Reaves happened to catch defenceman Filip Hronek with his head down and going up the middle of the ice. He made him pay by running him over. Hronek had no idea what hit him until he was on the ice with his head in his hands. There was no call on the play, and that appears to be the right call in this situation. Here are a couple of different angles.
