I thought that the objective was to win a hockey game. Do you really believe that Vegas will now go out of their way to hurt players?  Not the best strategy for winning a cup. They’re mad about crapping the bed and this game was out of hand, so yeah, they took their runs at the Avs.

Next game it will be back to business as usual.

Right?  I'm glad you get it.

You’re funny.  You think guys like Reeves kneeling on Graves’ head aren’t trying to hurt them?  You think guys dropping the gloves and face punching aren’t trying to hurt the other guy?  You think guys catching a guy with his head down with a hard hit (and a bit high like what Graves’ did) aren’t trying to hurt the other guy?  This is my concern.  The Avs will go through and play the Leafs, a series they should easily win, but they lose because a key top player (or two) were injured in This Vegas series.  And it all started with that stupid Graves’ hit.  I personally wanted the Avs to win this series in a pillow fight.  Then they destroy the Leafs.

Oh man, can you imagine if it's Vegas vs. Toronto?  Lose lose situation for me.

Hockey 101. Don’t overplay your cheapshot artists against skilled teams that will destroy you when you get caught out of position. 
I am glad that the Avs aren’t afraid to lay on the body from time to time.

 

If you don’t hit Vegas they are not going to suddenly be nice guys and not punish you. You did see how they pushed our favourite team around last year. 
 

FWIW your take on the Leafs :lol:. They might be golfing by Tuesday. Leafs-Avs is the stuff of Fever dreams.

I have to disagree with you on that one...  I actually thought that Vegas stuck to mostly playing hockey against us except for the cheap hit on Motte by Reaves.  I mean there was lots of chirping, but they didn't really try and take our guys out as much as they've done in some other series. 

 

One more thing, when people talk about getting a tough guy on the team, in my mind it doesn't really matter if it's not a guy that can keep up with guys like Reaves and Lucic.  There's only 4-5 of them around the league, otherwise I wouldn't even bother.

The Avs sure play an entertaining style of hockey. Kadri would return to the lineup if this series goes the distance. Wonder how his presence would have raised the temperature in tonight’s game.

DeBoer mentioned after the game the reason they went with Lehner in Game 1 was because Fleury was coming off a series playing seven games in 14 days. I think the logical sense would be to go with a rested Fleury in Game 2.


Oh of course! Sorry  I misread your post and thought you meant they were starting Lehner again...

What Reaves did is criminal in nature.  Putting a knee to someone's neck as they lay on the ground and making them go unconscious can be life threatening.  We already know this from the George Floyd incident.  That is not a hockey play, that is an attempt to injure or worse, putting another player's life on the line.

 

And the irony is everyone in the NHL supported Reaves, Dumba and the other black players in solidarity after the Floyd incident and now Reaves literally does exactly what the cop did.  So are we supposed to believe Reaves is sincere in trying to fix the problem of systemic racism, or is he just a plain thug and criminal who needs to be behind bars?

 

Bertuzzi was charged criminally for his actions.  I believe if Graves suffers any type of life changing injury Reaves should be charged as well and Graves should go after Reaves, Sutherland, the Vegas coach, the Vegas organization and the NHL.  Exactly what Moore did.

 

At the very minimum Reaves should receive the same punishment as Bertuzzi.  He should be suspended indefinitely.
