Ryan Reaves has some work to do on his chirps.
The Golden Knights right wing was voted the third-best trash-talker in this year’s NHL Players’ Association poll that was released Wednesday.
“I think I’m going to be running my mouth a little bit more now, that’s for sure,” Reaves said. “Especially when we play Boston, I guess.”
Brad Marchand, the Bruins’ notorious agitator, finished first with 21.3 percent of the votes. Los Angeles’ Drew Doughty was second.
Reaves was voted the league’s toughest player with nearly half the votes last year, but that category was not included in the latest survey of more than 500 players.
