Ryan Reaves' Role Against the Philadelphia Flyers Has Been Revealed
Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Ryan Reaves is in the lineup against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight and fans are interested to see what he will do.
After multiple healthy scratches in a row, the Maple Leafs have put Ryan Reaves in the lineup as they look to rematch against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight.
Ryan Reaves given an opportunity against the Philadelphia Flyers
Of course, this decision comes on the heels of Jake McCabe's injury at the hands of Garnet Hathaway.
There are many who believe Hathaway deserves some form of retribution and with Reaves returning to the lineup, the assumption is that there will be a fight.
While speaking to the media, Leafs head coach Craig Berube spoke about Reaves' promotion, noting that it's all about physicality.
«I just wanted a bigger and more physical lineup tonight. I just think going off last game, too, and Reavo's been out a few games, so I wanted to get him back in. There were some pretty big hits last game. Just gotta be prepared and kind of wanted to go with a more physical and heavier lineup tonight.»
Reaves has not actually fought this season, so it is up in the air whether or not he would actually go toe to toe with Hathaway.
Having said that, tonight's game is going to be very interesting, regardless of what ends up happening.
The Maple Leafs are on a four-game winning streak and they are trying to run up the score in the Atlantic Division.
Meanwhile, the Flyers are a team that are well outside of a playoff spot and fans are expecting the team to start performing.
Needless to say, you couldn't have been gifted a more compelling rematch for tonight.
