Leafs Captain Auston Matthews Injured on Gudas Cheap Shot | Rally to Beat Ducks

The Toronto Maple Leafs finally got back in the win column Thursday night with a 6-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, a game that saw Radko Gudas cheap shot Auston Matthews with a dirty knee-on-knee hit. We break down the Leafs' lack of response in the moment, followed by the edge they showed in the 3rd period that we haven't seen all season. We also discuss the culture issues within the team and MLSE as a whole, and predict that was likely the last we'll see of Auston Matthews this season.
