Leafs announce Ryan Reaves will be in the lineup for game 1
The Leafs announced this afternoon that tough guy Ryan Reaves will be in the lineup for game 1 to help them have a physical edge over the Bruins.
The Bruins dominated the Leafs throughout the season winning all four matchups but the playoffs is completely different and can go either way."Ryan Reaves has earned the opportunity to play Game 1 for the Leafs."
Reaves will not be a threat offensively or defensively that the Bruins will have to deal with but he does bring the Leafs some added toughness that they have missed in the past.
Regardless of how their matchups went this season, the Bruins have to show up right out of the gate against the Leafs because any mistakes can cost them greatly with a lineup that includes Matthews, Marner and Nylander.
