In today's game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Philadelphia Flyers, Ryan Reaves faced off against Nick Deslauriers of the Flyers in a physical altercation. Surprisingly, Reaves, known as one of the toughest players in the game, seemed to lose the fight and subsequently left the game to head to the Leafs locker room.
Reaves' right eye appeared swollen shut, indicating a potential injury from the altercation. While the eye poke seems accidental, it raises questions about Deslauriers' victory for the heavyweight belt in the fight.
As the game progresses, Reaves has yet to return to the ice, signaling a significant loss for the Leafs, especially considering his recent positive contributions to the team. This setback comes at a crucial time, just before the playoffs begin.
