Somebody explain Reaves to me like I'm a 5 year old

Okay, imagine you're playing a game with your toys, and one of your friends keeps taking your favorite toy. You might feel upset, right?

Now, think of the enforcer as your big buddy who makes sure no one takes your toys or plays too rough. In hockey, the enforcer helps protect the players on your team. If someone is mean or tries to hurt your best player, the enforcer steps in to stop them. They're like the superhero of the team—strong, brave, and ready to keep everyone safe, even if they don't score a lot of goals.

In theory

Good enough?

North of North looks like another CBC gem.

Boston gets that call at home every time. So does Florida. Especially if in 2nd period and no calls yet. I'd need to see it again but not sure what they are not seeing exactly.

Benoit Smash is awesome.

rubbed out a guy along the boards, follows him behind the net and ties him up letting the puck go by, then follows him to the front of the net tying up his stick and battling with the guy keeping him well out of Woll's sightline of the puck.

Just perfect

This coach makes adjustments.
Credit to him.
Keefe would not have.
It’s not an adjustment he just didn’t want it blantantly obvious that Marner gets first dibs so he let the lines be the same as yesterday ready to make the change you’ll notice when it’s the other way around he doesn’t waste anytime changing it to marners benefit not the other way around

It’s more like after someone takes your toy and breaks it, Reaves will maybe fight the guy that broke it if he feels like it and the other guy agrees to fight.

Your toy is already gone and broken though. Reaves can only fight after the damage is already done, and this season apparently not even then.

Wilson is a deterrent because he’s on the ice when the other teams stars are and has no problem running them into the boards, I don’t think Reaves could even catch up to a forward that matters for a hit if he was on the ice with a top line for some reason.

Not defending him

Just breaking it down as requested
