Reaves incident with Grubauer/Graves MOD - NO Racial remarks allowed. (Suspended 2 games)

[FloJack]

Suspend his ass. Send a message this BS will not be tolerated. Or, do nothing……because NHL.

That’s the problem IMO, Reaves is a huge symptom of the NHL.

 

[seroes]

Because Perros thinks injuring players is a good thing, Reeves will get a fine and nothing more.

 

[JoVel]

I couldn't help but cringe watching Graves down in the middle of that pile. Someone makes one bad move with their legs and he gets his throat slit open. Jesus.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Wilson can at least score goals...

That’s the essence of it. Reaves is what happens when a guy has Tom Wilson’s brain and John Scott’s hands.

 

[PAZ]

Avs coach did. Go read his comments. Very classless on a obvious headshot.

The Reaves play IS playoff hockey and everyone who isnt involved in this series can see this. This is why you have people like Reaves on your team. Blame Avs management for not having someone like that on their roster. Kadri may sort of fit that mold but hes been suspended for obvious reasons.

Their 9 minute power play was more than enough of a punishment for a play that IMO deserved 2 min penalty and a 10 min misconduct.

It's the reason why the Blues got swept this year, they needed a player like Reaves. Can't believe Armstrong let the best playoff hockey warrior on the planet let him go for a such a small return. They'd never win a cup without a player like Reaves.

Oh wait....

 

[The Macho King]

This is Bertuzzi shit. Or at least Shawn Thorton.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

It's not a matter of "if" reaves will do something dumb, its a matter of "when".

Looks like it took 2 periods this series.

 

[cgf]

I see this is how @cgf deals with the disappointment he gets from watching his Knicks

*sigh* someday I will find out how the Monstars got to Julius...someday...

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

No? Reaves went in there to stir shit up not put someone in the hospital. It’s a scrum shit like that happens all the time.

I can’t recall the last time a player kneeled on another players head...

 

[PeterForsberg]

Was scared a player would die today.

That shouldnt be a thing. Ban non-talented scum like Reaves from our sport please.

 

[TheDizee]

Vegas did 3x as much as Kadri did tonight and you are whining about his coaches comments? Lol.

Did Vegas injure 2 players on headshots who wont play for the rest of this series? If not, I doubt they did as much as the Avs did.

Because all I saw in that dustup was some pushing and shoving and a much bigger player pushing his weight around on a smaller guy. Pretty harmless stuff in the big picture, nothing more than a 2 min penalty and a game misconduct.

This is the playoffs, its time for big boy hockey. That was big boy hockey, certainly not worthy of a suspension.

This was a dirtbag move by reaves, but let’s not get over dramatic here lol

 

[cgf]

Don’t bother responding to that guy, he believes that there was a league wide conspiracy to get the Avs past the Blues by using COVID as an excuse.

TBF, how else could we have gotten past that superteam? We're not ready for big boy hockey.

 

[Leafsdude7]

$5000 fine.

Did you not see Graves laying like hes out cold on the ice?

 

[Il Stugotz]

Burrows? 10 games for kneeing Taylor Hall while they were both on the ice

 

[Del Preston]

"playoff hockey"
"message sending"

So what you’re telling me is...regular scrum stuff, happens all the time

Yeah...with his knee on someone’s neck....

 

[Trash Panda]

I’m sure it hurt like hell, no doubt.

Nobody was remotely close to dying. [MOD]

 

[KaprizovEntitlelist]

Hff e should have been suspended after suter hit. The utter garbage who leads NHL players safety should be embarrased and fired.

 

[NHL Review]

That happened three years ago..

I don’t disagree that scrums are worse this year (likely due to interdivisional play) but I don’t think we’ve seen something quite to this + Wilson extent in awhile. Even if you think that “happens all the time” it’s not something the league can or should accept is part of their product

So, the fact that the headshots didn't result in disabling injuries excuses the headshots and dirty play?

What a strange metric.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Vegas fans must hate Reaves. What a selfish player who does nothing on the ice but hurts his team.

"playoff hockey"
"message sending"

aka the main reason why the NHL is as popular as it is...
