Ryan Reaves Quickly Turns on Maple Leafs Fan Base Following Trade to Sharks

For most of those in-tune with the Toronto Maple Leafs, it was all but a foregone conclusion that enforcer Ryan Reaves was on the outs, especially after having been placed on waivers near the trade deadline.

The Maple Leafs moved Reaves to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenseman Henry Thrun on Thursday night, and in a bit of a surprising twist, the veteran forward has been taking a few shots towards his former team and it's fan base.

It started when he was answering questions in relation to fan treatment thrown Mitch Marner's way, but since the trade he's taken shots at how he was utilized by the coaching staff and now the fan base - once again.

Not only did believe he was unfairly mistreated by the coaching staff, but he then took aim towards the fans, who he believed had a quick switch in turning against him when things went south.

Later in his interview with TSN's Mark Masters, Reaves also talked about what surprised him the most about playing in Toronto, and once again he took aim towards the Leafs faithful.

It's certainly an interesting turn of events and perhaps there's a little bit of truth to what he's saying, but rather than taking the high road after 2 seasons with the organization, Reaves appears to be leaving on some pretty bitter terms.

Now on his way to San Jose, Reaves is headed to a much quieter market, which may be a welcome change for him.
