There appears to be no offseason for the verbal jousting between Vegas Golden Knights agitator Ryan Reaves and San Jose Sharks sniper Evander Kane.
Reaves revived the spat with a playful jab while presiding over a hockey-themed renewal of vows on Sunday, calling himself "Kane's worst nightmare," among other nicknames.

Over to you, Evander.
Great example of trying to be relevant when you’re not 😂😂 https://t.co/aM8C053mhJ

The two players went at each other repeatedly last season, most notably in a heated bout during Game 3 of a first-round playoff series, after which Kane likened Reaves to "The Muffin Man."
San Jose prevailed following a controversial Game 7.
Kane and Reaves won't be waiting long to renew hostilities on the ice. The Golden Knights and Sharks will meet twice in the preseason later this month, including both clubs' final exhibition matchup. Then they'll battle in consecutive home-and-home contests to start the regular season in early October.
