Keep Your Head Up Tommy Tough Nuts

Yeah, I don't advocate for anyone to get hurt. Reeves shouldn't have done that late hit, but that hit was cleaner than most of the controversial hits by Tom Wilson. Reeves was CLEARLY late, but Wilson was also LOOKING RIGHT AT REEVES and then turned his head. Check out the link below at the 24 second mark. Maybe one could argue he wasn't stairing at Reeves in the eye because he was puck watching, but certainly front of the jersey @ Reeves. It was also a shoulder hit too...Karma i guess would be the best word for what happened. Reeves suspended 1 game because the intent was there AND it was a late hit, but it wasn't a head hit.

Yup, sucks he got hurt. But he gets what he deserves.

This is another one of those Oshie bs plays.
Where midget Oshie tried to come in for a hit and got the worst of it and caps fans start crying.
Wilson knew where Reaves was, he thought he would "accidentally" blind side him while not looking. Too bad for him he got his block knocked off.
What did caps fans say about the devils player. He should put his helmet on tighter. Well I guess Tommy should take the same advice aye?
He put the target on his own back. This isn't the first time he's got what he deserves, and it won't be the last.

Yup. Caps fans also said ZAR needs to keep his head up and not watch the play. Maybe they should tell that to Wilson too

I thought the hit was clean. I don't think a second even comes off the clock between when Wilson makes the pass and Reaves connects with him. It was predatory but clean IMO. And certainly nice to see Wilson eat one.

Reaves post game "He ran into a lion in the jungle". Just top shelf commentary.

NHL should probably adopt some sort of 'defenceless skater' rule to take these hits away tho if they care about head injuries.
