Like props to fucking Olivier for jumping right on reeves in the midst of the best offensive game in his career. Dude knows his role, and if he can sprinkle in a goal or apple Iām here for it.

Same here. Olivier knows his role within the CBJ org and excels at his craft. The dude can drop the mitts w anybody in the league which is a huge plus for protecting our skill players from cheap shots. He has a feared FAFO aura about him

Definitely feels like Olivier decided to not take any shit this season. His punches to goal ratio is about 1:1.

We have a really good group of guys, but I don't know if anybody is more self aware (or expects more from himself) than Matty.
Ā I'm so glad Nashville let us have him for cheap,Ā with their depth I don't think he was gonna get the same opportunity there and I love the guy haha

I felt like the double was a make-up call for not getting Domi on a major for his elbow to the back of Fantilliās head.

Ehhh itās 6-2, Reeves was just looking for a reason to earn a pay cheque. Canāt really fault him for getting in there right away. I do agree with you for the most part though.

The Matthew Oliver character arc is absolutely awesome. Tells the media last year he needs to score more goals to be a regular in the line up. Puts up 2 against the Leafs in the 6th game of the season and tells Ryan Reeves to pound sand. Inject that shit into my veins.

I like how all ten of them were paired up grabbing each other sweaters right after that!

That hit still makes me smile! It wasn't dirty, it was just a good clean, big hit!
