You do realize the new coach Berube fought every goon in the NHL during the golden age of enforcers right? Including beating up his boss Shanahan and Max's Dad when he was at his most dangerous. He will be quite pleased to be able to have a body like Reaves sitting in the press box in case he needs to deploy him when the time comes.
People are going to be so upset when they see Berube coach... we are not turning into the Leafs of the early 2010s.
Also, do people think that just because you fought in the NHL or were a pest you will build a team or coach that way?
Shanahan and Keefe are both examples of that not being a rule.
My theory is that no one respected Lilijgren's spot in the lineup at the time to take action. He's not Matthews which Domi was right to take an instigator for and he's bottom pairing taking vets iceitme. This is a valid point but you don't stand up for spare parts early in the season. Reaves took his flack and stepped up his game.
Reaves selectively protects players and deters people?
This one is new.
