Known for his bruising size and heavy fists, Ryan Reaves has endeared himself as this Maple Leafs' rendition of Tie Domi; minus the household name value. He's going to be a big part of the Leafs if he can shutdown and intimidate the other pests in the league and tell them to stay away from the stars.
Well, Donovan Sebrango of the Ottawa Senators didn't learn his lesson apparently; dropping the mitts with Reaves after hitting him from behind. A lesson the 22-year old won't forget anytime soon.
It really wasn't a fair bout, as Reaves has a distinct reach advantage, and simply bullied Sebrango to the ground before officials broke it up. Sebrango, who came over in the Alex Debrincat trade to Detroit is going to need to learn who to annoy in the league, and he should probably stay away from Reaves who often finds himself scrapping with big named enforcers throughout the league. If Reaves wanted to gain the attention of his new head coach, he's certainly got it now.
