Ryan Reaves comes through with classy move after brutal Darnell Nurse hit
If one thing is for certain about this entire ordeal, it is that Reaves is actually quite apologetic about all of it.
Following last night's game, it was reported by Elliotte Friedman that Reaves went out of his way to go and say sorry to Nurse. He even went to the
Edmonton Oilers locker room to do it.
Ryan Reaves was apologetic to Darnell Nurse
"Ryan Reaves went towards Edmonton room for a face-to-face apology during the third period. We await the NHL's decision on supplemental discipline."
Having said that, it currently remains to be seen whether or not the Reaves suspension will be a lengthy one.
Based on the type of hearing he is going to have, the maximum length of the suspension is five games, although we suspect that it won't actually be for that long given the nature of the hit.
Quite frankly we have seen much worse around the National Hockey League over the years. It would absolutely be overkill if Reaves got something over three games.
