Blackhawks WC looks atrocious to me. Like a Chinese fanatics knockoff

Reaves just annihilated Darnell Nurse. I'd say he'll get 3+ games suspension.

It was an east-west hit right on the head, so for sure a punishment on Reeves.

Very dirty hit and I hope Nurse is ok. His eyes rolled to the back of his head.

David Jiricek, who we lost as part of the Jones deal, probably being sent down to the AHL. Another notch in the adage of "whoever gets the best player in the trade wins the trade". That's Jiricek, Sillinger, and Boqvist for Jones IIRC and despite Jones struggles he is by far the best player in the deal with no signs of either Jiricek or Sillinger breaking out into top line players.

Just saw the Reaves hit and dear god, that's probably the worst hit I've seen since Mike Richards on David Booth or Matt Cooke on Savard. Just pure intent to injure (or if not, pure stupidity of such a level, you're probably too dangerous to play hockey).

Reaves had him lined up for literally seconds before the hit, and obviously wanted to crush him. I don’t think he was necessarily head hunting the entire play, but that was the result and it absolutely deserves a suspension. At the same time Nurse was out for a skate with his head down the entire time. Just a bad combo.

Nurse is 6'4 without skates on, it takes effort to even reach that guy's head with your shoulder.

Oh yeah, no doubt. Not to mention Reaves coming in with a target on you at 230 lbs or whatever. Nasty play.
