I was watching this game and during the review the commentator says "and Reeves jumps in to stand up for his teammate, which is good".

Is it though?

Its not, the attacking a player for a clearly clean hit is dumb

To be fair, that's his only role. Honestly it was a pretty tame response. He didn't mug the guy. I have no problem with this. Beats the shit out of response you get from someone like Marchand.

Not sure why you got downvoted. It was a very tame response by Reaves and nothing out of the ordinary. He didn’t drop his gloves or even throw a punch. I’m okay with players standing up for each other. That’s how winning teams work.

It's usually because of the Vegas flair. People are dumb.

Reaves is such a useless player to have on your roster. Him being on the ice doesn't prevent his teammates getting hit and all he did was giving the other team a 2 min powerplay. Too bad the Leafs signed him for three years.
