Reaves, on why he threw his helmet on the ice for Celebrini's hat trick: "I was just making sure there was something on the ice for him. Because we were away, so I didn't know how far up the Sharks fans were, if they have good arms or not."
Celebrini said he saw Reaves throw his helmet on the ice.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
