Ryan Reaves Caught in a Massive Lie
Ryan Reaves faced a lot of criticism from the media for not standing up for Timothy Liljegren after he was a victim of a dirty play by Brad Marchand.
Now, things took a turn for the worse.
Marchand Injures Liljegren with Dirty Play
Last Thursday, Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand slew footed Leafs defenseman Timothy Liljegren, sending him hard into the boards and forcing him out of the game.
Later, it was announced that Liljegren would be placed on the LTIR (long-term injured reserve) after he suffered a high ankle sprain.
After the scene, the lack of response from the Leafs was widely criticized. GM Brad Treliving had acquired significant physicality in Ryan Reaves, Tyler Bertuzzi, and Max Domi, but none of them stood up for their injured teammate.
Reaves Caught Lying to the Media
Ryan Reaves explained that he didn't do anything to Marchand because the Bruins had the last change and they weren't on the ice at the same time.
However, it was later revealed that Reaves did, in fact, have two shifts after the hit where both he and Marchand were on the ice together.
It is now evident that he had two opportunities to hold Marchand accountable for injuring Liljegren.
Now, we will have to wait and see if Reaves responds in the Leafs' next game against the Bruins or if he continues to fail to fulfill the role he was brought to Toronto to perform.
