Ryan Reaves decided to make headlines for the wrong reasons this weekend.
He delivered a violent blow to Darnell Nurse’s head and the images send shivers down your spine.
Especially when we see Nurse’s head hit the ice after the shot:
The NHL has decided to take action in the matter by suspending Ryan Reaves for a total of five games.
It’s not enough in my opinion, but hey. I don’t work for the NHL.
But there, seeing that his player was being criticized on social networks because of his disgusting shot, Craig Berube came to the defense of Ryan Reaves.
And the Leafs coach looks crazy: he said that in his opinion, Reaves is not a scumbag player.
He is not a sneaky player. In my opinion he is a clean player. –Craig Berube
Oh yes! I forgot…
According to Berube, it’s “not like Reaves wanted to hit him in the head.”
Is the Leafs coach blind? I’m asking the question for a boyfriend…
If not, maybe he should go see an optometrist for an eye exam!
I will always respect a coach who comes to his player’s defense.
But here, Berube should perhaps have taken advantage of the opportunity to avoid that comment.
Ryan Reaves is not a scumbag player, but this is already the fourth suspension of his career. Right…
After all, it’s far from the first time we’ve seen him make the cellar on the ice. This example is a good one:
Craig Berube wasn’t about to throw his player under the bus. His club still managed to win against the Oilers, despite everything.
But on the other hand… It is illogical to see that he is defending a player whose reputation is well established.
Ryan Reaves has been in the NHL for almost 15 years and he has never changed his style…
In burst
– Stankoven is having quite a season.
– Hum…
– Sick.
– It’s going to be tough This evening. 5-1 Oilers.
