When the Toronto Maple Leafs signed Ryan Reaves, the fan base was excited as was the organization. Reaves one of the toughest players in the National Hockey League up to this point signalled one thing, they won't be pushed around.
Early in the season outside of the first 2 games where he fought, Reaves hasn't been a factor. Tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Maple Leaf head coach Sheldon Keefe sent a message to Reaves by benching him; take a look.
Reaves, 36, signed a 3 year contract in the off-season worth 1.35 million per and if this is any indication, it could be a long 3 years. His last shift came 7:59 left in the second and he played just 4:32.
