I don't think Reaves is completely to blame for the 4th line woes, but it's tough to say he wasn't part of the problem now that the 4th line isn't bleeding goals and has actually scored now too.
He eventually didn't even bodycheck anymore, much less fight. Reaves just got absorbed into the Leafs curl away no-hitter system and collected a paycheck for not working. Trade him to Pittsburgh.

I would suit up Reaves only vs teams that have tough guys that may try and bully us.

Why? He doesn't fight. I honestly don't know if that's his choice or a team choice but it makes no sense to have him at all if he's not a physical presence. A 40 year old defenseman that doesn't usually fight gave our best fight effort of the season tonight. I'm actually still pumped over that and I bet the team is too.

I really hope stringing together a few wins isn't equated to benching Reaves. The forwards deserve to be 12-2 right now even with Reaves

And everyone’s “playing taller” with Reaves far far away from the ice. Almost as if his presence does less than nothing in any regard other than making special Brad giggle in the press box when he flexes.

I don’t think there’s a correlation there. Not in that way, at least.

But something has happened. My money is on Keefe instructing players to back each other up and stand up for each other.

Maybe reaves even had something to say like ‘I can’t protect everyone by myself, you guys gotta back me up too. Let’s all this together’

Gotta be tough for one guy to want to play tough and no one else is interested
