He's been addled by what he's seen.

Yup, He's fine, at least he looked to be skating OK.

Reaves was having a great old time out there tonight.

We laid down like whipped dogs.

Sorry Chef. Roussell was embarrassing with his playing the bad guy shit. Not the way to do it.

He's a pest, what would you have him do?

Called it.

And Wids asked for it.

Back it up a wee bit more. Have a fight. Take someone important with you. Oh, he tried but they weren't going to have any of it.
Fuckers were laughing at the bench.

Not next game.

I thought Roussel was fine. Trying to be a distraction to get the goalie off his game, or trying to draw a penalty was fine. His misconduct for hugging was a joke, and shows how much reputation dictates penalties with some referees. But Reaves is a beauty. Not much you can do physically with him. Really wanted the Canucks to sign him when he was a FA. I like MacEwen, but when they were saying he is the only one that could go against Reaves, they were giving the kid too much credit. He’s tough, but not in the same league as Reaves and would just get hurt or embarrassed. The only way to get Reaves off the ice is to scare them with crisp passing and speed that breaks their forecheck and forces Reaves to play too much defence in his own end. The Canucks didn’t have either tonight.

Did Roussel seriously get a 10 min misconduct for hugging?!??

When the Knights are trailing, Reaves doesn't get much icetime (8 minutes or so).

Tonight he got almost 15 minutes, only once all season/playoffs did he get more than that.

This is great, it almost takes the sting out of getting beat 5-0

Really hoping MacEwen isn't in there against Reaves next game.

Zach isn't really that tough.
