Just like that, some nerd f***ed around at Jurassic Park and now T-Rex's are a thing again.
Yay!
Yay!
They had him listed as out with a LBI lower body injury. I guess that's the techincal term when you get your ass handed to you.
If there were no long term consequences, I'd agree fights are fun. CTE takes the enjoyment out of it for me. And the league has just seen a player break the record for wins as a goalie, is seeing another chase down the record for goals, has probably the fastest player that's ever played, the trap is dead... are you not entertained? Then maybe MMA is more your thing.

Everyone does if you fight long enough. No shame in it.

Rempe is a pretty trash fighter for his size
Imagine getting dominated and taken down by a guy you dwarf

Well there's a lot more to hockey than just fighting. So if you think the current high-tempo, high-scoring, no clutch and grab league is boring just because it has fewer fights than it used to, are you really that much into hockey? I think it's a legitimate question.

I can enjoy hockey and enjoy the fact that hockey has fighting.

Fighting and snarl is what makes hockey entertaining. If it was just skating and scoring and skating back to the bench, very few would watch. Nhl needs to lean into what makes it unique and what draws new fans. What rempe is doing is drawing in new fans. But then theyll watch devs play another figure skating team and be checked out. Nhl needs more rempes
Nick D landed maybe like 2 punches to rempes face. He kept hitting rempes shoulder. Rempe pummeled him so much so nick waved the white flag and went for the take down

I liked hockey way more in 2012 than now. When fights were regular and teams hated each other. Now its basically like beer league where these guys wanna get beers together after the game. So yes I prefer my hockey look more like sabres/sens 2007 than what is usually does in 2024
lol at thinking Xhekaj is too good or valuable to fight

Are you sure you should be questioning anyone's "a intelligence"?
Xhekaj is NOT a plug. He shoud be a capable 2nd pairing defensman. He also has a big shot and is capable of playing the point on the PP.
So if you watch a game with no fights, no matter what else happened in that game, you feel that was a boring game?
Hockey is what makes hockey entertaining. Fighting is at most the cherry on top of the sundae. Do you have any proof that fighting attracts more fans than it turns off?
The way I see it, if fighting truly attracted more fans, you'd see fighting in the NFL, NBA, and MLB. You'd see fighting in soccer.You'd see the MMA become the most popular sport in the world. And you'd see the NHL lean into fighting instead of tamping it down. But we don't see that. Because it isn't true.

I generally don't care for fighting in the league because quite frankly I don't find them all that interesting because they are often just kind of shitty.
Good fights are awesome though.
That was a hell of a bout. Quite enjoyable.

Another clueless post. He is valuable because opponents are afraid of him. They tend to avoid playing the puck when he is in the vicinity. After all a significant number of players in the league will do anything to avoid being hit. And currently he is the only Hab that anyone is remotely afraid of.

Why the hell is MacDermid scratched tonight against Toronto.
We could've seen him and Reaves go.

Yeah I remember Fedoruk. He was a solid heavyweight. Orr nearly killed him. It happens when you fight enough.
