So, uh, this one is kind of hard to fathom.
Radko Gudas and Claude Giroux normally suit up together as members of the Philadelphia Flyers. Giroux is Gudas’ captain, after all.
But, teammates face off against each other at the World Championship as was the case for Giroux (representing Canada) vs. Gudas and the Czech Republic. Thus, we have the violent defenseman dropping the Flyers scoring star with one punch while he also intimidates Nathan MacKinnon in a clip you really have to see to believe.
CSN Philly provided that video. More on that here.
Canada ended up winning the game 4-1. Giroux and Jakub Voracek seemed a lot friendlier.
