Repeated head blows in a short time isn't a good idea. Boxers even take days off after a match. I like the culture of respect in this part of the game. It's sadly missing among the faux tough guys like Cousins or Marchand.

How so? He's had three fights, and while I don't know whether Martin challenged him, clearly the other two guys did. Both Olivier and Deslauriers went over to Rempe during warm-up and challenged him. In the NHL, if you're challenged you have to accept.

Just saying, "over" and "out" are mutually exclusive communication terms. One does not say "I'm done talking so now I'm listening so now I'm getting off the phone"- which is what this phrase sounds like to anyone with a military communications background. It's simply "out" when hanging up, or "over" when you are done talking and its the other persons turn to transmit.

Rempe is just doing the circuit getting recognized and familiarizing himself with the other sluggers. He won't keep fighting at this pace. He can't. And if he doesn't recognize that, someone will tell him - well, someone just did, actually. Hopefully he heeds Olivier's advice.

A sad situation for the NHL. You need to fight to stay in the league and before the game starts is ridiculous. It was always silly and dangerous.

[@jayskate6631]

Keep crying, the kid doesn’t even buckle his helmet tight because he literally doesn’t care about his safety. Let him fight, the same people who don’t care about getting hurt in a fight are the same ones that kill themselves because they don’t like working a 9-5. Hockey is his savour not his downfall

[@bobfowler393]

I agree that Rempe was tuned up. I will also note that Rempe was minding his own business before the game, when Olivier skated over to him, to issue the challenge. Mark Martin did the same thing in Rempe's first game. For those who claim Olivier has class, how exactly do you come to that conclusion, based upon HIS pregame challenge? Proving to act like a bully doesn't exude class.

He is also very big. And in time he will get stronger and won’t be as awkward. I was at the Nassau Coliseum in a preseason Rangers and Islanders game. Chara’s first fight. I think vs Darren Langdon. He got tossed around by Langdon. Eventually Chara grew into that height. Plus I will say this isn’t 80’s/90’s NHL. Cause if it were. Domi, Propert or any other enforcer of that era would prob end this kids career very fast.
