Five Games for Reeves

The longer the suspension, the better for the Leaves... that thug is a slug!

Really though, it should have been longer given the fact they're trying to eliminate headshots...

I didn’t think the hit was as obviously dirty as Jeannot on Boeser. But it was a reckless and poorly timed hit. Appropriate (and expected) given the history of the player. I would have been OK with 3 games.

The extra 2 games are to satisfy the BLM crowd…

This was clearly a case of "black on black violence" though, no?

That’s racial profiling Doc.

Yes I know, but I forgave you...

This link shows a still image of the point of contact on the Reaves/Nurse hit…..

Nurse is 6’4” and Reaves 6’2”. Reaves is on his skates and yet his shoulder is squarely in line with Nurse’s head.

Poorly timed hit by a dumb 4th liner. Poor positioning by an equally dumb 3rd pairing puck carrier.

At least 4 inches on Nurses head is that conical protrusion

Story on the web today that 5 yr old Bedard was in the Garage stands for a game and after a Kesler goal the guy sitting behind Bedard jump up and spilled hi beer all over the kid sitting in front of him. Bedard gets home and Mom asks why he stinks of beer the washes the kid's jersey.

Turns out the beer spiller was Bieksa's brother.

Dude, stick to the Catholic pre-marriage system.
Blowjobs and anal. It's way cheaper than dumping her and her baby.

Ovechkin likely sidelined for a while. Broken fibula after an incidental leg on leg with McBain. Not a weight bearing bone, but I can’t see him back playing full contact hockey for at least 3 months.

He was ripping it up too!

If Gretzky’s record is to be toppled this year it will be the single greatest scoring feat in the past 20 years.

Was there particular teams of interest other than Winnipeg and Pittsburgh, or is this just an in general?
