Ryan Reaves has always been known for speaking his mind in every team he played for. Heading into Game 5 of the first round this provides a fresh perspective compared to what Maple Leafs fans are used to. He first spoke about the team's mentality and psyche heading into the game.
While Ryan Reaves does still have full belief in his squad he admits something does need to change. He feels there needs to be more desperation in the Maple Leafs play in what is now an elimination game.
Finally he spoke about the altercation that took place between Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, and William Nylander on the bench during Game 4.
Despite the fighting between teammates, Ryan Reaves feels there is no cause for concern. He feels the team is as connected as ever and the guys are still all on the same page.
For the sake of the Toronto Maple Leafs season, they need Ryan Reaves to be right about the state of the locker room and mental state of the team. With Auston Matthews questionable for tonight's game every player needs to be locked in to do whatever is needed to keep the series going.
