Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ryan Reaves gave the NHL fans an entertaining Wednesday night other than the team’s 4-3 win over the Capitals. The fans present in the Washington arena saw a sight that the NHL fans had never seen before.

While Reaves is known for his on-ice fights, Wednesday proved to be a bit different. He literally re-decorated the Capital One Arena as he tore a chunk of Lexus ad sticker from the walls.

During the first period, Ryan Reaves took a hit at Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson, and in the process, ripped out a piece of the ad board. However, that itself wasn’t funny.

Moments later Reaves was seen skating on the ice, flapping the sticker from his rear end. Apparently, when both Carlson and Reaves collided near the wall, the forward’s gear tore a part of the board ad and it stuck with him.

Latter on realizing he quickly took the ad sticker off and threw it on the ice. This incident created a light-hearted moment not only for the fans but for both the teams too. Reaves shared a hearty laugh with his teammates on the bench.
