It only took a little over two and a half minutes into the first period of the Ottawa/Vegas game for Ryan Reaves to make his presence felt.
Scott Sabourin (the guy who made Auston Matthews famous) and Reaves were exchanging unpleasantries before the faceoff outside of the Vegas d-zone on Thursday evening, when Sabourin appears to take a swipe at Reaves' foot, causing the big winger to stumble momentarily, but what happens next will give you chills. Reaves ever so calmly shakes off his right glove, lays his stick down and removes his other glove, adjusting his sleeves before we see a tentative Sabourin approach Reaves, looking like he realizes how big of a mistake he just made answering the bell. The rest can be seen below...
For anyone in the NHL looking to make a name for himself, this video should serve as a fair notice not to try and make your name off of dropping the mitts with Ryan Reaves.
