The concept of Ryan Reaves acting as either a deterrent or an avenger was once again exposed as one of the NHL’s greatest myths.
The concept of Ryan Reaves acting as either a deterrent or an avenger was once again exposed as one of the NHL’s greatest myths when No. 75 sat idly by when Toronto teammate Timothy Liljegren was injured by Brad Marchand’s patented can-opener move toward the end of the first period in Boston on Thursday.
Reaves will fight … if he has been personally aggrieved. But teammates? Not so much. That should have been established for all time when Reaves did not deign to respond to P.K. Subban’s reckless, slew-footish takedown of Sammy Blais at the Garden in mid-November 2021 that ruined the winger’s nascent career. There was nothing to see there just as there was nothing to see in Boston.
If seeing were not believing, it would be impossible to believe that the NHL had put such inept folks such as Stephen Walkom and George Parros in charge of officiating and on-ice discipline, respectively. Old-time hockey guys, both on and behind the bench and in the broadcast booth, always attempted to attach a stigma to players who first wore helmets and then wore visors. That’s a core reason the NHLPA was so resistant to mandating advanced protective equipment.
