Reaves is a 13th forward at this point. If the Rangers want to get grittier adding Reaves is well a lot like putting a bandaid on a gaping head wound. Hell they just shipped off their most physical forward that can actually play big minutes to us.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Fri Jul 30, 2021 7:24 amTom Wilson single handedly ruined the Rangers franchise and they had absolutely no answer for it. He took a guys head off and then his team beat up the entire Rangers team. It was one of the most embarrassing moments for a hockey team. Not sure where you’re getting Reaves and can’t skate or hit from.ratonmono wrote: Thu Jul 29, 2021 10:21 pmLoved Reaves but that's hilarious. He literally will have zero impact on the Rangers on ice and won't scare Wilson. Teams don't need protection from bullies they need to find more physically aggressive players that can skate and hit.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Thu Jul 29, 2021 9:11 pm Rangers are done being pushed around. Hi Tom Wilson
When is the last time a team had as many suspensions during a playoff run as our 2019 Blues? We had no enforcer but Maroon, Barby, Sunny, Blais, Schenn would run through the opposition.
What I’m saying is that this isn’t the nhl where an enforcer has the kind of impact they did in the old days. Reaves will not do anything to counter Wilson. Reaves did nothing to counter him while Reaver was a Pen.
The Rangers want to avoid getting pushed around, then get guys who can play big minutes that actually do the pushing. Right now the Rangers are the hunted, they added a deterrent but what they need to be doing is adding guys that allow them to go on the hunt.
