Ryan Reaves challenges Matt Rempe

[@llla4091]

Good scrap. We need more of this

[@BrianWalshTV]

that visor saved the rookie a few times. that being said, respect. let the boys go at it

[@mplslawnguy3389]

They need to get rid of the visor rule. Fighters shouldn’t be wearing visors.

[@domro6583]

​@@mplslawnguy3389 true I feel like if they are going to fight, they should take their helmets off

[@Dutch1982]

Reavo landed more and Rempe was playing keep away. He didn’t even want to fight but respect him for being a tough guy.

[@claytongood5372]

nope

[@grimhbrh7610]

Jersey jabs say different.

[@R.C.Bullar]

You must be blind... Rempe hit him with about 30 stiff jabs. LOL

[@DonPeppinoo]

It was pretty even. And that was his 3rd fight in 3 games. Im glad hes not fighting like that anymore.

[@toedrag-release]

Damn rempe you aint gotta fight every game..but im glad you do

[@Wayf4rer]

He's only around to fight, so he kinda does.

[@djentleman7]

Bitches out against daddy MacDermid though.

[@johnnygoumba59]

​@Wayf4rer wrong bro. He can play

[@robertmcnearny9222]

That is what he is paid to do. That is the only reason he is in the NHL

Didn’t realize Rempe was THAT big until this happened

[@MSJ_raptor]

he is huge!

[@ronaldstewart1094]

Big and relies on his visor. Reaves still landed those rights. This kid is big but will learn the hard way he is no longer in the minors. Olivier taught him that in a big way.

[@MidtownMeezus]

Just now watching All Rempe fights. Fucking badass

Rempe put hockey on the map. I have family in italy calling me saying who is that kid in NY?

Good job reaves asking and waiting for an answer class act on both sides

reaves is still the og

[@Debbie338]

The refs took forever to break it up. They know the fans love it.

[@buttermilk-es9ug]

Reaves is still the champ in here. Come off it. If rempe keeps this up he end up like the Boogeyman boogard

🙄

[@joela6965]

😂 ok 👍🏼

[@John-ce9uq]

This kid is great! The Rangers should get him a bodyguard!! To protect him from goons!

[@CindyLeeNewMedia]

He would need more than one when facing Panthers tomorrow if he wants a longer (healthy) career in NHL. He needs to cool down to heal before he gets brain damaged by the end of this season

[@Trennycakes]

best fight of the 2020s so far just like the old days

[@19trebor53]

If Rempe learns to punch and dodge punches, and puts on some more muscle, he will be a force to be reckoned with.

[@johnnytsunami4186]

So, if he learns to fight, he will be good at fighting? Brilliant.

[@daveleblanc586]

Reaves had more control of the fight. Good bout though

[@gw7477]

You can tell Reaves was used to relying on being bigger and stronger, and didn't know how to handle someone else being bigger and stronger than him

[@lancewilley70]

If Rempe would learn what an uppercut is he would destroy people

[@alexthornton672]

this guy is a punching bag

[@claytongood5372]

reaves ya i know right

[@evelynroadmedia9415]

Is it normal for the refs to just let them get it on for a while before pulling them apart. It is almost like they expect it so let them have their fun and it is considered finished with.

[@44tatoo]

Rempe wird diesen Stil nicht lange durchhalten,obwohl er mutig ist und bestimmt auch talentiert

[@ВладимирМарусенко-у1х]

[@buttermilk-es9ug]

He says he loves fighting. The kid is only gonna get better. Oliver beat him and reaves now. But this kid can just use his size and screen the goalie.

[@Jz9222]

As someone who grew up watching hockey, this is amazing 🙂 but now imagine showing this great sport to someone who's never seen it and you don't give any heads-up, and then this happens 😂 I don't think there are any other team sports in which you can fight it out?

[@bobabooey4537]

I think Reaves is the last old school heavyweight in the NHL, and he came in somewhat late, not even a top tier heavyweight early on, or ever. This Rempe kid wouldnt last in the old days. I dont see him having a chance vs a Probert, Domi, Brashear, McGratton, Brown or McSorely... to name just a few. Not a chance.

good

[@Totalavulsion]

To someone who doesn’t ever really watch ice hockey or pretend to understand it, the fighting just seems so odd to me that it’s part of the game

[@albertreynolds9287]

I'm. Same new to ice hockey these fights are unbelievable

[@albertreynolds9287]

Why is this allowed

[@kr4zyk0re4n]

It's because the game is super physical. And tensions heat up because they have sticks and speed people get targeted and it eventually reaches a climax where people fight. After the fight it settles it. Fight always stops when guys fall to the ice.

[@kr4zyk0re4n]

Hockey physicality matters for protecting the puck and stealing the puck. And puck battles . People even deliberately body block slap shots. Sometimes guys fight to protect the team or team mates. Fights get banned hockey dies. I don't watch for fights could careless if no fights happen but they need to be allowed if the two consenting combatants vote it.

[@Crazygamer_257]

​@albertreynolds9287 fighting in hockey is allowed to basically hold players accountable, increase viewership, and decrease tensions. It's entertaining, can shift momentum of a game, holds players accountable, and gives fans of all teams something to cheer about. While hockey as a hole is trying to limit the amount of fights they certainly still happen on occasion, back 10 - 15 years ago when I was a kid fighting was very constant in many hockey leagues. It has tamed down some but it's not gone. Yet...

[@mikehammond5459]

Good go

One purple face and one clean face. Hmm wonder who won that one? 🤔

[@CaptainHammerFists]

The purple is from the last six fights he had within two weeks… this kid is a rookie and has been taking on all the heavy hitters in the league. Look him up. 6’7 240lbs. The bruising was already there.

[@chr970]

@@CaptainHammerFists I stood next to him at a cafe. As usual in most sports, heights and weights are exaggerated. More like 6’5”, and maybe 215, 216. Pretty skinny arms and shoulders.

[@robmorrison1043]

A DRAW? between who, Reaves and Rempes jaw!

[@mirandasalinas9412]

Draw here ❤ Reaves face is open with no visor taking 6 left jabs and some rights clean. Rempe is wearing a visor. Reaves punches look good, but not much impact through a visor. Great entertainment 👌

[@Cam-cc7xg]

Look at their faces. One clean, one purple. You’re delusional.

[@mirandasalinas9412]

​@Cam-cc7xg Do your research before making delusional comments. Rempe was already Bruised up from fighting Mathieu Olivier. Rempe got more Bruises fighting Nicolas Deslauriers. This fight with Reaves was the easiest challenge for Rempe. DRAW. Keep quiet and study more...

[@Cam-cc7xg]

@@mirandasalinas9412 Regardless, you can see Reaves land way more and heavier punches than Rempe. You’re just mad cause you lost the game.

Y is goon wearing a visor???

[@SM-tq3hn]

Why don’t they take their helmets off?

[@MaNnYrOk]

First off Rempe better be on the playoff roster. 2nd we need another guy to step up and back the kid up. He's taking on all challengers and I think he deserves to see his teammates stick up for him a bit. I nice team fight would do. Preferably against the Bruins.

[@angusmillar1106]

Why have fist fights been banned in rugby but not in ice hockey?🤔

[@fairgolfer]

Matt flights a lot. He's a good fighter but he also gets hit a lot. Repeated brain blows are known to cause problems (CTE) long term. He's only 21

[@Moses030]

I fear in an attempt to stay in the league and entertain us every night Matt Rempe will become another Derek Boogard - RIP

didnt happen this fight but keep not having a clue

[@BillyTibb]

No chance against reaves love the balls on rempe though. If was shorter he’d be an even worse fighter the length on him is everything pause

[@FREEDOM-bk4rv]

Reaves pretty much just showed up. Nothing impressive from Reaves here. Rempe the kid did good . I'd say a draw. DeLauriers and Olivier did better than Reaves. Rempe is definitely a tough cookie.

[@DrumKiller2]

Reaves definitely fought more conservatively compared to the others. He hung in there though and showed that he can still do it at 37.

[@mrichardmoore]

Shouldn't Rempe be a better fighter with his size and reach advantage? Is this why the Rangers don't want him playing in the playoffs?

[@MrDMF567]

Rempe is the biggest p fighter in the nhl! The bum can’t fight but at least tries. I’ve fought wannabe tough guys tall like this at the bar and it’s beyond hilarious them thinking they can fight! You either have it or don’t! Key to knowing if someone can fight is if they look for one or instigate it like Rempe usually does! People that can really fight don’t look for it but can if needed! Stay humbled or be humbled

[@Sil3ntB87]

This is ridiculous. The kid doesn't need to fight/ be "challenged" every game. There was absolutely no reason for this. I love a good fight and solid open ice hits that blast guys off the puck, but this is absurd. I understand Reeves is only good at being a goon and fighting with the rare lucky point, but just because he's on the ice doesn't mean you need to fight the kid. Not a Rangers or Leafs fan either.
