Ryan Reaves decided to make news for all the wrong reasons this weekend.<\/p>\n

He delivered a brutal blow to Darnell Nurse\u2019s head, and the images are chilling.<\/p>\n

Especially when you see Nurse\u2019s head banging on the ice after the blow:<\/em><\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t seen the Ryan Reaves check on Darnell Nurse.
Huge impact to the head.

<\/inj-p><\/p>\n

The NHL has decided to act on the matter by suspending Ryan Reaves for a total of five games.<\/p>\n

Not enough in my opinion, but hey. I don\u2019t work for the NHL. <\/em><\/p>\n

But when Craig Berube saw his player being criticized on social networks for his disgusting hit, he came to Ryan Reaves\u2019 defense.<\/p>\n

And the Leafs\u2019 coach sounds crazy: he said he doesn\u2019t think Reaves is a dirty player.<\/p>\n

\n

He\u2019s not a sneaky player. In my opinion, he\u2019s a clean player. \u2013 Craig B\u00e9rub\u00e9<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Oh, right! I forgot\u2026<\/p>\n

According to B\u00e9rub\u00e9, it\u2019s \u201cnot like Reaves wants to hit him in the head\u201d.<\/p>\n

Is the Leafs coach blind? I\u2019m asking for a friend\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/inj-p><\/p>\n

If not, maybe he should go see an optometrist for an eye exam! <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/inj-p><\/p>\n

I will always respect a coach who comes to the defense of his player.<\/p>\n

But perhaps B\u00e9rub\u00e9 should have taken the opportunity to avoid that comment.<\/p>\n

Ryan Reaves isn\u2019t a bastard player, but this is already the fourth suspension of his career. Right\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n

After all, this isn\u2019t the first time we\u2019ve seen him act like a caveman<\/em> on the ice. Here\u2019s a good example:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Bob Pompeani (@KDPomp) May 29, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Craig B\u00e9rub\u00e9 wasn\u2019t about to throw his player under the bus. His club still managed to win against the Oilers, regardless.<\/p>\n

But on the other hand\u2026 It\u2019s illogical to see him defending a player whose reputation is well established.<\/p>\n

Ryan Reaves has been in the NHL for almost 15 years and he\u2019s never changed his style\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
