Ahead of the Minnesota Wild's Western Conference First Round game against the Dallas Stars on Sunday, Reaves enthusiastically read out the starting lineup and got his teammates excited for the big matchup.

After reading each stater's name with all the fervor in the world, the Wild forward followed it up with a passionate handshake for each of his teammates.
Some looked a bit caught off guard by Reaves' excited yelling (looking at you, Jake Middleton), but based on the cheering amongst the entire team, it's fair to say those guys were just as pumped up as Reaves.
