Auston Matthews was brutally taken out in the NHL – a familiar face involved
In the Milan Olympics, the Canadian captain Sidney Crosby was tackled by Czech defender Radko Gudas and is once again in the headlines due to a brutal hit.
Gudas, representing the Anaheim Ducks, tackled Toronto Maple Leafs star forward Auston Matthews directly on the knee during last night’s NHL round.
