Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Ryan Reaves is currently in the midst of serving a five-game suspension for his hit on Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse.
This is a hit that has proven to be extremely controversial in the hockey world as of late.
Mostly because some people think that Nurse was completely at fault for what went down.
However, in some spicy comments that were made on Thursday, Nurse put all of the blame on Reaves. Essentially, he thinks Reaves could have him anywhere, yet still went for the head.
"There's lots of body on a 6'4" hockey player to hit and not one piece was touched other than my head."
According to David Alter of the Hockey News, Jordan Reaves, Ryan's brother, took exception to the comments made by Nurse and decided to clap back.

Considering everything that Reaves is going through right now, it probably isn't smart for his brother to speak out like this.
However, you have to appreciate the fact that his brother is sticking up for what he believes in.
Not to mention, there are plenty of hockey fans who actually agree with Jordan and his assessment of the situation.
Having said all of that, Reaves still has four games left to serve.
The next game is on Sunday, and the Leafs are in the midst of a hot streak. Only time will tell whether or not they can keep this momentum going.
