Ryan Reaves Sends Brad Marchand A Warning
The long-standing rivalry between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins is picking up steam following a recent injury to Maple Leafs defenseman Timothy Liljegren.
Notorious Bruins agitator Brad Marchand was involved in the incident that led to Liljegren's injury, sparking emotions on both sides. Maple Leafs enforcer Ryan Reaves is making his feelings known about the situation.
"First of all, 'Get away from the bench,'" warned Reaves about Marchand. "Second of all, I guess he was lucky I wasn't out on the ice with him. Yeah, unfortunately, they had the last change, so I didn't get any shifts against him."
Reaves, who signed a 3-year deal this summer to bring toughness to the Maple Leafs, offered a response, but fans and observers were expecting a more assertive reaction from him and the team following Liljegren's injury.
When these two rivals meet again on December 2nd, it's likely that the Maple Leafs will be looking to seek some measure of revenge against Marchand and the Bruins for the incident. The rivalry continues to heat up.
