With Team Czechia leading 1-0 over the US squad in the first knockout game of the 2024 IIHF World Championship, things were getting very physical, and then this happened in front of the net;
During a scuffle, Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas was seen pulling Brady Tkachuk away from the pile, choking him in the process in a play that upset many on Team USA.
Despite seven goals in seven games for Tkachuk at the tournament, the US remain scoreless as this game heads into the third period, but given the actions of Gudas in this tight battle, it's safe to say that the US will have plenty of motivation to come back and pick up a huge win to move on to the next stage.
