Mike Johnson

The only conversation was, should he have been expecting?

Should he have let Caseta fight him or agreed to a McCabe fight?

Was one enough?

I guess is the only conversation as far as Gutis' line of thinking.

Clearly for him, it was.

What I would expect for Radko Gutis going forward is, yeah, every time he plays the Leafs, that's going to be a tough night for him.

and it won't be off the opening face-off.

But if there's a scrum and there's pushing and shoving,

Everyone should try to find him and push and shove him and drop the gloves with him.

And yeah, that is not maybe entirely over, but I don't think he would have to expect what happened last night to happen every single time.

And, you know, kudos to Max.

And I believe if Max had been on the ice when the original incident happened, he would have fought Radko Gudis.

I don't think he would have been someone who sort of cruised in there and said, I'm not sure what's going on here.

He would have reacted differently.

And I would imagine that when he saw the starting lineup,

Joshua and Zeta taking the opening face off and Ben Wong, Carlo, he flat out said in the room, I get them.

It's my responsibility.

It's my whatever opportunity.

And I'm taking them.

Like I know Zeta, you fight more than me, whatever.
