Sure. Like that meme of the dog in the coffee shop that’s burning to the ground, saying “This is fine.”
And other than a hard, late hit from John Klingberg early in the game, guess what the Stars did about Reaves and his two emboldened linemates, who laid a total of 21 hits on the Stars in Game 2?“To say guys aren’t afraid of him would be silly. They are,” said former St. Louis Blue Kelly Chase, one of those dinosaurs who roamed the ice back in the day when every team had one or two players who could, and would, punch your lights out if they saw fit.
It tells us two things: fighting is slowly disappearing from the game; and, those who still chuck knuckles want little to do with Reaves. Of course, the reason that Reaves still plays a prominent role on a Cup contender while the traditional heavyweight has become extinct is because he can skate and he can play.
Outside the game, Reaves’ is a role that has been diminished by analysts. As fighting has rightfully declined, some have made the mistake of assuming that physical intimidation has disappeared as well.
Spec My goodness lol what.
Spec lol...that 7:15 he played in the first two periods really turned the tide...and those (checks notes) ZERO shifts he played in the third...wow..
Spec Who is up 2-1 in the series ? Reaves is a garbage player not a difference maker
Spec How is he not suspended for that hit to the head against Vancouver. Come on already.
Spec LMFAO, get bent.
Spec They won?
Spec This guy is overrated, he can’t score and cannot keep up with the game
Spec I didnt see much of reaves lastnight. And stars won. Looked like a pretty good answer.
Spec Nothing but a GOON and if PLAYER SAFETY had a clue he would have been out this entire series. Goons prosper in Vegas I guess.
Spec Maybe they don’t, but they’re up 2-1.
Spec Bro didn’t he have like less than a 30% corsi for last night
Spec Oh look, another embarrassing story from spec with (let me check) lazy narratives. Who would've guessed! Lol 🤦♂️
Spec Spector is wrong again. No surprise.
Spec Didn’t even notice the knuckle dragger in their loss. They should really put one of their bench players in and sit him out.
Spec Seems all the experts think Reaves is the X factor. Far from the truth
Spec 7:15 TOI. No shots. Again. What exactly do the Stars need to answer from him? Also 6’7” 255 6’2” 225.
Spec They answered his sorry ass tonight
Spec Remember while he warmed the pine while StanleyCupChampionTomWilson lifted the cup? Pepperidge Farms remembers
Spec Is that Triple H
Spec He wouldnt be playing if the nhl and any balls.
Spec I didn’t see any of that in the first period at all. Yeah he hits hard but so do the stars. Reaves is about 2 or 3 years from retiring because he won’t be needed by teams
Spec This kind of old school on ice intimidation and intent to injure needs to be removed from game.
Spec Guy has no skills other than running his mouth and throwing some body checks, and the media wants to turn him into an impact player...I guess if CNN and Fox News can do it, so can sports media. Pretty pathetic.
Spec
Spec What a world we live in, where a poorly-skilled yet decent enforcer gets all this press because the hockey world seems to have forgotten the importance of the once-upon-a-time ubiquitous enforcer. Reaves was a nobody until he bacame the last of the dinosaurs.
Spec These Ryan Reeves stories have become unreal; he played 9:49, no pts, no SOG. What answer do they need?
Spec 9 minutes of ice time...and never wins his board battles. And Sportsnet shows his reaction on the bench all game. 🤷🏼♂️
Spec 🙄
Spec Ignore him for the 9 minutes he plays per game , don’t play his games and he’ll get asleep on the bench 💤
Spec Get a couple goal lead, no Reaves.
Spec Wow sports net with another Reaves story.
Spec
Spec Zero skill.
Spec Psssst, the series is tied. He's just another player, why the attention?
Spec
Spec Hes a 🤡
Spec Sportsnet just continuing to pump this clowns tires
Spec Concussions will do that to you
