O'Brien drops the gloves with Reaves, bad decision.

Pittsburgh Penguins bruiser Ryan Reaves is one of the most feared men in the National Hockey League, and for good reason. 

The talented pugilist put a big hit roughly half way through the first period to Washington Capitals forward Liam O'Brien and O'Brien was not at all happy about it.

The 23-year-old chased Reaves all the way down the ice and challenged him to drop the gloves, a gutsy move to be sure and credit to him for that, and Reaves was more than happy to do so. 

Unfortunately for O'Brien Reaves dominated this fight, dropping him after just two heavy punches. To make matters worse for O'Brien his defeat resulted in Reaves taunting his teammate Tom Wilson who was on the Capitals bench at the time. Reaves clearly laid out a challenge here so we may get a huge fight between Wilson and Reaves later tonight.
