THE OFFICIAL Matt Rempe Fight Club

[forever1922]

Great fight.

As a neutral observer, it looked like Deslauriers realized Rempe is getting the upper hand and he had to pull the sweater. Vet move, but he shouldn't fool anyone on here. Rempe takes it.

 

[Sheppy]

A bit disappointed Deslauriers grabbed the back of Rempes leg, that could have been bad.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Rempe got destroyed by a guy 6 inches and 40 lbs lighter. Then again, he also got his shit pushed in by Wade Allison a while back who is even smaller.

Enjoy the CTE, kid!

The CTE comment is pretty low. I wouldn't say that to anyone. Not a joke imo.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

I'd say Deslauriers won that by a little.

Gotta love Rempe's willingness. Guy's been up for 3 games or so and has thrown down with Martin and Deslauriers.

 

[Daves a mess]

Rempe got absolutely murdered lol

Guess your Ranger hate didn't allow you to see your boys mangled forehead.

Not a SCRATCH on Rempes face

I missed that. On purpose or just reaching?

He's also nine foot three and it's not like he got his shot at NHL on the basis of his goalscoring touch.

Rempe is a menace

 

[BB79]

Meh.

I gotta be honest, I lost interest in hockey fights when I started watching UFC a decade ago.

Watching two plugs throw sloppy haymakers at each other while struggling to balance on skates is pretty boring now.

I dont want fighting out of the game or anything, enough fans and players seem to feel its important. I just use it as time to grab a beer.

Noob mistake. You keep a small cooler with your beers in it on the floor next to your recliner, refill it during intermission with the beers you put outside in the snow to chill before the game.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

He's also nine foot three and it's not like he got his shot at NHL on the basis of his goalscoring touch.

Shockingly good skater, though. And not just for his size. He's at minimum league average as a 15 foot tall, 5 feet wide unit.

That's the main reason he is where he is. His skating will keep him in the league as a 4th liner.

 

[BallardEra]

Absolutely disgusting. This is 2024, not 1984.

*sips soy milk*

It was dirty, 100% on purpose. Been asking for someone to get the replay.

Looks like it was on purpose, you can see it at the end here…

The CTE comment is pretty low. I wouldn't say that to anyone. Not a joke imo.

This isn’t the mid 2000s where CTE was just becoming a more known thing. Rempe would have grown up knowing exactly what he’s getting himself into and is getting paid to do it. Just like any other of these plugs still fighting including Deslauriers. If they want to make a career out of it, it’s their choice, so why would I care?

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Rempe very lucky he didn't thud the back of his head at the end there

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

Never change, Philly

 

[BLNY]

Cagey Deslaurier does a good job overcoming Rempe's clear reach advantage.

 

[Byron Bitz]

This Rempe kid has played 3games in the NHL and he’s already making a lot of noise.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Rempe just had a gorgeous tip in front of the net, too. Almost a goal.

He was such an odd draft pick. Absolute bean pole in his draft year and more of a tall, skilled guy. Just too lanky and goofy to really be a big offensive threat so the pivot he made was a complete 180.

You can see he still has some of the skills, though. I really love his potential as a long-term 4th liner.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Yet here you are crying about it, so clearly it's you that cares.

 

[Number8]

Rempe got absolutely murdered lol

I’m not going to pick a winner. It was a hell of a scrap. End of story.

BUT your assessment??? Absolutely silly.

 

[Melrose Munch]

@Beerz old school enough?

 

[armani]

Wow that was a good old fashioned Donnie Brook, sick fight, Deslauriers has balls/head of steel.

Uh, wow. I just saw that. Yeah, that's a complete bush league move by Deslauriers.

 

[Jacob]

The NHL needs to send a swift message that this is NOT okay and this kind of violence has no place in the sport.
