After Matt Rempe introduced himself to the New Jersey Devils with a nasty hit on Bastian that resulted in a match penalty, he fuelled an NHL rivalry. Not by dropping the gloves with Kurtis MacDermid though. Instead, with another nasty hit on Siegenthaler their very next game that resulted in a suspension. Needless to say, there is bad blood between these two! So, tonight as the New York Rangers hosted the New Jersey Devils, we had ourselves a game for the ages! The opening period alone had 162 penalty minutes handed out!! We had a full line brawl, 6 scraps, 8 players ejected from the game on top of the coaches going at it all before we even played 5 minutes. From start to finish, this was old time hockey and I loved every second of it. I cover it all in todays NHL video!

As the old joke goes, "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out."
No way that’s so true 😂
Gotta love it
Anyone still laughing at that joke in 2024 is a loser. "The last time I heard that joke I laughed so hard I fell off of my dinosaur!" There, now I can be an idiot telling ancient jokes like you too!

Nice one boomer.
I bought tickets for this game months ago to check off Madison Square Garden in my efforts to go to all the active NHL arenas. Never thought I'd see such a barn-burner.
Sickkk
Man you saw a good one. The brawl then the game down to the wire. LFGR.
That's awesome. I bet you had a great night.
Barn burner?? How TF you think that game was boring lmao
Or a bigger waste of twenty minutes. I hate that stuff.
Lost in all this brawling and bad blood was the simple beauty of the fact this game contained Kaapo Kakko scoring on Kaapo Kahkonen.
:D That type of all-out slugger war is not really present in Finnish elite hockey culture. Never was, as far as I can tell. We got our asses handed to us so many years, nay, decades by the Punakone CCCP team - had to concentrate on the actual game to get anywhere internationally.
"He's from the same city as me. Same first name also. Nice guy." -Kaapo Kakko on scoring against Kaapo Kahkonen
kaaappoo's... Are you sure, you ain't missing an "a".... or an "o"?! Lmao-oo... Seems like it NEVER stops snowing in sunny finland... Get lost, NOBODY cares about these two punks.. theM ARE losers... BOTH
Kaapo Kakolinen. You can’t get much more Finnish than that Suomi perrrrrrrkele saatana 🇫🇮
Our Kaapo's doing alright there over the pond in the big lights
My favorite thing is that 2 seconds is the SECOND fastest a fight has ever happened at MSG
What was there a pre game fight?

That IS hysterical. 😂
@@Hawkboy39lol yup also the second fastest against the devils at msg lol
When they start another fight before the game, we'll count it as 0 fight.
1:52 the ref just standing and watching the chaos with his hands on his hips is too funny
I believe that's a linesmen his job isn't to break the fights up it's to jot down all the rough still he catches to give the final tally when it's time to give out penalties
DId you get to see the reff pick up a stick at one point so he could clear out the fighting ring? XD
@@oscarabel3935 Not the first time that’s happened.
Finally letting it happen, been ruined forever now
Wanted a front row seat to the show.
As hockey fans can we all come together and agree that TNT sucks balls?
TNT better than ESPN. I think that’s the consensus.
@@HarrisonHollers I hate both tbh. The amount of split screen while they interview someone is insufferable though and often stupid camera angles for extended periods of time and anytime I have to watch PK Suban an L
@@brawngp1702 the league needs more money and the two bring in a lot plus grow the game so I’ll deal with it. TNT has some good teams of Brendan Burke and Kenny Albert. I’m biased cuz they call games for NY teams but I’ll stand by them. Hopefully they cut the crap of odd angles and disrupting the game. Twitter criticism does seem to change things like that.
@@HarrisonHollers that’s my only gripe, the broadcast is fine but I swear whenever a goal is scored but I’m listening to a random interview it makes me want to jump out of a window and the crazy angles throws you off and makes it hard to follow the puck. At least I haven’t seen the suspended cameras in a while.
@@HarrisonHollersdogshit is better than cowshit

🤣🤣🤣
He had actually dropped his blocker and invited the other goalie to fight but he declined
Im from the UK and never watched hockey, this just came up randomly in my recommended so i randomly clicked it. WTF have i just watched? A sport where before they even start, they have a legal fight? lmao wtf
the beginnings are usually more of a hockey game. But yes its a sport that has rules and mechanics for proper fights between players
I hope you keep watching
He literally explains why in the video. The players had major beef and so ofc they are itching to fight. Yes it's absurd it can happen but that's hockey for you. Great sport imo
You should check out hockey from the eighties - way more violence
Or... you can go to the opposite extreme and watch FIFA football where players throw themselves on the ground and flail like a beached salmon at the mere hint of physical contact.
lavvy takin the gum out then promptly throwing it back in his mouth after shittalking was hilarious
lol
Fights? Yes please. Dirty hits? Big no.
Agree 👍🏻
Arranged fights are cringe, unless they are like this, otherwise I agree.
That is part of Rempe's "game". Hopefully, he is out of the game within a few years before the CTE is too serious.
I remember lots of those fights years ago. It was time to go to the washroom, get a drink and come back 10 minutes later when I got to watch some actual hockey start back up. Booooorrrriiinnnggg stuff, all that fighting. If you like it, you have other real options to watch. It should all be treated as deliberate attempt to injure, since that is what they are doing. This is why I gravitated more towards football the past 20 something years. Players get hit, start quarterbacks get hit and you don't see so called goons or enforcers going after the guy who does the hitting. Modern NHL players should be playing non contact hockey, because they go after anyone that lays a good hit. Not talking about that Rempe idiot... those were not good hits. He got suspended, so that should have been the end of the episode.
@@johnmorrison9758 Wdym? If there is a dirty hit on a star QB in the NFL, you bet the players are going after that guy. Yes good hits are good hits and there should not be game-stopping fights for them. But for this crap Rempe is doing, you bet he deserves what he's got coming. I am not even a fan of either of these teams and I knew someone needed to kick Rempe's ass.
The 1970's called and said hey you're stealing our thunder.
With shields on and most can't even throw don't think so
70's they didnt wear helmets youre a long way off
@@gschu7385can’t blame them for rules the big wigs implemented. Those same guys would be forced to do the same even though this was after their time He’s not off in any sense of the word
Narrator: What did we just witness? Crowd: Rempe’s longest shift so far 😂😂😂😂😂
I was watching this live (because I'm a rangers fan) and it was crazy to see everyone drop the gloves 3 seconds in
Funny, because before this I watched a reel on Insta that showed a game from 2012 where the rangers and devils had a full 5 man brawl right after puck drop. These teams have deep rooted animosity
lol
I miss the days when goalies would have fought alongside their teammates just for the hell of it. If Patrick Roy, Mike Vernon, Ron Hextall, Dan Cloutier or Chris Osgood were in that game they'd have charged across the ice and started throwing down with whoever was in the other net.
When I was a kid a was even afraid to look at Ron Hextall😂
Shester-kin is a chicken 💩
You forgot Ray Emery who beat up Martin Biron and then went after Buffalo's tough guy ... with a smile on his face that said "finally I get to fight someone".
@@jrwardle1 I was just about to bring up Razor. He beat their tender down and then fought their tough guy with a smile on his face. He was probably one of the hardest fighters of his era, if not the toughest.
If anyone actually pissed off Shesty he wouldn't take that. Would've been awesome to see the two goalies just start going at it though.
TnT. Brutal. You need people calling the shots who know the sport. HBO knows how to do things
Brendan Burke is one of the best commentators in the league.
TNT sucks, they never call the game, they just jaw jack through the game, not even talking about the game, I have to mute them
@@HarrisonHollers Play by play and colour commentating was fine. It was the camera angles that the broadcast director picked. You need to show wide angles for perspective, not just cut from tight shot to tight shot.
There’s only one answer to the title. A classic and throwback Devils vs Rangers rivalry rebirth
Old school game for sure. New York and NJ were both on fire about NHL hockey after this one. You don't hear much about the NHL before the playoffs on NY talk radio these days, but this game was at the top of every broadcast. Rangers and Devils don't like each other and that stretches back to the 1994 ECF coming down to Game 7, a game that if the Devils had won, they would probably have 4 cups. The bad blood is now generational.
It was even mentioned on Hannity… He showed the replay.. he had a better angle than TNT did. lol.. He went on to mention this was old school hockey and it reminded him when he played street hockey and fighting and competing like that just made u stronger and tougher in life. He said if anyone thinks that’s politically incorrect.. too bad for u, who cares!! 👍😲😎 Go Rangers, Go Hannity!! Go Trump!! Nothing like playoff hockey!! It’s the very best in sports!! 🥅 🏒
Totally agree! 👍
Good team bonding for both teams. Love to see teams have one of these every now and then. Now I am going to go cry some Penguins tears knowing none of my team, outside the ones you don't want fighting (Crosby, Letang) actually know how to stick up for each other lol.
Petterson has dropped em a few times in defense for team mates, hasnt he? I only watch some Pittsburgh games
@@irlmusic8001 I suppose that is true
Ah good old male bonding - it's more like young idiots reproducing the errors of past generations of players, trying way too hard to convince themselves they are men NHL clearly a circus right now
Rebuild time in Pittsburg
Fights like these are great for rivalries.
This is a great format and fantastic delivery. Thanks!
Great video, man. You did a really good job of explaining what happened. 👍😁
MAN I LOVE THIS CHANNEL AND I LOVE YOUR VIDEO STYLES BRO. AMAZING WORK AND KEEP IT UP!
This is the best breakdown of this game and fight. New sub!
Just found this channel. I'm so sad I missed the game but thank you so much for covering this. Nice work.
I am SO glad that u mentioned the camera angles.....the nhl broadcasts have had this problem, not showing what is happening else where when its important. I had to rewind it to see the other fights start....i wasnt able to, because they only kept it on the one fight.
hey man, just wanted to say that I enjoy your commentary on these videos!
Thanks for this. You should do more full game highlights as it's refreshing when you're showing the true grit of hockey. And not the generic highlights we get from the NHL.
You don't see a lot of games where that many gloves come off-- at the opening drop! I love to see this level of passion between two teams. It's not over either- this will carry on for some time when they meet again.
*Curtis Lazar* is all smiles… handing gloves to the ref, pepping up Mercer in the box.
I don't like this interpretation. As far as the intent of the rule the fights all started at once
It's so losely worded that any fight after the first fight of a game can be a GM.
It was just a message from the league. Everyone knew something wild was going to happen. The league wants it to be known that the future of this sport will involve less toughness. Never mind the fans loving it and the ratings being high when these things happen.
@@OSA-bf7tv it has nothing to do with toughness- they do not want to be on the hook for any CTE that is all.
@@OSA-bf7tv Agreed a message from the league. Less toughness not so much. The league has many areas where they need to clean up being consistent on hits to the head is one.
@@pjpredhomme7699 I guess I don't really understand that argument. Why would anyone be on the hook? It's all voluntary. The players choose to play the sport. The risk of injury is inherent. If a player is concerned about CTE, they can choose to not participate in fighting. Just my opinion, but the league doesn't need to eject players for fighting in most circumstances. Fans loved it, players loved it, even the broadcasters loved it.
Rempe has 69 PIM in his short 14-game NHL career. He's recorded an average of 5 minutes and 26 seconds of ice time per game, for a total TOI of 76 minutes and 4 seconds. In his three games against the Devils, he's racked up 47 penalty minutes in 5 minutes and 3 seconds of ice time. His first game, and this game on April 3rd, he tallied 30 penalty minutes and just 15-seconds of ice time... He must have the lowest PIM to TOI average ever (sadly, the free stats sites don't let you search for that combination) with just 1.1 TOI/PIM... [TOI wasn't tracked by the NHL until the 1997-98 season] He's averaging 4.93 penalty minutes per game, well ahead of the all-time PIM leaders Dave Williams, Dale Hunter, Tie Domi, and Marty McSorley. Of top players by PIM, only Steve Durbano has a higher average of 5.12 PIM/G in Regular Season, and a career average of 5.04 PIM/G including the Playoffs. [Durbano only played 8 seasons in the NHL from 1972-1979] It'll be interesting to see how long his career will be...
He's a stiff to provide a distraction for the fans who weren't around for the better quality of hockey years ago - the NHL is a clown show now with politics and boring/convoluted parity of teams - franchises in non-hockey locales and just dull hockey. At least, this circus provokes debate and discussion. At the end of the day, though...Zzzzzzzzzz....
The rangers are now 11-2-1 with him on the ice and 40-19-3 with him out. He doesn’t have to play to have an impact. They called him up for his toughness, and have went from a meh team to the top of the nhl since.
His brain is gonna be mush from all the fights before he knows it. He’s not gonna have much of a career
@@danp2306 The ultimate hockey I ever witnessed was the Red Army team of the 70’s and 80’s dismantling the opposition. Poetry on ice. The shit offered these days is over priced and underwhelming most nights.
@@dieterhoch8273 it's ironic you mentioned that, I watched a few clips of it - 80s - a few days ago. However, remember - it was mostly during the NHL season - so, players didn't get breaks. 'Not sure how long the Russian leagues ran back then - but, I don't think it was 80 games. Nevertheless, the NHL teams weren't ready yet for the style the Russian teams played - especially, the Red Army squads.
It’s nice to see a bit of the old school hockey playing out again. Obviously we don’t want this every game but talk about reigniting a rivalry! Love to see it
More Please. What a great dual and solid job with the presentation.
nice job on the recap. i hate when games arent on msg because i like to watch the post game recap the next day since i am usually working during the games. subbed
That line brawl with New York rangers with New Jersey devils had a good old fashion 80’s style of hockey
MacDermid is classy. What a game. Helluva fight from the Devils.
Those two coaches need to Man Up,grow a pair and get at it...the old Ranger now Philly coach wouldn't run away like the one you got now.Get Philly on the phone and make the trade before it's too late.
Bratt is so fucking underrated
Rule 46.7 can go kick rocks
It's a good rule to keep the game from getting out of control.
@@JH22533 If fighting is "getting out of control", then vast majority of fans love to see out of control games.
I agree with the rule but it shouldn't be applied in situations like this one. This is just a good old-fashioned line brawl. Nothing got out of hand.
@@OSA-bf7tv it's fun to see 1-2 fights a game. If it's a constant thing or happening all the time, it's not hockey anymore. I like the game of hockey with a few fights to rally the team and fans.
@dylanmcdowell3894 perhaps. But who's to say this wouldn't have happened again 12 minutes later. Another line brawl. Started by the players who lost their previous bout. Soon you could end up with the same guys going at it every shift. I'm here for the enforcer role to return and fights to happen in games, but it can quickly get out of hand.
All respect man. rivalry aside respect the players and have fun, was nice to see macdermid not talk shit after the game. It's what the game is all about, respect.
Probably at least in part because he rocked Rempe's little bitch mouth.
I don't even watch hockey but i love how they instantly threw off the gloves and started fighting at the drop of the puck.
good ole hockey game.
Love to see this, reminds me of the good ole days lol.
What a nice, sportsmanlike sport! Really a pure display of skill vs skill, i can absolutely respect that! Definitely much more of a sport than esports!
We need more hockey like this!!! I miss old hockey
Tom Wilson changed this franchise
for the better, I imagine Devils fans are feeling pretty similar lately to how Rangers fans felt towards the end of that 2021 season. Poetic.
what. a. game.
I remember when that same scenario happened between Vancouver and Calgary. Gotta love hockey!
I absolutely lost it when the game started and you just see gloves and sticks flying like a cartoon show xD
reason #104 why TNT and ESPN as broadcasters is such a dumb fucking idea. All four streams? same camera angle. cmon.
You can refuse the money from the two channels and shut the league down? Whichever you like. Dumb content by a dumb commenter.
Ngl Rempes bad hits on “better” players is going to get Mika and Panarin etc fucked up eventually..
Too bad for Panarin. Maybe he should insist that Rempe is fired (or sent to prison) if he cares about his own safety.
Boston fan here. Wishing I was a Rangers or Devils fan. Love this rivalry, need more of this!
This was awesome. I'm kind of sad I havent seen a line brawl from my favorite team (Habs) in a my lifetime. I am not in the NHL but I feel like this probably fosters some type of unity for sure. Sick beginning to the game.
ESPN/TNT DOESNT KNOW HOCKEY, BRING BACK NBC
We need a new jersey.vs new york playoffs next year
2:42 thanks for explaining why they got different penalties than the other 4 fights that happened. Didn't know that and was curious when I saw the penalties.
Poetry in motion, absolutely beautiful!!
I don’t like Rempe that much, because he can’t even do clean hit like others, a lot of underhanded and dangerous foul plays.
He’s had some bad hits but most of them have been great, clean hits. Hes a real good player for the 4th Line who can be valuable creating momentum, screening goalies, generating a forecheck.
EATADIK
Your soft as a pillow
Go watch soccer
Why are you even watching this sport
I keep hearing that Miller cleaned the floor with Marino, but there's no camera angles of that fight. I wish I could see it!
It was a domination. Look up the wide angle shot by Ryan Novozinsky, he shows it
And then Miller reached his palm down to the ice as to say, "you're too small lil bro"
I know nothing about hockey but the fact that the official broadcast have stats for fights timing AND that it’s only the second fastest is legit hilarious
This is one of there most amazing non-sports related things I've ever seen in sports. EVERYONE on that ice agreed that a game could not be played until BUSINESS was handled!
they couldn't settle it with a proper fight like boxing or MMA, they gotta waste all the time of the people who bought tickets to see this shitshow
To quote the movie Slap Shot: Too much, too soon! 😂
Jomboy Media is gonna enjoy this one
Jomboy is a clown
He needs to cover more NHL and say forget Cricket and all that other nonsense.

I genuinely do not care about either of these teams - until they play each other. One of the best rivalries in sports.
Came for the sport, stayed for the fights😂. Bless you ice hockey, bless you.

i have a signed oil kings bobble head and a signed hat and a signed card from him. Legend

Great video to watch love it!!
this is the best video covering this brawl

What the hell did we witness? So no one watched hockey in 2012? That game started with both 4th lines fighting and DeBoer and Tortorella about jumping over the glass at each other. It's called the Hudson River Rivalry for a reason. And we play passionate hockey up here. Bout time y'all noticed.

Those two checks from behind to the board... Two days ago, NYI had in Philly two same checks, one injuring Couturier, and none got called. More interestingly, they have scored two goals from ensuing breakaways. That's predictable officiating...
The NHL doesn't care about cheap shots and injured players. Besides, most of the games are fixed. Gambling is a huge industry in sports now.
Hell yea Dermy! As an Avs fan, I miss him
hope he stays like his fire Players such as him just want call a place home he's welcome here in Jersey when issues get sorted out by upper management BIG TIME!!!
Same for Us Kings Fans Nater!!....👊🔥
The Kings and the Ducks, cross-town rivals. I remember a game where two got into it. They were yelling at each other the whole time in the penalty box. As soon as the doors opened, they went at it again. Good times.
Great video❤ thank you
Rempe is like 12ft tall and yet still lift his arm to aim right at other player heads… what a rat
He owns the devils though. McDermott said he couldn’t wait to get a crack at him and it looked like a draw. Not a beatdown at all. Devils are such trash
IK, he could get away with such brutal hits like he wants if he just tucked his elbows. But no he wants those dirty hits for some unknown idiotic reason
Good breakdown man.
so no one is gonna talk about the baguette in the crowd 😂
I am loving Rempe. Not so much the dirty hits, but I haven't seen so much fighting in the NHL for awhile until he showed up, and I'm all for it!
No. He is an ass-clown and a no skill scrub. He’s akin to a drunk driver - entertaining if you’re a sadist, but otherwise just a reckless, dangerous fool.
i never watched a single hockey match in my life. this was probably the first time xD and i think this is insanely funny.
phenomenal coverage that no look backhand pass to put the devils up 3-2 was sick
Gotta hand it to Goodrow. Dude danced with Bahl
Old time hockey. Love it
I mean, that altercations was due to happen, and neither team decided to put their best players as first liners. Definitely a wild one, but not a surprise.
I actually went to the game before this against Pittsburgh, it was a fun experience especially for my first game although they lost
NJ hasn't won one game against the Rangers this season, too bad. Who's going to the Playoffs??
1st round exits
@@j-e-t-sjetsjetsjets7127 Not this year!!!
Rangers have a hell of a team this season and the Devils could win against any team and also be humbled and lose to any team this season, more times the latter. When Jack missed the penalty shot against Anaheim with 2 seconds left to tie it, from basically a gifted penalty shot from Vetrano, I knew there wouldn't be a post season. Blowing leads over and over in games after this happened showcases the fork in the road they took not to make the playoffs.
Rempe on the fast pass to CTE, kid got handled.
he gets handles just about every fight. i guess being a punching bag revs up your team mates. He is not going to last long
@@Hook727 Yup. Very sad to see
GREAT for Hockey!!! Made the game more intense and meaningful! Let the boys fight!!
The tickets for this game were actually a birthday present. My brother and I were getting to our seats and we wanted to watch puck drop. So we stopped for a moment to see it, and this fight breaks out. The crowd went insane for it. Also hilarious that later on when another fight break out, the ref botched and said "Penalty for f*ing" instead of fighting, I was dying.
Why didn't those 8 players just get 5 minutes for fighting??
2:33
because one fight broke out like half a second before the other ones which meant that the other four fights were deemed as escalating the situation which is a match penalty.

Rempe really trying to match the likes of Marchand and Wilson when it comes to dirty hits lmao.
You just named two seasoned veterans with a lengthy track record of being dirty, Rempe has been in the league for 6 weeks and made like two questionable hits. The elbow wasn't even intentional, he already apologized for it and said that's not what he wants to do
The term dirty takes on a whole new meaning when a player doesnt do anything besides be dirty. Atleast Wilson and Marchand are NHL quality
Marchand is a captain that can play
Rempe doesn't have the skill to be Brad Marchand, and Marchand was never this blatant about his elbows.
@@TheSnapback hes a scumbag doing scumbag things, and it took him until the 3rd game to answer for his scumbag antics. He's garbage, won't be in the league very long.
GREAT NARRATIVE AND COVERAGE, THANKS! This is exciting to see. GOOD GAWD I love hockey! This will set up an intense rivalry for years. Being a Ranger fan, though, Rempe's hits remind me of the questionable stuff Marchand does all the time. And I HATE that guy! I hope he gets some coaching to hit hard but clean, and then kick their butts in fights.
