The no-name who gave the Leafs a run for their money in January grew up admiring Carey Price
Auteur: DoseTrue, he plays in Anaheim, but…
In his short time in North America, he’s faced some adversity. At the beginning of January, he probably had the best game of his career at any level. In a loss to the Maple Leafs, he made 55 saves on 57 shots. That evening, the Toronto Sun outright disrespected him by calling him a “no-name”.
In fact, the Canucks’ number-two goaltender grew up admiring Carey Price. And believe me, he’s not the only one.

This is the kind of game that Ryan Reaves, who wasn’t with the Leafs for this game, will have to stand up and prove why he signed a three-year contract.
What’s the stakes in a Gudas-Reaves fight? I’m asking for a friend…
