Beloved Retired Enforcer Humiliates Ryan Reaves
This retired NHL enforcer just called out Ryan Reaves for apparently being too shy to fight him.
Retired Canadiens Tough Guy John Scott Calls Out Reaves for Not Fighting Him
John Scott is a former tough guy in the NHL and has a pretty significant resume to show for it, lining up against the league's best enforcers during his days. He was never afraid to drop the gloves, as the 6'8", 260-pound defenceman towered over pretty much everyone.
Now, he has called out Ryan Reaves for apparently ducking his repeated attempts to fight.
"Well, he ducked me - he didn't want to [fight] and I finally grabbed him and he bailed out and you can tell him that... But, I think it's kind of as advertised. I know Toronto has dipped their toe in the tough waters throughout the years and tried to bring that edge, but they never went all in.
Scott Thinks Reaves' Toughness Is Different For the Leafs
Scott also commented on how he believes Reaves is a different type of tough guy than others the Leafs have brought in in the past, like Wayne Simmonds or Kyle Clifford. Scott believes Reaves is top of the food chain in the NHL.
Since the Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren days, I think they went 'we'll bring in a Kyle Clifford, we'll bring in a Wayne Simmonds... those guys are kind of tough, but this is the biggest top dog in the NHL and everybody knows it... And the good thing about Ryan Reaves is he's fast, he can get in on the forecheck, I think he's proven it the first two games, he's been laying guys out... You've gotta make yourself relevant other than just dropping the gloves, so he's good for this team.
He's a good guy. He's going to definitely make up his contract there. When he signed, I said 'Reavo, you're overpaid, how do you do it?' But I'm teasing because he does other things that nobody sees to make up for the lack of offensive production on the ice." - John Scott

If Reaves was shy back when Scott asked him to dance, he has certainly lost that character trait, as he has two fights in two games for the Leafs.
