Ryan Reaves hit on Darnell Nurse. 5 min major + ejected (upd. Suspended 5 games)

[v00d00daddy]

Assume Reaves had tough words in the post-game interview as well.

Parros’ grudge against the Leafs is the most transparent thing in the league

Rather weird thing to say after this one, lmao

Life lesson: You can hate the act without hating the person.

Reaves may be a nice guy off the ice, however he's being suspended for his dangerous actions on the ice.

The woe is us, "everybody is against us" attitude by my fellow Leafs fans is really nauseating. You think somebody will give us sympathy or something? It makes us look so good, though. Please, keep it up. Jesus Christ.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Is it really a Leaf tax, though? Reaves had three priors, while Jeannot had none.

I believe they only look at the last 18 months for repeat offender status, but correct me if I'm wrong.

You’re defining him as a plug and that he wouldn’t be in the nhl if not for fighting…

I guess you don’t care that he hasn’t fought once this year and Berube still chooses to play him.

I didn’t expect much from him as a leafs fan and now I’m more often than not pleasantly surprised when he’s on with Lorentz and Kampf. Reaves actually contributes.

I don’t see him as a plug and if he is…he could fill a lot of holes on a lot of teams. Definitely on the oilers.

Naa the Oilers are out of spots for old, useless players.

From my understanding, the 18 months applies just to the fines levied due to the suspension. They can and will look at prior history

Fair. 90 and 53 are taking up those spots

quit doing dumb things and the media loving the leafs, then maybe

The video from DOPS specified prior suspensions and fines as one of the factors in determining the length of the suspension.

Repeate offender designation is only for/about how much money you lose as result of being suspended, anyway. Most people don't know this.

They can use your entire suspension history against you in determining the length of new suspension, doesn't matter if it was outside of the 18 months.

What’s the word on Nurse?

Was it confirmed concussion?
I mean smashing your temple on the ice

Perry has been good for us this year. It’s Ryan who is the old forgey holding us back. But also, if we drop Ryan our average drops significantly.

 

[Enga Olly]

OK, so you are spouting Leafs persecution venom...

"But judge, it's the first time I killed someone. Can't you just give me a fine ?"

Yes because DoPS and murder trials are the exact same thing and should be treated the exact same way when meting out justice

 

[Nostradumbass]

Would we see Matthews take a hit like that though? It’s highly unlikely Matthews puts himself into that position. He would see Reeves because he’d have his head up and read the play.

He would never be in that position because it involves going below the hash marks in the defensive zone.

Interesting, I had no idea

Sure, whatever you say. Maybe he hates Reaves? This hurts him more than the Leafs.

“Yea, I hate the Leafs! I am going to suspend this super important player who plays less than 10 minutes a game excessively long to stick it to them!”

Yes, the center who is annualy getting Selke votes doesn't go deep in his own end...

Selke votes from non-Toronto media?

 

[Amadeus]

I find the hit in principle very similar to the Jeanott hit and that got 3 games. Reaves is definitely suspension worthy for it and 5 is okay, but then why 3 for Tanner Jeanott?

Leaf tax!!11!

History.

 

[Harry Waters]

Luckily there are players like Reaves to police the game so that hits like these are prevented. Oh wait.

How long will it take until this argument is put to rest? Because apparently the reoccurring instances where enforcers were the ones laying exactly these hits haven't been enough. I have nothing against hitting, I have nothing against the occasional fight, I am just tired of nonsense arguments.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Selke votes from non-Toronto media?

I'd imagine some of the 115 media members that have him a 1st to 5th vote last year weren't from Toronto.

But you grasp buddy. Just keep grasping and one day you might get ahold of something that's real. Unfortunately for you that day isn't today since Matthews is well known as a very strong defensive player while being the best goal scorer in the game.
