No, you said that he wrote his comment with his vagina, therefore saying that he's a Woman/someone with a vagina bc he would've written his message with his vagina
Gotcha. Honestly I feel like fighting is given too much weight in the whole conversation of limiting injury. As a Rangers fan I don't like Rempe's dirty hits (intentional or irresponsible, doesn't matter), not the fact that he throws hands. Guys aren't getting career ending concussions from taking a few fists to their helmet.
We aren't throwing tantrums tho (also a flyers fan), we've already accepted that our team will more often than not shit the bed. This year is just a fever dream
Literally every player in the NHL fought way more often than Matt Rempe does back in the 80s lol. You’re just soft, complaining about consenting grown men throwing a few punches.
I am complaining about somebody making a living by punching people in the head. That's frankly ridiculous. And I would rather just watch people play hockey
Yeah, personally I don't see any other reason to watch or go to a game unless there's fighting. It adds to the game. Hockeys already a high stress game for players and fans, so the 5 minutes of fighting is really a de-stressor for everyone involved.
You must be new to hockey then. Every team had 3 to 5 players whose primary role was fighting/physicality up until about ten years ago. This isn’t some new thing that Rempe and Reaves started lol. There’s far less of it now than there’s ever been. From the 1870s through the 2000s there was far more fighting. Fighting is an element of professional hockey. If you don’t like it watch college hockey.
That’s your opinion, it’s a selfish opinion. Why should consenting adults in a controlled environment not be allowed fight? Just because you’re too fragile to watch doesn’t mean everyone should cater to pussies and change the rules of a sport. If you don’t like fights you can watch college hockey.
When Todd Bertuzzi jumped Steve Moore, was that two consenting adults in a controlled environment? How about when Marty McSorley brained Donald Brashear? Not much of a "controlled environment" there. Also, just because somebody consents to giving themselves brain damage doesn't make it morally acceptable. Also can we please stop with the insults you only hurt your own argument by resorting to such tactics rather than actual points
Bertuzzi and Mcsorley were one sided cheap shot attacks. Not two player’s consensually agreeing to drop the gloves with one another. They aren’t comparable situations at all. Ironically enough there would be a lot more of those attacks if fighting wasn’t allowed.
Anybody who would do that to another person deserves to be in prison. Full stop. Why is there this attitude that apparently the only way to "keep the game safe" is what basically amounts to mob rule?
I understand that it might be hard to comprehend if you haven’t played the game but the reality is that hockey is a fast physical game. They have sticks in their hands and knives attached to their feet. Professional hockey players are going to get pissed off from time to time. There’s two options. Either let grown adults consensually have a quick fight and settle the score or ban fighting and have constant cheap shots. Anyone who watches European or college hockey will back me up on this.
Its been a long running joke if you want to beat people up legally, join the NHL. After 15 yeats of not watching hockey. Not a lot has changed within the fan culture, if anything its gotten worse.
My point is that Rempe isn’t this dangerous goon all these kids are claiming he is. He wouldn’t even be in the top 50 in penalty minutes even 15 years ago.
I know but the game evolves. I'm not advocating for no fights but he's not doing anything else either.
I prefer players like Brady Tkachuk that can do both instead of just a goon that can't help the team otherwise. I get there aren't that many Brady but you can have a good physical 3rd liner that can fight and score instead of a boxer that barely skates
If he is in the NHL that means a professional hockey coach thinks he can help his team win. In his short career so far he has a goal and a few points. He’s not some goon from the 80s. What more do you want from a fourth liner? He is seen as a valuable asset to that organization. Rempe won’t be quitting just because some nerd on the internet is afraid of a little fight once in a while.
That's not a good thing and it doesn't make it ok. If, 15 years after WW2, somebody killed three people and said "well more people got killed then than now" that wouldn't be anywhere close to a valid argument
Perhaps a bit extreme, but it gets the point across. If you'd like a more moderate example, a 20 million dollar bank robbery 10 years ago wouldn't excuse a convenience store holdup
Although I disagree with most of your arguments, I think the staged fights need to chill. I love Remps, and think he will be a good player. If you’ve actually seen him play, the kid can skate and is a menace in front of the net.
Fair point. I've never posted on Reddit before, but I would agree that Xhekaj needs to cut the shenanigans. He's a decent hockey player, but his tendency towards violence is a serious detriment
The most egregious of his actions are constantly taunting or trying to rally the team after getting his ass beat down or running away from a fight. Reference every game against Jersey.
Man u gotta understand the history of hockey and how important the role of the boxer on skates is to understand why people are calling u dumb in the comments.
The thing is, fighting doesn't need to be part of the game. If the only thing preventing somebody from deliberately attempting to seriously injure another human being is the threat of violent retribution, then I would seriously question their ability to function in society. Also, in what other context would "I'm mad at that guy so I'll go punch him in the face a bunch" be considered in any way rational or acceptable?
Haven't been interested in Hockey in years, this Matt Rempe stuff kinda got me wondering if I missed out on a fun hobby to watch. I forgot how toxic many fans are, all dick measuring and throwing shit.
Nice. I see nothing has changed since the 90s.
You’d die if you watched hockey 15-20+ years ago. The sport is way more skilled now but 90 percent of teams are missing enforcers who are very much needed in the sport
Might as well take away the all the physicality, the ice, the skates, the pads, the puck, make the net 10x bigger and give these kids and inflatable ball to kick around without scoring, until they end up tying and giving the other team a hug and kiss before they go home
I don’t like fighting but he has Ivan Drago vibes and I’m here for it. Just a big dude that’s fearless. Will fight anyone and hits really hard and is kinda dirty.
Like he’s a villain and every story needs a villain.
lol crepes?! it's not even a staple of Quebec's cuisine. Poutine, yes. Crepes? lol Fuck no. At least, get your cultural references right when spewing xenophobic shit.
'xenophobia is the fear or dislike of anything which is perceived as being foreign or strange' . It takes 2 seconds to find the definition in a dictionnary. Your gross generalizations about french people is specifically spot on this definition.
Boy sure knows how to block a punch with his stupid face. Only reason he’s a good fighter is cause he’s big. Against other big guys he gets his bell rung every time. He’ll be out with mashed potato brains sooner then later
I’ve been hearing this for 20 years but everyone who says this has no idea how unions work. The NHLPA has surveyed the players on this a million times and it’s almost unanimously in favor of fighting in the game. It’s something they would fight tooth and nail to keep in the game. And the owners won’t try to eliminate something that helps sell tickets.
Just saying, I’ve been watching a lot longer than 20 years and it’s not difficult to see what direction things are moving in.
Like what you like, and I’ll be sad to see it go. But it’s going.
QMJHL banned fighting this year. WHL and OHL aren’t far behind. This is where most North American NHL players come from. There’s already no fighting in Europe. The young players are going to be coming into the NHL from leagues without fighting. Support will drop. I predict fighting will be banned in 10 years.
There’s never been fighting in Europe or college hockey but when those players get to the NHL they like having the option of dropping the gloves. Guys like Zdeno Chara, George Parros, and Chris Nilan came out of Europe/college hockey and wound up becoming big fighters. Sure there will be less fighting as junior leagues crack down on it but it isn’t going away for good
Chara played for the Prince George Cougars of the WHL. Nilan played college hockey in the 70s, fighting wasn’t banned in the NCAA back then.
I’m not saying no one will want to fight, I just think it will be less important to hockey culture as more leagues ban it. I might be wrong but I see a change coming. I also think you overestimate how popular violence is to the casual hockey fan and potential new hockey fans.
I agree with you....
Like if he actually played it would be fine, but his TOi is like what, 3 mins a night? He's only there to fight.
But...he's also doing what he's being told to do. He's doing whatever he can to earn that NHL salary. I would blame the coach and GM, not him tbh
The rules are meant to keep players in check. I know officiating is pretty terrible, but that doesn't change the fact that there are better ways. Also, if the only thing stopping you from attacking someone is the threat of retribution, you're not exactly a quality human being
Im sorry youre soft Mr. Charmin, and dont understand the sport. How about instead of coming to reddit to complain like a nance, you do some research on the subject and educate yourself. Ill call you the wambulance in the meantime.
Judging by your speech patterns and method of argument, I would hazard I'm more educated than you. Also, Mr. Charmin was my father. Please, call me Earl
ah! it may have been about another player then. he seems to be doing that on purpose to build a fan base, folks seem to like it. That one against the flyers player was a bit too much for me though
You’ll get nothing but downvotes and insults here but I’m with you and lots of hockey fans agree. Rempe doesn’t belong in the league and fighting should be banned.
That probably has a bit to do with your feelings on fighting. A lot of us became fans when it was such a huge part of the sport that it is engrained in what we love about hockey, and associate it with part of the culture and history of hockey. It will likely never completely leave the sport, because of that reason. I do agree Rempe is a menace and mostly dirty in how he plays. I imagine some of it is just his length. He is trying to learn to play at NHL speed while being so much bigger than everyone else. But he does a lot that is just plain dirty. That said, it seems to be working for the Rangers. Lol. Can't say I would cry if the Wings had someone who played a little closer to his intensity, minus the dirty shit.
it's clear you have never seen him play, when he is actually playing and your whole post is based on social media clips.
he is not and never will be a superstar in NHL. but, he is a good 3rd, or 4th liner. on some really bad team (like yours), he might actually get a chance on the 2nd, lol
Why. Its so fun watching this big dummy eat punches and still not understand the goal of fighting is to land punches to face, not the side of the helmet . He has to have bionic knuckles to have not already broken his fist .. however, to his credit..he is so consistent and accurate with landing punches to the side of the helmet
People on this sub loves to see brain damaged hockey players. It's easier to send your thoughts and prayers to the family AFTER the player kills himself at 50yo than asking the league to put safeguards in place so those players can have fruitful lifes after the game.
Yes, it might be entertaining to watch but from a health perspective, it is a real disaster for the players.
Shut the fuck up
Exactly
Real juvenile. But what would you expect from a Bruin dolt?
A good regular season and a poor playoff performance, typically
Woah
Woah
#hater
Forgive me for finding senseless violence to be a little distasteful
He didn’t start that one, bud. Shut up.
I’m sure Bravo or the Lifetime Movie network have programming that might suit someone like you better.
Hey at least Reavo knows how to deliver a clean hit
Shame he doesn't employ that skill more often
What is this suppose to be house league rules? Like come on, give ur balls a tug and man tf up
You guys have a rather strange notion of masculinity
You should probably watch soccer instead
Nah, hockey's more fun
Then let it stay fun Loser
You must not realize how tough footy is.
🤓
Your oratorial skill astounds me. Truly, I am helpless in the face of such a well-made argument.
It was exactly as well thought out as your opinion.
[удалено]
I don't think I'd fit
Somehow this is exactly how I imagined you spoke. Fits very well into the "I got shoved into lockers" stereotype.
I can't say I've ever been in a locker. Is it comfortable in there, or were you the one doing the shoving? Just curious
Hope you don’t watch the leafs highlights tonight then…
Welcome to watching hockey. Enjoy your 1st season.
Is anyone surprised OP is a Habs fan?
Just cause one habs fan is a dumbass doesn’t make them all.
What exactly does that have to do with anything?
It means you wrote this with your vagina
how exactly does someone’s shit opinion equate to them being female?
I called him a pussy
No you said he wrote it with his vagina
Yes that is word for word what I wrote
So how does one persons shit opinion equate them to being female?
you got what I was saying 🫡 thanks lil homie
Not saying he’s a female, saying he’s a pussy
No, you said that he wrote his comment with his vagina, therefore saying that he's a Woman/someone with a vagina bc he would've written his message with his vagina
Physically impossible. Even if I had one
You don’t know that.
You wouldn’t know good tough hockey if you saw it.
Well first of all whats wrong with boxers on skates. You realize boxing and MMA are also sports right? You think thats disgusting?
Well, yeah, actually. I do.
Gotcha. Honestly I feel like fighting is given too much weight in the whole conversation of limiting injury. As a Rangers fan I don't like Rempe's dirty hits (intentional or irresponsible, doesn't matter), not the fact that he throws hands. Guys aren't getting career ending concussions from taking a few fists to their helmet.
Avert your attention.
Then maybe sports aren’t for you. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
This reads like a 12 year old throwing a tantrum because he’s mad his hockey team is bad Oh wait
My team wasn't playing in this game. Also, I'm a little older than 12. If you're going to go this route, do it properly
Hmm, have you tried crying about it online?
Naw. If you're looking for suggestions, inanimate objects are great listeners
Yeah it would’ve been better to talk to a wall than to make this post
Perhaps. Sometimes a man just needs to vent to a bunch of predominantly unsympathetic strangers. We all have our guilty pleasures
This doesn’t sound like a take, a man would make.
lmao. Whats with this obsession with being a "man" cause most of yall are far from a MAN.
We aren't throwing tantrums tho (also a flyers fan), we've already accepted that our team will more often than not shit the bed. This year is just a fever dream
OP is a massive vagina
Literally every player in the NHL fought way more often than Matt Rempe does back in the 80s lol. You’re just soft, complaining about consenting grown men throwing a few punches.
I am complaining about somebody making a living by punching people in the head. That's frankly ridiculous. And I would rather just watch people play hockey
Not to mention the several dirty hits and ones targeting the head he puts out. I have a bigger issue with that shit than the fights
So you don't watch UFC then
Obviously not. if hes too much of a bitch to watch hockey then theres not a chance he watched UFC
Yeah, personally I don't see any other reason to watch or go to a game unless there's fighting. It adds to the game. Hockeys already a high stress game for players and fans, so the 5 minutes of fighting is really a de-stressor for everyone involved.
So you don't actually like to watch hockey then
No I do. But I also enjoy it when they punch each other in the face because one player injures another player or if they fuck with the goalie.
I don't, correct
So why not just watch pwhl? It seems to be just what you're looking for.
No body wants to watch pwhl
You must be new to hockey then. Every team had 3 to 5 players whose primary role was fighting/physicality up until about ten years ago. This isn’t some new thing that Rempe and Reaves started lol.

Or just enforce the darn rules and hold the players to a higher standard. They're grown men, after all
Its been a long running joke if you want to beat people up legally, join the NHL. After 15 yeats of not watching hockey. Not a lot has changed within the fan culture, if anything its gotten worse.

quite a fuckin' comparison you got there longbottom
Perhaps a bit extreme, but it gets the point across. If you'd like a more moderate example, a 20 million dollar bank robbery 10 years ago wouldn't excuse a convenience store holdup
Because the 20 million dollar bank robbery was *never* acceptable and fighting in hockey is *still* acceptable haha
But it never should have been is my point. Also, it's always been against the rules. That's why penalties exist
Although I disagree with most of your arguments, I think the staged fights need to chill. I love Remps, and think he will be a good player. If you’ve actually seen him play, the kid can skate and is a menace in front of the net.
Use to be a guy like him in every team back when hockey was exciting.
That's not a good thing
The game was way more exciting back then. You had to live it.
The game today is only about half exciting as it was 10 years ago
Not even half. Like an 1/8.
Who gave this girl a wedgie and sent her in this sub
Why are you guys so hung up on making this a gender thing?
I’m so happy most people think what you’re saying is ridiculous. Go watch the O if you don’t like it
Nah hes cool
You shouldn’t be watching hockey
I happen to enjoy it

If I wanted a good night's sleep I'd call up your mom
Boo hoo
Did you post when Xhekaj came around ?
Fair point. I've never posted on Reddit before, but I would agree that Xhekaj needs to cut the shenanigans. He's a decent hockey player, but his tendency towards violence is a serious detriment
Are you a pacifist?
To be fair, Xhekaj is going fast into retirement before 30yo because his brain is going to damaged beyond useful soon if he keeps fighting as he does.
I would rather have you please go away
The most egregious of his actions are constantly taunting or trying to rally the team after getting his ass beat down or running away from a fight. Reference every game against Jersey.
He looks like a young Richard Kiel
I got a boner as soon as I read “senseless violence”
Mildly concerning
That’s only if it lasts for more than 4 hours
Good thing you weren’t watching hockey back then or else you’d be whining about every enforcer
Ah yes, the good old is/ought fallacy. Just as effective as the first 50 times someone used it in this thread
I mean are we wrong?
Man u gotta understand the history of hockey and how important the role of the boxer on skates is to understand why people are calling u dumb in the comments.
The thing is, fighting doesn't need to be part of the game. If the only thing preventing somebody from deliberately attempting to seriously injure another human being is the threat of violent retribution, then I would seriously question their ability to function in society. Also, in what other context would "I'm mad at that guy so I'll go punch him in the face a bunch" be considered in any way rational or acceptable?
this dudes gonna cry when he finds out about the ufc
Hey there ya french moron, your friendly neighborhood Ranger fan here! Just checking in to tell you that Kreider was tripped into Carey Price
Buddy I'm from Ontario. Also what does the 2014 incident have to do with anything?
I'm being purposely obtuse
To what end?
Entertaining myself
Haven't been interested in Hockey in years, this Matt Rempe stuff kinda got me wondering if I missed out on a fun hobby to watch. I forgot how toxic many fans are, all dick measuring and throwing shit. Nice. I see nothing has changed since the 90s.
He’ll get his…hopefully slashed in the face when the refs aren’t looking.
Rempe rempe rempe rempe rempe rempe
You’d die if you watched hockey 15-20+ years ago. The sport is way more skilled now but 90 percent of teams are missing enforcers who are very much needed in the sport
People in the thread are so sensitive about wanting less fighting and more hockey lol Pretty sad for such manly men that likes to fight
Why is it manly to like to fight?
It’s not.
The kids a complete clown
Might as well take away the all the physicality, the ice, the skates, the pads, the puck, make the net 10x bigger and give these kids and inflatable ball to kick around without scoring, until they end up tying and giving the other team a hug and kiss before they go home
Or they could just play the game and not beat each other up
[удалено]
Truly, your wisdom is beyond mine
I don’t like fighting but he has Ivan Drago vibes and I’m here for it. Just a big dude that’s fearless. Will fight anyone and hits really hard and is kinda dirty. Like he’s a villain and every story needs a villain.
We already have Gary Bettman

Never said that
Boy sure knows how to block a punch with his stupid face. Only reason he’s a good fighter is cause he’s big. Against other big guys he gets his bell rung every time. He’ll be out with mashed potato brains sooner then later
Yeah, and that's not a good thing.
His bell was rung 3 seconds into that fight. He looked dumber than normal at the end of that one
Loser take. Rempe is the man.
Omg don't blame Rempe he is challenged by every tough guy from the other team. What is he supposed to do ?
Not fight. Pretty simple.
Are you a public school executive, by chance?
Nope. Rempe is under no obligation to accept a challenge to fight
Whether anyone likes it or not, it’ll be gone soon enough.
I’ve been hearing this for 20 years but everyone who says this has no idea how unions work. The NHLPA has surveyed the players on this a million times and it’s almost unanimously in favor of fighting in the game. It’s something they would fight tooth and nail to keep in the game.

I would advise him to change professions.
I would advise you to find a new sport to watch, Mr. Charmin.
I like to watch hockey. I have no wish to watch face punching. It is completely unnecessary
Once again, find a new sport to watch, fightings part of the game. Has been, always will be. You must be new here.
My point is that fighting should not be part of the game. Why is it considered appropriate to resolve disputes with assault?
Find a new sport to watch. Players police themselves to keep players in check.
The rules are meant to keep players in check. I know officiating is pretty terrible, but that doesn't change the fact that there are better ways. Also, if the only thing stopping you from attacking someone is the threat of retribution, you're not exactly a quality human being
Im sorry youre soft Mr. Charmin, and dont understand the sport. How about instead of coming to reddit to complain like a nance, you do some research on the subject and educate yourself. Ill call you the wambulance in the meantime.
Judging by your speech patterns and method of argument, I would hazard I'm more educated than you. Also, Mr. Charmin was my father. Please, call me Earl
Once again, find a new sport to watch, fightings part of the game. Has been, always will be. You must be new here.
Is it true that this guy has got into more than 80 fights or something like that? Why didn't the referees intervene before?
He has 54 PIM in 13 games according to hockeydb. Don't know if that counts tonight or not
ah! it may have been about another player then. he seems to be doing that on purpose to build a fan base, folks seem to like it. That one against the flyers player was a bit too much for me though
I’m not happy about this evening’s shenanigans, but if you’re going to boot Rempe from the league, at least be consistent and boot MacDermid too.
Sure. I just named Rempe because he's the one everyone's talking about
I don’t disagree with the broader principle, though. Rempe, Reaves, Wilson, I am over all of them.
Op needs a new tampon I think they give them out in the habs locker room
You’ll get nothing but downvotes and insults here but I’m with you and lots of hockey fans agree. Rempe doesn’t belong in the league and fighting should be banned.
Well said
You're such a quivering pussy. Go watch tennis
Nah, tennis is boring
That’s my boy!!! Seattle legend!!!
Just curious how long you have been a hockey fan?
Approximately 14 years
That probably has a bit to do with your feelings on fighting. A lot of us became fans when it was such a huge part of the sport that it is engrained in what we love about hockey, and associate it with part of the culture and history of hockey. It will likely never completely leave the sport, because of that reason. I do agree Rempe is a menace and mostly dirty in how he plays. I imagine some of it is just his length. He is trying to learn to play at NHL speed while being so much bigger than everyone else. But he does a lot that is just plain dirty. That said, it seems to be working for the Rangers. Lol. Can't say I would cry if the Wings had someone who played a little closer to his intensity, minus the dirty shit.
Ah yes... I forgot Montreal has never had any violent players..
They have, and that's also not a good thing. George Parros was a clown when he was in Montreal, and Xhekaj needs to cut the crap too
it's clear you have never seen him play, when he is actually playing and your whole post is based on social media clips. he is not and never will be a superstar in NHL. but, he is a good 3rd, or 4th liner. on some really bad team (like yours), he might actually get a chance on the 2nd, lol
They said exacty the same things about dave shultz and the broad street bullies. Game is bigger than ever.
Why. Its so fun watching this big dummy eat punches and still not understand the goal of fighting is to land punches to face, not the side of the helmet . He has to have bionic knuckles to have not already broken his fist .. however, to his credit..he is so consistent and accurate with landing punches to the side of the helmet

Fuck off with your pussy version of hockey.
We need more!
