Confirmed with Link: Ryan Reaves suspended 5 games

[MCR74]

I thought it would be a game or two.

5 Seems more than necessary but I guess George makes the big bucks for a reason. They probably watched the play from the bench to the hit and determined it was predatory, I don't know.

Imagine if one of our guys had put George out to the point where he's out for the night. Oh wait...

It caused some pretty severe brain damage apparently.

I’m not a Nurse or Reaves fan so I’m not disappointed.

Both teams got better too

I was tempted to say the same thing.

Not a Reaves fan however also not a fan of the continuing NHL double standard. Open season on the Leafs but we better be clean as a damn whistle.


And even then.....

 

[MCR74]

l wonder if the main shit thread will hit multiple parts like Morgan's beauty hit last season.

 

[PromisedLand]

Oh welll..... Paross is a pos. Was expecting a suspension but add in additional crap because you wear a Leaf jersey

 

[Leafsfan74]

You actually thought George Parros was going to give Reeves a game or two suspension?

I believe in fair and blind justice, so yes, that's what I believed he would receive.

Wowzers. Well be prepared for unfair and visually able justice, whilst George Parros holds the role.

I agree the refs have been terrible against the leafs. Been like that for forever it seems.
Same thing with rulings. example the Kadri suspension .

The NHL goes out of its way to not show one ounce of bias go the leafs way .

But we don’t get worse with the suspension unlike most others we have had so that’s a plus here

 

[crump]

Sounds about right for Parros. Never mind the Jeannot hit in terms of severity and length of suspension. Parros is a shithead.

Steeves gets in I guess unless Matthews is back next game.

Have a good rest Reaves.

I believe the Leafs have been on the power play more than they have been on the PK this season.

Suspensions, I would agree. Seems to be some real hate from Parros. Not suprised though considering what happened to him

 

[Jay Harris]

I didn’t think the hit was all that bad in my opinion. You have a 3rd string D man in nurse that makes almost $10 million a year coming around the net with his head down looking at his skate laces.

If that was Matthews coming around the net like that and nurse had the opportunity to hit him, he would absolutely take it. I do not feel bad for him at all. 10 million a season, keep your head up.

Sorry this is a terrible take.
If Nurse hit Matthews like that I bet you would be screaming murder ... And rightfully so.
Hits like that has NO place ... Doesn't matter who throws it or who receives it.
Hits like that can shorten or end careers.

Post better than that man.

 

[Menzinger]

I don't really have an issue here expect I'd wish dpos was more willing to give out hasher penalities far more often than they do currently,. especially with other teams

I'm pretty sure the geniuses on the main board would call it a "hockey play".

Stick to your own forum man.

 

[HolyCrap]

Yup. I’m also pretty sure if a Leafs fan posted in the Oilers forum they would have a longer suspension than Reeves.

Yep. It's cute that Oil fans think they can post here, but God forbid we wander over there.

This is not the main board, I will not comply with your leaf hating agenda. If the shoe was on the other foot, your fan base would be calling it a clean hockey play. Probably not the best place for you to come and impose your opinion.

Perhaps McDavid should have got a suspension for his dirty slew foot on Tavares.

And the main boards would say it is 100% a clean hit. It is what it is.

Best not to post on the Leafs board though.

If only we had moderators who wouldn't permit trolling on our board (like all other boards on HF).

That's a hockey play from the greatest player in the history of the sport. You didn't know?

 

[PanniniClaus]

Nurse must have said something earlier in the game. Reaves normally just collects his cheque with a few smiles, and a wink. Maybe a laugh or two..

Won't be missed one bit.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Honestly thought it’d be more. Guess Parros couldn’t decide between his hatred of the Leafs and his love for fellow enforcers.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Good riddance
