Lessons are often learned over time, even for really big kids.
It’s certainly true for Ryan Reaves, which is to say the Golden Knights forward pulled a small-time expansion move Thursday, even with his team more than a year removed from such a distinction.
Not with anything on the ice, where the Knights beat Chicago 4-3 before an announced crowd of 18,494 at T-Mobile Arena, having outscored the Blackhawks 12-6 in two victories this season.
The Knights are rolling, all right, having won eight of 10.
But karma moves in different directions, and when actions are foolish in nature, well, the resulting backlash of negativity is deserved and earned.
