This Saturday night marks the return of Radko Gudas to Toronto, where he'll face off against the Maple Leafs for the first time since a memorable moment last May during the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs. In that now-iconic photo, Gudas can be seen screaming in the face of Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll, a moment many Leafs fans are eager to see Gudas answer for.
Now, the big defenseman himself has spoken out. Gudas, who missed a potential matchup with the Leafs back in January due to illness, admitted today that he's been eagerly anticipating this game.
Seizing the opportunity, Gudas also took a playful jab at Maple Leafs fans who were incensed by the infamous photo, suggesting they're still losing sleep over it.
As for whether we'll witness any on-ice drama stemming from the history between Gudas and the Maple Leafs tonight, only time will tell. But there's no doubt that all eyes will be on this highly anticipated game.
