A video of Ryan Reaves is going viral after last night's game that shows he has been all bark and no bite this season when it comes to his physical presence.

Walker Lays Out Reaves With Massive Hit at Center Ice Despite Massive Size Difference

Ryan Reaves was heralded as exactly what the Leafs needed for toughness at the beginning of the year. He did show up for a few fights at the start of the season, however, since being in and out of the lineup his physical game has slowed. Last night was no different, as he was laid out with a massive hit by the St. Louis Blues' Nathan Walker. Walker, who is just 5 foot 9 inches, was able to send Reaves, who is 6 foot 2, to the ice.

Walker's Hit On Reaves Comes Just a Day After Reaves Called For the NHL to be More Violent

The hilarious part of the entire saga is that Reaves was just on record saying that he wanted the NHL to become more violent again in response to Morgan Rielly's suspension.

Reaves is starting to get a little bit of a reputation as a guy who is all talk, as he is quick to comment on situations after the fact. Well now it looks like he is getting what he asked for, even if it was against himself.
