Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5241063, member: 173"] It’ll be interesting to see how many games Reaves gets for his hit on Nurse. I agree with people who said he probably expected Nurse to square up more as he came around the net, which would have led to a big hit but not an illegal one. Ultimately it’s his responsibility, a player not reacting the way you expected means you need to adjust (and not hit him directly in the head). One thing I like about the Devils announcers (especially Ken Daneyko) is that regardless of who has a hit like that (Devils player or an opponent), he’ll say it’s an illegal hit and the guy is likely to miss more than one game. Done. It annoyed me when I watched the replay and heard the announcers hemming and hawing about it and pointing out he didn’t leave his feet, didn’t throw an elbow, they’ve seen worse…just call the game objectively and don’t be a total homer.
