I thought all the pre-game hype about Rempe vs Reaves was just dumb noise, to be honest. Hockey media desperate for a story. But once Rempe range Boosh's bells with that hit and injured him on his first game as a Leaf, there was no scenario where that game wouldn't end with a fight. If no one on the Leafs had acted after that, we would have been having a VERY different conversation regarding the team.

Dude is definitely not scared but maybe a bit too eager for his own good. That just isn't sustainable if you want a long healthy happy life. CTE is no joke.

He laid a bit of a dirty hit on Boosh so it was coming. Glad to see Reaves sticking up for the new guy.

I guess everyone forgot the years of 20+ fights in a season

I started buying fight tapes in 1984, and always have been a fan of a good scrap, but the gladiator movement to bigger and less skilled players was not part of the game as I viewed it. Two guys playing a shift and making some play that brings them to fight is pure, and more interesting anyway. But this kid is risking his future life to provide a throwback to the days of death. His teammates need to step in and give him a break. I cant believe he was back so quickly after he got knocked loppy in the Olivier fight. Sorry, not good, IMHO.

You can clearly see Homeboy telling Reaves "okay I've had enough" at the end, so obvious. That's why Reaves nodded his head

Rempe is going to be brain dead within a few more weeks. Doesn't matter if he's winning or losing his fights because he is taking a lot hard hits to his head. He is nothing more than a tall punching bag at this point. If he didn't really want the fight then he shouldn't lay a dirty hit on an opposing player.

Dustin Byfuglien knew to let up when hammering opposing players into the boards, because if he didn't, he would be sent to the box, and for good reason - half the players on the opposing team would have otherwise been hauled off on stretchers. The same rules should apply to Rempe.

Yeah left his feet there

The hit was charging, explicitly in the NHL rules what he did was charging. Ilya most likely will go through concussion protocols and subsequent care and precaution. Rempe left the ice, hurt Lybushkin, and had it coming. The thing with Reaves is simple. Last season Gudas and Bennett took liberties, and those included knocking Knies out of the playoffs. With the right grit and a guy like Reaves, any behaviour like that will be challenged. I love old-time hockey, but when you sit back and let your guys get hurt without any response, you set yourselves up as weak, and you lose any respect; I am hoping Reaves changes this.

the guy came in for his first matches and gave us the 3 or 4 longest heavyweight worthy fight in nhl in years

That's your opinion and you're welcome to it. I always hoped that fighting would disappear, that hockey team owners would decide that the game no longer needed goons to make it entertaining. Hockey with fighting is as exciting to watch as cars going around and around on an oval track or paint, drying on a wall. Rempe needs to learn how not to lead with his face.

Need a break?? Back in the 80's and 90s, guys like Bobby Probert were fighting constantly and didn't take "breaks."

Rempe biggest problem will be any aging player who justifies his roster spot by fighting to spark his team will target Rempe because they know he won't say no. He can expect regular visits to his neurologist by age of 30.

Rempe the best! he must earn good money.
