THE OFFICIAL Matt Rempe Fight Club

[robertocarlos]

Reaves beat him. Rempe asked for the fight to be stopped. Kid will be dead by 65 from CTE. For the love of God please ban fighting.

 

[Slats432]

This is old school enforcer type crap. None of this is defending teammates, ensuring that stuff doesn't go sideways. This is pugilism. I don't hate fighting, I hate the kid fighting every game.

 

[Ninety7]

This dudes brain is gonna be like ground beef if he keeps fighting at the rate he is

 

[Crabapple]

I thought the game had moved away from this type of player. It's entertaining, no doubt. But I feel for the kid, he knows he's there for one reason, and it seems like he has to do it every night.

 

[TGWL]

He lost, you don't ignore takedowns in a hockey fight either, this isn't MMA, but it certainly isn't a kickboxing match either, it's a fight.

If your opponent overpowers you and takes you to the ice, that isn't a negative on him, that scores points. Delauriers outlasted Rempe, landed some solid shots and then landed the takedown, I give him the nod.

It only scores points for those who need to hand out a W or L to players and justify a reason to swing a vote. The takedown was meaningless and was at the end of a slug fest. There is no way you look at that fight and grade it on a take down. You absolutely ignore takedowns when it was done in a meaningless way to end a slug fest.

You are aware that most fights that arent KOs or takedowns end that way right?

Ban hitting first. The low hanging fruit is fighting but is much overstated with what fighting is in 2024.

He is going to be in bad shape after he faces Xhekaj on April 7

Retirement fight?

 

[Acallabeth]

Yea he can't do that either, because you have idiots like Deslauriers who pulled his leg out from under him during the fight almost causing him to land on his head. So he needs to keep the helmet on.

Maybe he'll wear a face cage as well? This way he can fight and not be afraid that someone punches him too hard.

Stuff like that is what separates true tough guys from goon wannabes. Making sure he has some additional protection fighting with half a foot height advantage

Hmm...not the same but good try?

Retirement fight?

We will see if Wifi can handle Rempe's reach advantage. He's 4 inches shorter.

Xhekaj’s strength is going to be a real problem for him

 

[Leaf Fans]

You don’t actually think Reaves is the best fighter in the league, do you?

He is until someone better comes along.

 

[Kords]

Retirement fight?

He likely wont be in the lineup post TDL

It only scores points for those who need to hand out a W or L to players and justify a reason to swing a vote. The takedown was meaningless and was at the end of a slug fest. There is no way you look at that fight and grade it on a take down. You absolutely ignore takedowns when it was done in a meaningless way to end a slug fest.

Taking your opponent down is never meaningless, Delauriers had more left in the tank and ended the fight with the advantage.

You don't ignore takedowns simply because they don't fit your narrative, Rempe was outlasted and lost the fight at the end, not simply based on the takedowns but the work that was being done to close the fight on the feet as well.

If the fight is even on the feet and one scores a take down to end the fight, I'm scoring for the guy who took his opponent down over the guy who was dropped on his back every time. Put the palms down and try to be objective, this isn't boxing.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Congratulations to him!

Got his first coach fired.

 

[Sheppy]

He is

He is now, most likely. No Lucic, and well, MacDermid is still there who he’s had trouble with.

“Fighting’s not dead”

Well it’s on life support if something like that is considered a good fight. Two guys afraid to take a punch, scrabbling around punching pads until they just abruptly stop and peacefully separate.

They shouldn’t stop the game for sideshow crap like that.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Congratulations to him!

Got his first coach fired.

And his first panic trade. Devils in shambles thanks to Rempage.

Going for a takedown is in opposition to trying to throw punches: it is not something to be celebrated and has never been something celebrated by hockey fight enthusiasts. It is not used to determine the winner of a hockey fight and, yes, who wins a hockey fight is more like boxing.

In this clip, you would say Galley is the winner of the fight since he body slams Chelios while never throwing a punch while standing. In reality, Galley looks like a bitch for high-sticking Chelios and then deciding to tackle him versus trading punches. This is a draw since no punches landed and Galley can't win a fight without throwing a punch.

Rempe is playing tonight?????

I was assured he had been fined 6 trillion and suspended for 612 games. Or was that the Devils game he got suspended for? Yeah. That was the one. In that one he was fined z9 trillion and suspended for 1118 games. I think it got reduced on appeal to absolutely nothing and that’s why he played against the Leafs. Must have won another record appeal to play again tonight

I can’t keep up with how many times he has been suspended and fined thus far.

Pretty sure they just can’t physically stop him from playing because he’s too powerful

I'm not sure where you delcared you had the authority to speak for "hockey fight enthusiasts" across the globe, but I'm one and have always taken takedowns into account at the end of a fight. If you physically overpower someone and unwillingly take them off their feet, plant them on their back that is absolutely something that should be taken into account when judging a fight.

Your link doesn't work but based on the description is a terrible analogy for a fight where both opponents had a relatively even exchange on the feet for around 1 minute before Rempe gassed, was hit and then wrestled to the ground to end the fight.

When all things are even, you give it to the guy who scored the takedown, point blank.
