn't know hip checks are penalties. Take it out of the game if you call it illegal.
This was a beautiful textbook hip check, hard and clean with the skater seeing it ahead of him. These officials have got to go.
Refs have to be held accountable. That ref should not be in the NHL!
how is that check a penalty … the high stick maybe but wtf?
Hurt a refs feelings? Man you better be prepared to pay the price.
Radio Gudas should come to Calgary lol????😀😀
Thanks gary bettman for making hip checks illegal….hes ruined hockey
TERRIBLE CALL and i hate the flyers
That’s a Philadelphia typical
Marchand should get suspended for this
Not only a clean hit, but good hustle and nice skating by Gudas.

i’m not a flyers fan but that was a legal hit in anyone’s play book. A case where the referee determined the out come of the game.
Ref is on the NJ books 🙂
Weakass call
just show how crap the NHL refs have become
Perfect hit.
This is why I stopped watching hockey … because of these ridiculous refs. These videos are good enough for me.
Čemu se ten bez pardonu kokot směje. Kde byl faul? V tom případě byl měl Stevens sedět za svoje zákroky na Lindrose v kriminále

The guy who got hit had released the puck like maybe a half a second before the hit… how can that be illegal
Clean hit all the way. F you ref.
