The Blues-Senators game on Tuesday night was a feisty one. The Blues were defeated in a shootout after coughing up a two-goal lead, but the whole night may be remembered for all of the big hits and a memorable Ryan Reaves fight with Eric Gryba.
Gryba wasn’t too pleased with all of the “yappy” Blues, as seen in the Ottawa Citizen.
You can only take so much yapping from some of their players before it gets the guys fired up. It paid off in the end.
It’s one thing to play against honest teams. It’s different when you’re playing against teams that are chippy and some guys who are running their mouth and won’t answer the bell (to fight). It’s not a (brand of) hockey that should be played. You can only take so much. I feel like we’re a pretty honest team.
Ironic statements considering the Senators were more than “yappy” themselves and also appeared to be a bit reluctant to drop the mitts. When they did, Gryba was crushed by Reaves.
Maybe Gryba should be more concerned with how feeble he looked against Reaves instead of yapping about the chirping on the ice?
