Ryan Reaves joins the San Jose Sharks, reflecting on a painful Toronto Maple Leafs exit
Ryan Reaves joins the San Jose Sharks, reflecting on a painful Toronto Maple Leafs exit (Image Via Twitter) When the seasoned forward was placed with the Toronto Marlies in the AHL, he knew his spot in the Leafs lineup was, alas, no longer there. That trade was the turning point for Ryan Reaves, now 37, who left for his seventh NHL destination: the San Jose Sharks. This trade became another notch on the belt for the 37-year-old veteran. Ryan Reaves asked for a trade after losing his spot on the Maple Leafs' roster — Leafslatest (@Leafslatest) Ryan Reaves talked openly about his departure from Toronto. After being called down to the AHL late in the 2023-24 season, he felt the end was near for him with the Maple Leafs. In a podcast, Reaves lamented that reduced minutes and the gut-wrenching demotion placed in stark terms that the former Leaf could never suit up for the Leafs again. Upon realizing this, he approached general manager Brad Treliving and discussed a trade, which was agreed upon by both parties as the best option. The Sharks procured Reaves in a swap for developer Henry Thrun. Reaves is a seasoned veteran with the baggage of some 912 regular-season games at the NHL level with 137 points, and well over 1,100 minutes in penalties. He has also played in 113 playoff games, including the Stanley Cup Final in 2018 with the Vegas Golden Knights. Given his grit and leadership, Reaves could serve as a mentor to the Sharks' young core. Ryan Reaves praises Leafs despite his unsatisfactory exit Dakota Blue ft.

He thanked everybody for giving him the opportunity to wear a Leafs jersey, play in a historic arena, and bask in the glory of great fans. Reaves was more of a locker room presence, and that presence will be instrumental in San Jose, where the team's rebuilding attempt might need some veterans who will bring some hard-nosed edge to the club. Crossing over to the San Jose Sharks, Reaves is striding towards more than just another suit. As he embraces this new assignment with the fine qualifications of a mature man, the NHLer gives thanks for the journey gone by and turns to what awaits in front of him.

'Yep, that's me, guys. The guy that got dropped like a bucket of balls in a pond,' Trevor Ogilvie begins in a confessional video stitched above one showing the beatdown he suffered at the hands of Nick Tarnasky, a veteran of 245 NHL games, at Alberta Springs Golf Resort, just outside Red Deer, Alta. 'Not my finest moment, I know. Looks real bad. I played 36 holes of golf, we drank way too much, and my mouth ran faster than my brain.' Went viral for the wrong reason. Time to move on.

In the extended version of the video, Tarnasky and his golf group are expressing frustration with the pair they're playing behind, saying they're taking too long to tee off and slowing down play for everyone. 'You're not a tough guy. Hurry up,' Tarnasky says to a Hawaiian shirt-clad Ogilvie as the group of men argue around their golf carts near a tee-box. 'He's pretty tough,' Ogilvie's unidentified playing partner replies. Tarnasky and company vehemently disagree and urge the duo to get moving or let the group play through. Eventually, as Ogilvie is slowly teeing up, Tarnasky can be heard complaining about their slow play and threatening to 'throw them' in the lake.

As he's warned to back down and told he's not scaring anybody, Ogilvie throws his sunglasses to the ground and starts acting aggressively, shouting 'Let's go f—ing go, man.' 'Buddy, you don't want to go at me,' Tarnasky can be heard warning him. Moments later, Ogilvie lunges at the much bigger and taller Tarnasky, who uses the aggressor's momentum to manhandle him into the nearby aforementioned water hazard. Ogilvie quickly climbs from the water and goes back at Tarnasky only to be served two meaty right hands by the former pro who had 297 penalty minutes in his five NHL seasons, which included heavyweight tilts against the likes of Aaron Asham, Zenon Konopka, Milan Lucic, Chris Neil and Colton Orr, among several others.

As Tarnasky's group again urge the tandem to leave, Ogilvie gathers his belongings and stumbles forward looking for a handshake. An incensed Tarnasky wants none of it and pushes him to the ground again. Then, after Ogilvie starts putting his clubs in someone else's cart and is pushed away, he appears to briefly brandish the club as a weapon.

Golfer who got punched, dumped in pond by ex-NHLer Nick Tarnasky breaks silence on wild video
A man who says he's the golfer who got beat up and thrown into a pond by former NHL player Nick Tarnasky has broken his silence on the wild scrap that went viral in videos posted to social media. Trevor Ogilvie posted an apology video after he admitted to drinking too much alcohol before the fight erupted at the Alberta Springs Golf Course in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada on July 4. 'Yup, that's me guys, the guy that got dropped like a bucket of balls in a pond,' Ogilvie began. 'Not my finest moment, I know. Looks real bad. Played 36 holes of golf, we drank way too much and my mouth ran faster than my brain.

The fight was sparked by an argument over slow play, with Tarnasky accusing Ogilvie and his partner of taking too long in front of them. 'This is f–king bulls–t,' a man in the video says. 'They've been sitting there for f–king 23 minutes!' That's when Ogilvie responds, 'f–king cry about it.' 4 Trevor Ogilvie in his apology video.
