The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing a tough challenge in their series against the Florida Panthers, and many are calling for enforcer Ryan Reaves to be dressed for Game 2. This move is not just a gimmick, but a practical necessity after the physical style of play exhibited by the Panthers in Game 1.

The incident where Sam Bennett delivered a dirty hit on Maple Leafs’ goalie Anthony Stolarz highlights the aggressive approach of the Panthers. In such situations, a player like Reaves, known for his toughness and willingness to drop the gloves, is essential to provide protection for his teammates.

While the Maple Leafs have other tough players on the roster, none of them match up to Reaves in terms of physicality and intimidation factor. Without Reaves, the team lacks a player who can effectively push back against aggressive opponents like Bennett, Matthew Tkachuk, and Brad Marchand.

Reaves, who was placed on waivers earlier in the season due to his lack of offensive production, has since been recalled to the team for the playoffs. His presence in the lineup could make a significant difference in how the series unfolds, especially against a physical team like the Panthers.

If coach Craig Berube decides to dress Reaves for Game 2, it would likely be on the fourth line alongside Scott Laughton. This move, however, may come at the expense of players like Calle Jarnkrok or Steve Lorentz. Shortening the bench by inserting Reaves could be a strategic move to send a message to the Panthers and provide a physical presence on the ice.

Ultimately, the decision to play Reaves in Game 2 will depend on the coaching staff’s assessment of the team’s needs and the dynamics of the series. Whether Reaves sees significant ice time or serves as a deterrent to the Panthers’ aggressive tactics, his inclusion in the lineup could be a game-changer for the Maple Leafs.

In conclusion, dressing Ryan Reaves for Game 2 against the Panthers could be a strategic move to address the physicality of the opposition and provide a much-needed boost to the Maple Leafs’ lineup. His presence on the ice could make a significant impact on the outcome of the series, and fans will be eagerly watching to see how he performs in this crucial game.
