THE OFFICIAL Matt Rempe Fight Club

[AvroArrow]

He's gonna get a serious injury sooner or later, how many fights is that already now ? I get he's trying to make a name for himself but the coaches or trainers or someone needs to be smart enough to tell him to settle down. Looks like a great depth guy every team would love to have, but how many punches to the head can someone take lol

 

[Leafsfan74]

He will smash Reaves next time. Matt was beat up already. Kinda dirty hit by Matt thou, I don't like that part

Reaves fougth last game too and a 37 year body takes a few games longer to recuperate.

That 6'7 empty fridge left hit feet to board and charge a guy much shorter. Complete chicken s*** move. The league is a comedy. They need to be getting rid of these knuckldraggers who intentionally hurt players.

 

[thusk]

That's not how it works. Chara trained as a wrestler as a kid which developed his skills to effectively grapple, gain control, and use his size. Big does not equal good fighter.


The second photo clearly shows his skate on the ice. Once one accepts the misinformation as truth, one does not readily accept any evidence to the contrary.

1 it was 100% charging, hebtook minimum like 5 stride to go hit boosh and its also 100 % boarding

2- main point of contact is head

3- his 2 feet leaving the ice, you cant ignoring that fact.

4- player was in vulnerable position

it should had been a major penalty and game misconduct and its should be a suspension, absolutly no doubt about it

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

It doesnt clearly show anything of the sort and doesnt excuse the crazy amount of strides leading up to it. Its one thing to bounce off a guy gliding in for a check and another to leap into it. You can see the difference but whatever.....

I doubt you would be singing the same tune if Reaves took out Fox in the corner the exact same way.

If you go back through our discussion, you'll note that I didn't say anything about the amount of strides he took. That's because he did take a lot of strides, and I would be incorrect to say otherwise. I commented on the incorrect parts of your argument.

I would be singing the same tune if Reaves took out Fox the same way. You're projecting a bit with this assumption, though. i.e. the truth can change depending on which team you cheer for.

I don't care about either the Leafs or Rangers, so there goes that theory.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

There's nothing in the rulebook about having your skate down that negates charging. He launched himself up into the opponent as the other picture shows.

Funny how someone claiming others are spreading misinformation, is the one spreading misinforamtion. Learn the rules.

The very first clips shows an example of this.

I didn't say that having the skate down negates charging. I was responding to a poster who said his skates were already off the ice when the hit was made.

I didn't say that having the skate down negates charging. I was responding to a poster who said his skates were already off the ice when the hit was made.

Then why are you bringing up him leaving his feet after contact was made.

"I'm just gonna say shit that doesn't mean anything!"

Just admit it (you won't) you don't know the rules, and you were on your high horse but realize you don't know shit.

Not arguing points 1 and 4. 2 is incorrect.

3 occurred after contact, and I only argued the assertion that the skates were off the ice prior to contact.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Then why are you bringing up him leaving his feet after contact was made.

"I'm just gonna say shit that doesn't mean anything!"

Because the other poster said that it happened before contact was made.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Because the other poster said that it happened before contact was made.

Uh they didn't say anything about it happening before contact was made, you just came outta no where to say it. Because you don't think it was charging because his feet were on the ground, which isn't the rule. Then you spout some shit about others spreading misinformation like a moron. Haha

Yea, he had to answer the bell after that.

I wonder if he's gonna get a call from the league too. Takes a million strides, leaves his feet, hits the guy in the head and theres an injury on the play.

Refs missed calling it for sure.

Didn't leave his feet until after contact was made, which happens with most hard hits. Don't think he hit him in the head either. Lyubushkin's head smacked into the glass pretty hard from the force of the hit.

Oh, OK,

Now that it clears some things up and taking away everything else, your admittance that he took an unusually high number of strides makes the play obviously a charge and therefore illegal right?

Can you at least admit that?

 

[Pink Mist]

He should get a game or two for that dirty charge and headshot, but because it was towards a Leaf player he probably wont get anything.

His 2nd headshot in his short career. Already making a name for himself as a dirty player

 

[thusk]

the moment his 2 skates leaving the ice changing absolutly nothing.. at the end he jump on the hit and his 2 foot leaving the ice at the end, thats the only thing matter

for point 2 you said it was incorrect, sorry go watch replay again because they re absolutly no doubt than head became the primary point of contact and the reason is pretty simple. a 6'7 feet man jumped to make a hit to someone in a vulnerable position

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Just stop engaging him he knows he’s wrong. It’s also true the league doesn’t give af about it. Not a word from the media. Nothing will happen except this kid getting brain damage and out of the league in a year or less.

As you quoted: "Takes a million strides, leaves his feet, hits the guy in the head and theres an injury on the play." That sequence suggests that "leaving his feet" is of some importance. If you leave your feet after a hit, it doesn't mean anything. The reasonable takeaway is that the poster meant before contact, and that takeaway was confirmed by a subsequent post.

Having this kid fight pretty much every game is criminal. Guys like Tie Domi fought a lot, but even he was still going most games without a fight. Five fights in seven games is crazy.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Love this kid what a legend MAKE HOCKEY VIOLENT AGAIN

 

[1specter]

On track for CTE and scrambled brains by his 22nd birthday

Can you at least admit that?

Yeah. I don't have faith in the league to make a consistent call on it, but that could either be charging or boarding.

Hahaha
We're going from "he said it" to "it suggests". No one said anything about feet on the ice until YOU brought it up. He launched himself into the Leafs player, it's charging, you don't know the rules. Pipe down.

You're a joke who has no business talking about misinformation when you're as uninformed as you are.

Try another sport, hockey clearly isn't for you.

Yup, the kid is 21, his career is just started. I get he wants to be a difference maker and maybe have that macho type of personality or name for himself, but bare knuckle punches to the head will cause serious damage to even the toughest guys.

 

[Habaneros]

Meh. If you’re 6’7 and 240, you should be beating the living piss out of everyone.

It’s like when Chara fought. Everyone else is at a disadvantage.

Go back to 1998 ..watch Chara get beat up by 6 '1 foot tall 200 pound Darren Langdon

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

How else can you take that stated sequence?

You are pretty angry, so I'll forgive you for conjuring posts where I said it wasn't charging.

You clearly think it's charging, you wouldn't be bringing up his feet being on the ice as a rebuttal to someone claiming it's charging.

I'm just here laughing at some putz telling people to stop spreading misinformation when they in fact are clueless. Stop acting like a flat earther, you don't know shit.

Naw, taking a million strides and leaping up into a vulnerable player is a dirty hit. Its textbook charging and always will be. He's not bouncing off anything, he's elevating up and hes already in the air in both photos.

The second photo clearly shows his skate on the ice. Once one accepts the misinformation as truth, one does not readily accept any evidence to the contrary.

 

[jcs0218]

Anyways, it seems like this game had good playoff-like intensity.

Both the Maple Leafs and the Rangers, in my opinion, are in that group of 7-8 teams that I consider true Stanley Cup contenders.

 

[Machinehead]

The Rangers look really bad here.

This poor kid is visibly hurt, losing fights, and they keep sending him out there to fight some of the most experienced fighters in the league.

For what, exactly?

If he needed to make an impression, he's made it.
