From the Athletic:

Ryan Reaves drew a lot of attention (and the Leafs player of the game honours) for his physical play and fight on Saturday. What should be more in focus is how one-sided the play was when Reaves was on the ice. Shot attempts were 18-2 in the Wild’s favour when he was out there. The fourth line as a whole was badly outplayed.

But, more importantly, what do HB forum posters think? Nobody cares about the Athletic.

Bedard is sporting some decent fantasy value so far.
- GalacticStone


He’s already tied up with Mario when it comes to how many games he starts his first season getting a point with at 3, he is the 10th 1st overall pick to do it, here’s where it stands right now:

Alex Ovechkin (eight), Alexandre Daigle (seven), Sidney Crosby (six), Eric Lindros (five), Billy Harris (three), Dale McCourt (three), Mario Lemieux (three), John Tavares (three), Nathan MacKinnon (three), Connor Bedard (three)

So far Matthews has 2 hat tricks in 2 games with reaves in the line up.

just like when he was with the Rangers; he's pretty f'n far from a great hockey player, but he might be one of the greatest locker room guys ever...!

I think it’s pretty safe to say Reaves isn’t there for his talent.

Hoping the 4th line gets better defensively though, currently it’s just the “rusty” excuse so they should right?

A fight is never useless. It gets the talent on the team ramped up.

Agreed, also hoping Reaves buys Bennett a round later this week.

If it goes down for good, it’s been a privilege posting with all of you. Until then, (frank) you losers.

I think hes more useful than what simmonds was his last 2 seasons and what clifford brought.

Its only been 2 games, the newbies will find their legs and place soon enough.

This is the leafs forum, we can drag on the "rusty" excuse as long as we darn well please!!


Also, nice to someone finish a check.
