The Big Bad Panthers roll into town. Even without Gudas they are still bullying teams. They bullied Ottawa last night. Picking on Korpisalo daring Ottawa to brawl. Even 5'9" Lomberg was getting in there scrumming. Florida is the sole reason Reaves was brought in. I suppose Bert and Domi as well. There is zero chance you're going to see a fight between Reaves and Tkachuk or Bennett. They won't accept the fight. Other players on the Leafs will need to step up if a brawl breaks out. Perhaps that's why they put Marner with Bert. To step in if Tkatchuk starts slapping Marner. I don't think anything will sway the way Florida plays. Not even Reaves but it'll be interesting to see how Reaves takes on this assignment against Florida.
... and Saturday rematch vs Boston. It'll be interesting to see how they address Marchand. Probably nothing. They're the Big Bad Bruins for a reason. The team will protect Marchand. No one really wants to mess with Marchand anyway. He'll likely give you a cheap shot as retribution.
