Over the last week, NHL fans have been stuck in debate over the suspension given to Maple Leafs Ryan Reaves and now his brother has called out Darnell Nurse.

During the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers recent matchup controversy broke out after a big hit from Ryan Reaves on Darnell Nurse.

The hit led to a major head injury for Darnell Nurse who has yet to return for the Oilers.

As a result of the hit Ryan Reaves was ejected from the game and given a five-game suspension by the NHL's Department of Player Safety.

After the incident and ensuing suspension, neither player had addressed the incident until yesterday when Darnell Nurse spoke to the media.

He blamed Ryan Reaves for what happened and said the hit could've easily ended more safely but instead, the Maple Leafs enforcer tried to make head contact.

Darnell Nurse's comments reignited the debate over how dangerous of a hit this was by Ryan Reaves and if a five-game suspension was fair.

Many sided with Darnell Nurse while others still do not understand how such a severe suspension was handed out.

This evening, Jordan Reaves, Ryan Reaves's brother, has expressed his opinion on the incident and Darnell Nurse's comments.

Ryan Reaves brother calls out Darnell Nurse

In a new post on social media Jordan Reaves the brother of Ryan Reaves has called out Darnell Nurse.

Jordan Reaves who is a former Canadian Football League player called out Darnell Nurse for coming at his brother and implied that Darnell Nurse couldn't have known what his brother's intentions were since Darnell Nurse was looking down at the time of the hit.

While it is no surprise that Jordan Reaves would support his brother this still adds fuel to the fire of a situation that just refuses to settle down.

With Darnell Nurse back on the ice it will be interesting to see if he has anything more to say the next time he meets with the media.

As for Ryan Reaves, we likely won't hear from him until his suspension is done being served as the Maple Leafs have kept him sheltered.

If any more developments are made in this dramatic exchange, we will pass along the latest information to you.
