"It's a lot, but at the same time I get it too. They've come down hard on hits to the head. It's not like Reavo tried to hit him in the head. It's just a tough play. Tough play."
"... his type of game, sometimes things happen. It's not like he's a dirty player. He's not a dirty player. He's a clean player, in my opinion, for his role, & there was no intention of him doing that, it just happened."
"It's an unfortunate situation. Getting to know Reavo, it's definitely not his intention to hurt anybody," Matthew Knies said.
" Guys are playing hard. I don't think he was trying to finish high like that. I know he wasn't. He's just playing hard, trying to get through guys, trying to win a hockey game. Sometimes, you clip a guy the wrong way," Bobby McMann explained.
"You never like to see that. You really don't," Mitch Marner concluded
Hopefully, Reaves is able to learn from this and subsequently move on. He still has five games to serve, but they will go by quickly.
