Yes, but also this is how his teammates feel about him

And Auston is playing like he's 11 feet tall right now, so...

Spotting the opposition 1 goal every 2 games isn't sustainable so hopefully things improve there. I like everything about Reaves other than his ability to play hockey though, yeah

You can just by the huge xgf% variances even within the sams D pairing that we're dealing with super tiny samples, but even then we can see a big problem when the 4th line and 2nd pair have been on the ice together.

I also notice that Kampf has actually had more Ozone starts than Dzone starts, while both Matthews and Tavares have had more Dzone than Ozone.

They need more vanilla, less all offence guys. I guess unless you trade Domi or something. But the fit makes little sense and I don't really get the speculation.

You used to be fun.

What happened to fun renegade Preston the Christian Porn enthusiast?

If Matthews keeps swinging his dick like this as Reaves runs around like an animal we may have to destroy all the nerds.

I will do it personally.

I love data, data is important for decision making. But there's just no arguing against the emotional side of the equation here either. Confidence matters a lot. If Reavo makes these limp wristed pussies feel like they're fire breathing monsters to the point where they start gang raping the league, I don't care what Reavo does in 8 minutes a night on the ice. Those results will show up in the data as Reaves being the worst player in the league in 8 minutes a night but Auston & Mitch detonating for 22 minutes a night and far outweighing Reavo's ineptitude at playing hockey.

This team badly needed more hip hop, face punching, and big swinging dick confidence. I'm willing to see us eat some bad 4th line shifts in exchange for that.
 
I do appreciate that Reaves fights aren’t the typical empty calorie “let’s have a fight because that’s what I’m paid for” fights most enforcers get into. Both were because he was running around creating havoc and hurting guys. He is impacting the game with toughness. Not with goals but nonetheless.

Yep. Staged fights are terrible. Fighting after launching another team's skill player into orbit with a hit has actual impact.

All true but the 4th line can't be this bad.
 
Rolling Reaves out there for 7-9 mpg in the season is fine and all but come playoff they'll be largely rolling 11 forwards anyway. I would hope. I like the guy but -1xg in 2 games is terrible and won't cut it in the playoffs. You just can't have that.

Agree with everything but the hip hop but if that's what it takes so be it.
