Ryan Reaves boarding on Dylan DeMelo – Tough Call Suspension Recommendation



Ryan Reaves sees numbers, hits anyway, and leaves his feet. The NHL desperately needs to start holding him accountable.

  1. 5 minute major and a suspension. The upwards motion on boarding is completely unnecessary. Can't believe they missed that

  2. Great analysis. The refs seem to judge the outcome, not the intent. If DeMelo was laid out like Ehlers then there would be a penalty.

  3. Another great example of reffing incompetence and inconsistency.This is a classic example of boarding. It could easily have been called charging otherwise as Reeves leaves his feet to follow thru at DeMelo. Its unbelievable that 1 of the same referrees (Hebert) ,officiated in the Flames vs jets game on the 5th. In that game Dubois was called for boarding on Andersson. Andersson was a whopping 11 or more feet from the boards! Or above the icing line.What a vast difference in these 2 examples.
