No it's fine when Ryan Reaves does it because it's Part Of His Game. Now I finally understand why it's actually cool and good when Tom Wilson routinely tries to kill people on the ice, sure any other guy should be suspended for months but for him it's OK since attempted murder is Part Of His Game.

Seriously, we always wonder what the hell the DOPS is thinking. That is exactly and unironically what they and everyone else in hockey believes and why Tom Wilson and Ryan Reaves are genuinely heroes to them, brave knights errant, the last Real Men in hockey. It was the victimized player's coach that said that poo poo about "nah it's cool, that's just part of his game, our guy should have kept his head up".

Yeah but it was a really long shoulder check and he just kind of forgot to look back ahead while skating forwards with the puck, which is uhhh not advisable.

Not on a “what was he supposed to do!?!” Frame, but from someone who has never played, how practical is it for Reeves to hit there without putting him in hospital or is the only real option there to pull out of the hit of the defenceless player?

Yeah, well even if he doesn't extend upwards, it'll still be a nasty hit.

Guys like Reaves and Tom Wilson LOVE it when a player puts themselves in a vulnerable position because to them it's a green light to just loving slay a man and still pretend that they dont genuinely enjoy hurting people because it's clearly the fault of the person who can no longer remember their kids name anymore for not keeping their head up. Yes I am making that up in my head to get mad about it and you can't stop me!!

Hronek isn't considered a defenceless player there. He has possession of the puck and is eligible to be checked. Reaves isn't picking up speed to make contact, he just takes the center line through the body of the player. Elbow isn't extended either, that means out from the body, not tucked in, so it's not Elbowing. It's not an Illegal check to the head either because he takes the center line and they were square and front-front. If the puck wasn't there, or there were timing or angle issues with the hit, I'd be all for a good few games suspended. But there's no way to take a square hit and part of you not hit the other player's head.

If Reaves was at all talented you can stick check and probably steal the puck and attack the goalie but he's not so bam bam bash.eXXon posted:Yeah but it was a really long shoulder check and he just kind of forgot to look back ahead while skating forwards with the puck, which is uhhh not advisable. When Hronek looks forward initially Reaves looks like he's skating away from the play/possibly towards the bench then u-turns right as Hronek looks to his left. Shouldn't be doing that, but he scanned the ice before he checked over his shoulder and noone was anywhere near him otherwise. Its a weird play where Reaves seems to take himself way out of position but again its Ryan Reaves, and Hronek should be aware that he's gonna get out of position to run guys.

It's crazy that Reaves is even in the NHL still, there's basically no true goons left. Was it a legal hit? Maybe, but most players don't make those hits nowadays, and if they do it's not so obviously malicious. His entire job is to try and hurt people because he sucks poo poo at hockey, everyone understands that. Tom Wilson gets a lot of hate too, but at least that guy can play and contribute to a team beyond just headhunting.

Even though there aren’t really any more huge Scott Stevens 90’s style open ice hits in hockey anymore (which is good,) as someone that grew up watching it I cringed so hard when Hronek literally turns his head around exorcist style to look who’s behind him as he skates the puck up the middle of the ice. gently caress Ryan Reaves for throwing that hit at a guy that didn’t see him coming. Hronek was having a breakout season in Detroit too (24pts in 29 games)

Hronek's explanation (via Lalonde) is that he thought a delayed penalty had been called and was looking to see when his goalie would head to the bench. Chiarot did come in high on Reaves later in retaliation for another hit, leading to a fight: https://twitter.com/RyanHanaWWP/status/1603202551989829632

I'm not gonna get into whether it was legal like that, but I enjoy big open ice hits. They're part of the game and so long as you're not looking to crush a guy's skull or leaping into it they're a legitimate hockey play. 90% of the time they don't work and the hitter just throws themselves out of position, but I like that there's an element of risk to guys trying to skate it up the middle over and over. I am very happy the goons are gone though. It happened pretty suddenly too. How many are even left league wide? 3?

If you're talking about a player who can't really play but is on the ice for the sole purpose of trying to hurt people, I think Reaves is the last full time punchman. There are a few others that bounce up from the minors a few times a year for Rivalry Games or whatever bullshit. Otherwise it's guys like Wilson and Scheifle and Trouba, etc., who regularly take runs but are in the lineup because they can play.

Lol, it's a dirty hit without him extending out and upward to intentionally try and cause brain damage. gently caress Reaves and any team that employs his reckless rear end. Also gently caress the NHL and George Parros. The gently caress kind of rear end in a top hat puts a violent goon on charge of player safety?

That Reaves hit is one I would always try and line up in the NHL video games, but horrific to still see happen to a human. If he has to blow a guy up, should have gone for a hip check instead of extending through his dome.

Hopefully there's nothing lingering.
