I watched the post game interviews and Stone handled the situation with more maturity than the coach. It was genuinely embarrassing to watch, coaches should set an example for the team. At this point I only have respect for Stone and Fleury.
Putting your knee on someone's head who is layed down flat on the ice and putting your full body weight on it as they try to squirm free isn't just intent to injure. Reaves is literally trying to kill this man, and he should never play another game in the NHL after this.
Little dramatic, intent to injure sure, but not intent to kill, that's like saying chiropractors are attempting to murder someone when the torque their neck. This should be rest of playoffs, the knee on the face as absolutely intentional and Reaves does nothing but cheap shot players
Whatcha talkin' bout? $5k fine. Avs better keep their mouths shut, too, or they'll get $250k. (Oh, and in case you didn't realize, I was being sarcastic)

@@AlphanumericCharacters I did man, looked like a clean hit though, it wasn't really late, just a split second. Janmark had the puck when graves approached but passed it in the last second. Besides, janmark was watching his pass and had his eyes on the ice rather than up.Graves finished his check. Besides even if it WAS a late hit, Reaves did go overboard.
@@AlphanumericCharacters if delivering a solid hit .67sec late is out to kill someone perhaps playoff hockey isn't your sport to watch and hence why Graves only got an interference call versus a GM
@@ChrisEightyNine for a .67 second late hit at playoff hockey speeds? Janmark didn't even keep his head up to defend himself... get the fuck outta here with that 😂
What’s amazing is that the hate for Reaves by the fans isn’t there. Wilson steps in the ice and fans explode. Reaves tries to murder someone and nobody cares
He seems to hurt alot of people, amazing how i don't see as much hate towards him compared to wilson yet this guy goes out of his way to hurt people. Wilson is just an old school player who likes to hit and is very protective of his teammates.
Not sure why the officials let Reaves be on top of Graves all that time. Where are those big linesmen who could just remove guys like Reaves, who thinks he's above every one?
@The Esquire of Sports® One of four beat downs headed your way! Lol.. just talking trash. Y'all got the AVs number right now. It's sad that this is a second round series. I hope it goes to 7.
This is the problem with the new NHL...you try to get rid of guys who play hard hitting like Scott Stevens and instead get useless goons like this guy and Wilson. Every team needs a Stevens that can wait for a guy like Reaves to line up at the blue line with a shoulder to the head for doing shit like that
A fight is understandable, that's hockey. But Reaves literally tried to kill a man. Graves hit was questionable too, Janmark had his head down and watched the pass like he was playing PeeWee house league. I've coached Squirts that know to not watch a pass and keep their head up.
@@jasselampinen8016 Newcomers? I have played for 16 years, and have coached and refereed the last 4 years. Driving your knee into someones head and twisting their head 90 degrees plus will snap someones neck almost paralyzing or killing them. No where was this clean. Reaves wasn't protecting a goalie, didn't try to start a fight, no he was out there to hurt someone because he is a waste of space just like yourself.
Not a fan of either of these teams, but is Reaves not getting any disciplinary hearing from the NHL Player Safety? I mean he could easily choke that guy. They've had some weaker decisions on some fined players but this situation was maybe the most dangerous in the whole season.
Reaves is one of the last remnants of a league long since past this sort of goonery. The time for him and Tom Wilson's of the league are coming to an end. Reaves should get the rest of the playoffs off, so for Vegas, the next 3 games will be enough.
ha! Graves thought he was such a big shot after laying out Janmark.... then came the big boy hockey....& he rolled around the ice like a little 12 yr old needing his mommy. Where did that tough guy go?!? And....of course....haven't heard much at all fr 27 is the last 3 games. lol... nut up Avs fans... it's freaking hockey.... our guy still hasn't returned to the ice after that cheap shot by cryin' #27.
This is going to be a lengthy vacation for reeves. No way he’s back for the playoffs after this one. You can literally break someone’s neck doing that and pressing your knee on their face while weighing 200+ pounds. Those knee pads are also rock solid.
And yet Tom Wilson acts like a madman throwing Panarin around and punching a guy in the head against the ice and he wasn’t even suspended for a game… I’m not a fan of either of these teams so I’m not defending Reaves I’m just saying that it’s a joke how Reaves might get a suspension when Tom Wilson was given a fine
I wonder what Nemeth was saying to reaves after he was leaving. looks like reaves was still tryna say something .. looks like nemeth is sayung '' get tf outta here , he;s already hurt"'
It's obvious to me that the people on here that have no problem with what Reeves did likes a team that sucks. Do you watch basketball to see fouls or a powerful dunk on someone? Do you watch baseball to see a home run or see someone get walked? Do watch football for a 70 yd td pass or a four and out series? I could go on and on. Hockey is fast and getting faster every year. I want to see speed and goals scored period. If the nhl wants to carry on they need to keep it fast and let superstars score goals not let big goons skate around and contribute nothing but slowing down.a game I love.
Imagine the mental gymnastics you have to do to be his teammate and try to defend his actions. I can hear the tough guys now saying "Thats Hockey!" but it definitely isnt. Like literally nobody backs this shit.
Knocked the goalie in the back of the head with his stick, then grabbed Graves and yanked him to the ice, then basically ground his knee into the guy's face.
@@aleks2718 I think the blood was from when he was gouging at his eyes with one hand while kneeling on his neck and head. It took me awhile to spot but it would make sense
Reaves avenging the Graves hit on Janmark earlier is normal and one reason why Reaves is popular with every guy who plays with him. And frankly, to have any chance of winning the cup you have to play tough, tough hockey and take no crap.
Let me say that I have no problem with going after Graves for his earlier hit, but come on Reeves... drop the gloves and punch the shit out of the guy! No need for shit like that!
@@salmoncheese6843 shouldn't have to answer to bell for janmark having his head down, reaves is a cancer to the sport, brings absolutely nothing positive to hockey
@@HunterMagunter do you play hockey? Or ever played hockey? He didn’t have his head down he didn’t have the puck and was looking backwards. As well it was a penalty and he had to answer for it. It’s hockey, Perry accidentally hit Johnny and answered for it because he’s not a coward
It’s tough having Reaves on your team. If he were just to play hockey like he did the first three shifts of the game I wouldn’t be complaining but it’s like every night figuring out when he’s gonna fuck us next. And those who defend him here in Vegas just think he’s handsome. Not much else to it

what a stupid take comparing this to Floyd lol, go to your room and rethink your shit bud
Some of the Knights must be ashamed to be Reaves's teammate. Real bad look buddy, enjoy watching the rest of the series from your couch and be thankful it's not a jail cell.
I bet they are all high fiving him after the game, fucking goon squad.
@@Lukeee91 exactly I hate Vegas I'm glad they lost in the finals
I watched the post game interviews and Stone handled the situation with more maturity than the coach. It was genuinely embarrassing to watch, coaches should set an example for the team. At this point I only have respect for Stone and Fleury.
and this guy has the balls to protest the George Floyd incident while he's out here driving someone's head into the ice for 15+ seconds
yea dude same exact situation lol
george floyd died, how is this comparable at all
Yeah because this is the same situation
Smooth brain
Reaves literally tried to George Floyd Greaves...
Greaves is white. So that makes it ok in their eyes
@@Jedwild21 true true
Did he feed him a deadly amount of fentanyl too?
@@Jedwild21 bro shut the fuck up😂

It's a benefit to the Golden Knights if Reavo is suspended. He is a liability for the team on and off the ice.
Deboerr: “yeah this one’s over, switch to toddler mode”
Accurate.
Putting your knee on someone's head who is layed down flat on the ice and putting your full body weight on it as they try to squirm free isn't just intent to injure. Reaves is literally trying to kill this man, and he should never play another game in the NHL after this.
He has a helmet on lol
Little dramatic, intent to injure sure, but not intent to kill, that's like saying chiropractors are attempting to murder someone when the torque their neck.
This should be rest of playoffs, the knee on the face as absolutely intentional and Reaves does nothing but cheap shot players
Whatcha talkin' bout? $5k fine. Avs better keep their mouths shut, too, or they'll get $250k.
(Oh, and in case you didn't realize, I was being sarcastic)
@@SB_Artsy he was clearly trying to hurt him as much as possible intent to injure.. this should be the end of reaves
Reeves is a scum bag! Cheap shot on the Goalie c'mon man! What a ass clown! I guarantee after this season with players running around like idiots the day of the Heavy Weight is coming back!!
Wow. Reaves went full Derek Chauvin on that guy.
Coach should get 5 games for allowing it to happen!!
no we don't see enough of this. too manty wusses right now
The way he was kneeling on Graves neck was the worst thing I've seen in a long time. The DPS better not blow this one.
Somehow I feel they will. Hoping for a lengthy suspension though.
They did blow it. 2 games which means he will come back to this series and that's after knowing he has a long history and pulled hair.
Holyshit... this kneeing tech looks awfully close to the one we saw in Minnesota...
WTF Reaves was out to kill him, Jesus Christ. He's gotta get suspended for ATLEAST 3 games
You'd hope but from what I've noticed the league is about as consistent with punishment as the county's justice system
@@jackson5802 can't argue with that.
Graves looked like he was out to kill Janmark? Or you didn’t see that highlight?
@@AlphanumericCharacters I did man, looked like a clean hit though, it wasn't really late, just a split second. Janmark had the puck when graves approached but passed it in the last second. Besides, janmark was watching his pass and had his eyes on the ice rather than up.Graves finished his check.
Besides even if it WAS a late hit, Reaves did go overboard.
@@AlphanumericCharacters if delivering a solid hit .67sec late is out to kill someone perhaps playoff hockey isn't your sport to watch and hence why Graves only got an interference call versus a GM
Thanks for uploading the full video after the last one
_Ryan "Chauvin" Reaves.👀_
I understand that gravez laid out a late hit and I understand reaves' role on the ice, but u don't just go out and sit with ur knee on a guy's face
Ya but you know. The Leafs are garbage
@@charliebackman7968 save the tears for next year. I'm a jets fan so don't worry the Habs will be gone
@@SgtTonka ya the habs are probably toast now. Who cares about the habs as long as the Leafs are gone
@@charliebackman7968 who knows maybe the Habs snap the Canadian cup drought
@@SgtTonka updatd
Hopefully Reaves will get tossed from the playoffs, like he so richly deserves.
Ya just like the Leafs. They're trash
10 game minimum. That was uncalled for and malicious.
Two games in a row Reaves intentionally injuring opponents. Kick him out of the league.
Lol what league do you watch? xD
I would make sure that Ryan Reeves never finishes another game in Colorado, alive
Graves deserved it
@@ChrisEightyNine for a .67 second late hit at playoff hockey speeds? Janmark didn't even keep his head up to defend himself... get the fuck outta here with that 😂
I wish we still had Big Z for sh*t like this.
There’s not enough room for two Big Z’s in the league... so Chara should retire :D
Or McLeod. Would've laid Reaves out back in like 2017
Yeah Big Z would have turned the puck over a long time ago and given up a goal, this would never have happened
1:00 lol Marchessault pretending he wants a piece of Saad and then shitting his pants and crying to the ref after he gets him free
Reaves gave him the BLM knee.
thx for uploading!
Now we know that in NHL it costs 5000 to hit the head of a player lying on the ice.
What’s amazing is that the hate for Reaves by the fans isn’t there. Wilson steps in the ice and fans explode. Reaves tries to murder someone and nobody cares
He seems to hurt alot of people, amazing how i don't see as much hate towards him compared to wilson yet this guy goes out of his way to hurt people. Wilson is just an old school player who likes to hit and is very protective of his teammates.
He’s worse than Wilson by far
He isn’t an old school player. I have watched a lot of old time hockey and have never seen anything like this.
Why I love Ryan Reaves
Not sure why the officials let Reaves be on top of Graves all that time. Where are those big linesmen who could just remove guys like Reaves, who thinks he's above every one?
Intent to injure suspension or fine? Honestly asking, did anything happen?
So far, nothing. A match penalty was called so he's automatically suspended until his hearing. After that we'll see.
The real beat down was on the scoreboard 🤦🏻♂️
@The Esquire of Sports One of four beat downs headed your way.
@The Esquire of Sports® One of four beat downs headed your way! Lol.. just talking trash. Y'all got the AVs number right now. It's sad that this is a second round series. I hope it goes to 7.
Reavers would be pepper sprayed and handcuffed if he did that crap on the street!
Reaves is more dirty then Wilson
Liked Reeves when he played for the Blues, but over the years my opinion had changed. What a Goon! Terrible.
Reaves is just mad his pathetic display of a team had a Mickey Mouse schedule in the regular season and is getting whooped by a real NHL team
They split the regular season with the Avs 4-4 and they played the exact same teams that the Avs played. Are you fucking stupid? LOL
This is the problem with the new NHL...you try to get rid of guys who play hard hitting like Scott Stevens and instead get useless goons like this guy and Wilson. Every team needs a Stevens that can wait for a guy like Reaves to line up at the blue line with a shoulder to the head for doing shit like that
A fight is understandable, that's hockey. But Reaves literally tried to kill a man. Graves hit was questionable too, Janmark had his head down and watched the pass like he was playing PeeWee house league. I've coached Squirts that know to not watch a pass and keep their head up.
tried to kill a man? calm down, boomer
Laying on top of a guy giving a face wash, can you newcomers stop lying and over exaggerate everything?
@@jasselampinen8016 yeah a face wash that the refs right on top of it all thought was worth 9 min in penalties, I’m sure it was nothing... lol
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 lol, what a cute comeback, what is it 2019? Grow up you child.
@@jasselampinen8016 Newcomers? I have played for 16 years, and have coached and refereed the last 4 years. Driving your knee into someones head and twisting their head 90 degrees plus will snap someones neck almost paralyzing or killing them. No where was this clean. Reaves wasn't protecting a goalie, didn't try to start a fight, no he was out there to hurt someone because he is a waste of space just like yourself.
Not a fan of either of these teams, but is Reaves not getting any disciplinary hearing from the NHL Player Safety? I mean he could easily choke that guy. They've had some weaker decisions on some fined players but this situation was maybe the most dangerous in the whole season.
I thought Reeves was allowed to take a knee though
Or is that only during the national anthem
Tf are the refs doing?!
Reaves is one of the last remnants of a league long since past this sort of goonery. The time for him and Tom Wilson's of the league are coming to an end. Reaves should get the rest of the playoffs off, so for Vegas, the next 3 games will be enough.
I don't see an issue. Watch your teammate get taken out, you take that guy out. Especially in a game you aren't going to win anyway
The Blues learned really fast that they couldn't bully the Avs. Seems like the Knights didn't get the notice.
What? The Blues were missing half their roster, lol.
Colorado played the Blues mash squad. A healthy Blues team would have been at least competitive. Blues just were never healthy this year.
@@poooky321 that’s the blues fault not Colorado.
ha! Graves thought he was such a big shot after laying out Janmark.... then came the big boy hockey....& he rolled around the ice like a little 12 yr old needing his mommy. Where did that tough guy go?!? And....of course....haven't heard much at all fr 27 is the last 3 games. lol... nut up Avs fans... it's freaking hockey.... our guy still hasn't returned to the ice after that cheap shot by cryin' #27.
That's right. Graves got what he had comin.
It’s like Harambe on skates
This has to be the most racist comment of the day. Congrats.
Ryan Reeves knees for the flag because a police officer kneels on a man's neck then proceeds to kneel on Graves neck... Nice 👍
Kneck.... Where the fuck did you go to school? Fucking Dumbfuck Community College? xD
@@miketython8827 lol thought that looked weird 😂
This is going to be a lengthy vacation for reeves. No way he’s back for the playoffs after this one. You can literally break someone’s neck doing that and pressing your knee on their face while weighing 200+ pounds. Those knee pads are also rock solid.
And yet Tom Wilson acts like a madman throwing Panarin around and punching a guy in the head against the ice and he wasn’t even suspended for a game… I’m not a fan of either of these teams so I’m not defending Reaves I’m just saying that it’s a joke how Reaves might get a suspension when Tom Wilson was given a fine
I wonder what Nemeth was saying to reaves after he was leaving. looks like reaves was still tryna say something .. looks like nemeth is sayung '' get tf outta here , he;s already hurt"'
Classic Vegas, gotta play dirty since they can't compete
reaves a real og for taking revenge like that
That hit was a love tap tbh. The drag down was a little much but he didn't hit the ice hard. The hold down and knees and shit was way too much
It's obvious to me that the people on here that have no problem with what Reeves did likes a team that sucks. Do you watch basketball to see fouls or a powerful dunk on someone? Do you watch baseball to see a home run or see someone get walked? Do watch football for a 70 yd td pass or a four and out series? I could go on and on. Hockey is fast and getting faster every year. I want to see speed and goals scored period. If the nhl wants to carry on they need to keep it fast and let superstars score goals not let big goons skate around and contribute nothing but slowing down.a game I love.
So many trash players in this league just messing around…
Imagine the mental gymnastics you have to do to be his teammate and try to defend his actions. I can hear the tough guys now saying "Thats Hockey!" but it definitely isnt. Like literally nobody backs this shit.
What did Reaves even do I mean I saw he was on top of that guy but I couldn’t tell what he did
Knocked the goalie in the back of the head with his stick, then grabbed Graves and yanked him to the ice, then basically ground his knee into the guy's face.
he hit Ryan Graves multiple times because the other video showed Graves bleeding from his face.
@@aleks2718 he kneeled on his face intentionally
Oh wow
@@aleks2718 I think the blood was from when he was gouging at his eyes with one hand while kneeling on his neck and head. It took me awhile to spot but it would make sense
Reaves avenging the Graves hit on Janmark earlier is normal and one reason why Reaves is popular with every guy who plays with him. And frankly, to have any chance of winning the cup you have to play tough, tough hockey and take no crap.
Let me say that I have no problem with going after Graves for his earlier hit, but come on Reeves... drop the gloves and punch the shit out of the guy! No need for shit like that!
He wouldn’t scrap so he got smushed. Cowards get smashed that’s how it goes
@@salmoncheese6843 shouldn't have to answer to bell for janmark having his head down, reaves is a cancer to the sport, brings absolutely nothing positive to hockey
@@salmoncheese6843 except he probably would given the chance
@@krytxps except Hague tried to scrap with him shortly after he got out of the box and he didn’t sooooo I don’t think that’s correct
@@HunterMagunter do you play hockey? Or ever played hockey? He didn’t have his head down he didn’t have the puck and was looking backwards. As well it was a penalty and he had to answer for it. It’s hockey, Perry accidentally hit Johnny and answered for it because he’s not a coward
It’s tough having Reaves on your team. If he were just to play hockey like he did the first three shifts of the game I wouldn’t be complaining but it’s like every night figuring out when he’s gonna fuck us next. And those who defend him here in Vegas just think he’s handsome. Not much else to it
NHL should not tolerate that, deserves 1-2 game suspension.
You're joking right? He should be gone for the remainder of the playoffs. That was despicable. He should be behind bars tonight for aggravated assault.
10
8 games like Kadri got.
Wouldn’t mind seeing him gone for longer, definitely warranted. But considering the person making decisions on suspensions......... I don’t see it
@@jacoblaurain8911 Bettman makes the decision, not Parris. Also I would think Sakic would be on the phone with Bettman comparing this to the Steve Moore situation.
Did Graves play another shift ? Just wondering? Turned it off after 2 periods
I love that VGK tried to goon it up and the whole line got whooped.
The Knights deserved to get demolished after this. I'm a Wild fan, so naturally I hate the Avs, but I'm happy to see them respond with a 7-1 victory after this. Reaves is such a clown- get him out of the league.
Reaves kneeling on Graves neck is ironic after last year...
Yes very scary.
Exactly what I was thinking. One step forward, two steps backwards for social justice.
@@brucewatkinson9592 Reaves is black lol
That wasn't a cross check to the back of the head. Damn. Hockey newbs listen to everything the announcer says and thinks it's reality. Sometimes, the announcers are wrong. As in this case.
It was a cheap shot. Could even have been a penalty if the refs wanted to call it, but it wasn't a cross check.
I do not want watch at a hockey game and just hope that no one Will get a carrerr ending injury thanks to an Enforcer like RR
2 games is a joke considering Kadri got 8.
POS Reeves might be watching this series from the press box.
Anyone who says Tom Wilson is bad Reaves is a goon and is worthless when he's on the ice all he does is look to fight. Tom Wilson actually scores goal.
Ryan taking a knee like the cop on George Floyd lol. Scoreboard
