Radko Gudas loved T-Shirt Guy’s shirt of Radko Gudas

Capitals season-ticket holder Charlie McManus is T-Shirt Guy. Using the Yoshirt app, McManus creates shirts of his favorite players or moments covering the tee from top to bottom and back to front.

Monday, ahead of the Capitals-Blue Jackets game, McManus took up shop along the glass during warmups, rocking a shirt of Radko Gudas’s face. “I stationed myself right behind where he bangs into the glass,” McManus said.

I’m happy to report, Radko saw the shirt.

Ryan Getzlaf calls Garnet Hathaway ‘cowardly’ for taking so long to fight Erik Gudbranson

When the Washington Capitals first met the Anaheim Ducks this season on November 18, the game went off the rails. During an especially spirited second period, Garnet Hathaway spit on Erik Gudbranson after the Ducks defenseman landed a sucker punch as the two were separated by an official. An angry Gudbranson, afterward, said the spitting “was something you just don’t do in a game – and he did it.” Hathaway, who was ejected, expressed regret. The Capitals forward was later suspended three games by the NHL.

Coming into Friday’s rematch, both teams said all the right things and downplayed what happened in November. They were more interested in the “big two points on the line.” But the Ducks later revealed that was bologna after the game was over.

And Friday, before the Capitals took on the Anaheim Ducks, NBC Sports Washington captured Carl Hagelin and Tom Wilson playing their imaginary woodwind instruments and jamming to a song only they could hear. Radko Gudas looked on with both intrigue and befuddlement.

NBC Sports Washington put a jazz song overtop the video and it’s pure magic.

This photo of Radko Gudas and his son meeting Captain is even cuter than you think

On Tuesday, Capitals defenseman Radko Gudas tweeted out a photo of him and his son meeting Captain. Now, listen, the photo is of course sweet. A small child meeting a puppy? It’s the quintessential “cute” photo.

But, I’m here to let you know that there is an extra layer of adorable that you might have missed.

Radko Gudas hip checks Dylan Strome into the air, lands three hits in six seconds

Radko Gudas had himself quite a night against the Chicago Blackhawks.

But Gudas had more pain to deliver. And deliver it he did. In the third period, Gudas doled out three hits in six seconds, including a hip check that sent Dylan Strome high into the air.

Radko Gudas will not accept your high, unnecessary hits on Alex Ovechkin 👊

Connor Murphy learned an important lesson during the first period of the Capitals-Blackhawks game. Do not try to land a stupid hit on Alex Ovechkin, especially one at the end of the period, or your face will be pummeled multiple times.

Radko Gudas, a former division rival who used to be hated by Caps fans, came to Ovechkin’s defense and metaphorically told Murphy you can’t do that.
