Golden Knights forward Ryan Reaves and San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane have disliked each other since their days in the Western Hockey League.
Reaves just wishes Kane would act on his feelings when they’re on the ice together.
Instead, Kane’s barbs have been mostly shared through the media, and his actual jabs largely have been landed on Reaves’ teammates aside from poking each other with their sticks at the end of Game 1 near the benches.
Kane referred to Reaves as the Knights’ “babysitter” during the Stanley Cup playoff series between the teams.
“Kane gets 10 feet tall when I’m not on the ice, and when I’m out there, he doesn’t seem to do much,” Reaves said Sunday before Game 3 at T-Mobile Arena.
