#NHL
That was awesome. First NHL shift for Rempe and he fights Matt Martin. Martin is no joke and Rempe definitely won too.
But they weren't even mad at each other... just show ponies. If you love fighting so much, why not just watch MMA and nothing else. At least when Iginla, Bieksa, Larry Robinson, Clark Gillies fought back in the day, they were legitimately mad!... not like these clowns.
Fighting is a big part of his game, why not showcase that on his first shift and put other fighters on notice?
Clowns, that's what they are - Hockey player Neanderthal mentality has hardly evolved in one hundred years
@@vinny_vertigo What are you talking about? Isles just got embarrassed two and a half minutes into the game on a soft goal from the blueline and needed to get the bench back into it. Matt Martin is the one who asked Rempe to fight.
What an absolute dogshit take@@vinny_vertigo
Career stats- TOI -1 second. PIMs-5. That’s awesome.
And he won against one of the league's best fighters, to boot!
@@SallowDawn yeah right try reaves
I just read about this guy in the swedish newspaper and Matt Martin said "do you wanna fight" and Rempe was like "hell yeah" love that
Vilken tidning?
So, at the end of the "battle", they thanked each other (a small moment where Martin nodded his head, said everything)
@@jockejocke1 Sportbladet
Rapport @@jockejocke1
Yeah, Martin did Rempe a solid. Helped him get is name out there.
6’7” 245 lbs, haven’t seen a guy like this since Chara retired.
Soderblom in Detroit last year is 6’8
Similar weight as well
Rempe and Martin spoke after, and he told Rempe he's got a better reach than Chara. So happy for the kid.
@@sueny631that’s funny bc chara rag dolled Martin every time they fought
nikita zadorov. couple inches shorter but a couple pounds heavier.
Finally can watch hockey fights on yt without the vid being age restricted
only a matter of time.
rempe just fought in todays game and its age restricted so that didnt last a while
No way, age restrictions to watch hockey scraps. That's criminal.
@tarunramanathan9340 Little kids see the news, people shooting one another, the President was ordered to pay a woman a whole lot of money for raping her. Israel is in the process of a genocide. It's a brutal world 🌎. Kids see that stuff. I do get you though.
@tarunramanathan9340 To much for them, OKAY. I think if you turn on the news, you' might see what is going on in Gaza, Russia, still trying to obliterate the Ukraine. In North America police are beating almost exclusively black males. Mass shootings in schools, because politicians simply refuse to do anything regarding this issue. Take a stroll and look around, so many people don't have a place to live. Pushing around a shopping cart that has all their worldly possessions in it. Tell them, you can be anything you want, Doctor, underwater welder, rodeo clown, or a homeless individual pushing around a shopping cart. This world is brutal, man.
Great tilt. Love the nods at the end. Respect.
yes, the nods ..
Damn, that Rempe guy can fight! Great tilt
I use to watch him in the WHL he is not that tuff
Its easy to fight against guys you are allot bigger than and have a longer reach
@@wozzi71 No it isn’t. Those are advantages, but you also need to actually know how to fight as well
Rempe is HUGE!
Matt Rempe is a tough Canadian kid from Calgary with farmer strength.
Olivier was not impressed. Lol. Rempe learned a lesson on Columbus.
@@nileswillis7992 come on dude had time to study him! even said pregame!!
@@nileswillis7992Olivier landed a few big bombs in that one it can happen. I still appreciate this kid’s toughness! He just needs to pace himself. If he wants to fight every game his career won’t last long
I have Rempe in my Franchise mode in NHL22. Love him. Nice to see him doing what he does best
Why you playing nhl 22?
This will be an all time classic game.
So refreshing seeing someone on the NY Rangers side hold his ground against Martin. Usually Martin is the one dealing all the damage... Was really impressed with Rempe.
Matt Martin is awesome. He's got honor, respectability, and he's tough as nails.
@@rocketamerica2450 Yet he's 100 a liability to the team. Him and Clutterbuck are completely useless and they take up 2 roster spots. Neither one will win a game come playoff time. Martin, 12 goals in his past 187 GP. Only 1 playoff goal during that time. Clutterbuck, 16 goals in his past 165 GP. likewise, only 1 playoff goal during that time. If they kept Martin on the roster, fine, I guess, although I still see him as a 100% liability. But keeping both losers on the roster is ridiculous and one of the reasons they'll never advance in the playoffs. You can't have 2 goofball, non-scoring, knuckleheads, who only take dumb penalties, on your roster in the playoffs. The Islanders brass is braindead at this point to keep doing it.
@RobPresq1717 Rob, are you saying the man has no honor, no respectability, and he's weak, his teammates would disagree. I met him a bunch of times, he worked at a sub place in Windsor, and he was a really nice kid. To me, Matt Martin is cool dude, 😎 Awesome even.
@@rocketamerica2450 I'm sure every NHL player is a great guy off the ice. My point is the Islanders continuing to have Mutt Martin and Clutterbuck in their lineup year-after-year-after-year is why they don't go further. Neither one contributes any scoring except the fluke goal or assist and then Islanders' fans wonder why they continue to fail year-after-year. Those two are useless and add nothing except leaving the Isles short-handed because of the bad penalties they cause. Keep one or the other, not both. It's a total waste of a roster spot at this point in time.
@RobPresq1717 I've met some NHL'ers who are pricks in a large way. Matt Martin, not so. I really couldn't care less about stats or how you feel about all things, NHL. Hope Easter is fun and you and you get to see your family. May Clarke Gilles soon be on the 5 dollar bill.
Rangers need that toughness. Wow.
Best outdoor game ive seen thus far and im and islanders fan
Good job kid. Nice to see you get a chance to
love it! wish they had another game with caps and tom wilson
Rempe I'm in ur camp dawg
Kids a monster at 21. If he can last this kid is gonna be scary in a few years.
Please, please keep Rempe!!!!
Way to go rempe. Love your toughness. Let's go rangers
Everyone notice how Martin held up right at the end? He could have punched him flat in the face, but didn't. Martin is a class act. 1:21, Martin could have nailed him. But didn't.
Martin lost
Boomer said "Matt did the right thing by Rempe and that's all I'm saying "
i saw that to
No we didnt
And Go T-birds! Glad to see the beauties Barzal and Rempe playing at the stadium series.
I love the new NEW YORK RANGERS JERSEY👍
Not a ranger fan but good call on the jerseys - awesome
Martin did the boy a huge favor
Yup same with Deslaurier yesterday, giving the guy a purpose help him get foot in the door
Wow who knew solar powered debut scrapping would be so enjoyable??? Fantastic, mad retro look, i'm losing my mind!!! ha ha ha haha
Love watchin rempe in the A. Lets goooo
Fighting is back in NHL hockey I love it!!
6’7”, 240? The second coming of the Boogeyman!
Awesome
When I realized how small he made Martin look I learned of Rempe's size. Great game!
I'm not even a Rangers fan but I love this kid so far! I hope he'll have a bright future in the team.
Class act by Martin accepting the fight!
Martin made a nice punching bag for Rempe!!!!!!
Rookie making his bones
Not a Martin fan but give him credit that kid Rempe is a big boy. Martin held him own.
You give Martin credit? Rempe is a 21 year old kid... Martin has been dishing out knuckle sandwiches his entire career... I give Rempe credit for being about to go toe to toe with Martin.
Martins the toughest guy in the league. Rempe the rookie was phenomenal against him
@@user-qb1lq9xf1dtoughest guy in the league? That’s a stretch… reaves, xhejaik, deslauriers off the top of my head are tougher
@Ck69420 wish lucic didn't go the route he did...think there would have definitely been a fight between him and reaves finally this year. Same with xhejak, they would have been good fights.
I think bro had more fights than goals at this point, becoming a fan
Now... IF the NHL realizes this kind of behaviour IS tolerated.... Ratings will soar like the 80s. They WILL come.
LOL that Was a fight 😂
We need more fights in Hockey like the 90s!
Now I wanna Arber Xjekai vs Matt Rempe on ppv😂
guarantee you it would be a better tilt than this one.
Finally, a decent fight. It’s been awhile.
Martin got worked
im perfectly fine with what Kempe and Martin did - fighting in hockey is fine. they get penalty , it ends mostly professional. +++ However, these guys, esp the team Enforcers, should require the LEAGUE after every game that a fight occurs the exam of a dr , spc neurologist, to determine the level of head trauma. IF the dr suspects any long term damage or immediate medical attention due to suffering concussion, etc, that player should have to get further eval and possibly sit out a game or two. +++
Rempe LGR!! 👏👍💪💙
Best enforcer in league at 21 Wilson will find out soon
rempe vs Reeves would be nice
..., but Domi (old) against ovechkin, even more interesting...
naa OV wouldnt fight him @@nyr1309
The Rangers uniforms look like the Old '90s Patriot uniforms (circa 1996 the Drew Bledsoe ERA)
good call
If this kid can develop some skills and become a good 2 way player hed be a dream come true ditto w the other big kid
Rempe is so huge i doubt he can contribute in the actual hockey game where the speed is too much for him
💪🔵🔴⚪️💪
Rempeeee….Rempeeee….Rempeeee 🗽🟦⬜️🟥
Lol great stuff gents!
Martin last hit made Rempe stop
Martin is TOUGH SOB very good debut
Toronto Maple Leafs should acquire Matt Rempe!
Why?... It's the NHL, not MMA. The main objective of hockey is to put the little round rubber disc into the net.... not sure you realize that. That's how these men win the Stanley cup, that's the big silver thing that kind of looks like a cup. If you like fighting, just watch boxing, nothing else. Extremely good athletes, especially the welterweights.
@@vinny_vertigo agreed, it's been a while since I've watched an NHL game and I decided to tune in because (A) I could since it was on regular TV, and (B) my team has always been the Rangers. My question is didn't they used to take their helmets off when the enforcers dropped the gloves? I mean they're punching each other in the helmet more than anything else! I always thought it was stupid when guys in the NFL did the same thing - smh.
Not one fan sitting in their seat.
Rempe W
Way to go Rempe,beating that cheap shot artist Martin.
Ok guys, Hockey Newbie here. Why did Rempe fight Martin so early in the game? Was there something that happened off camera? Or did they have a beef before the game?
Probably not. Martin is a seasoned though-guy veteran. This is Rempe's not only first game but first shift in the NHL. He probably instantly went to ask Martin to fight him and let him prove himself.
Martin said in an interview after the first period that he wanted a response to going behind 1-0 early, and knew Rempe would be looking to go, so it was a good match for them both
Rempe and Martin gave each other the nod during warm-ups. This is a rite of passage. Props to Martin. He told him he had a better reach than Chara. That's a hell of a first NHL shift.
Islanders were down early. A fight can get the team going and change (or stall) momentum. Rempe likely should have passed and said later, but he's 21 and learning
Thanks all for the insight! Really appreciate it.
I saw one islanders jersey in the crowd lol. Oh yea this is a fan base who only shows up when their goid or in the playoffs
Rempe becomes slowly but surely pain in the ass of hockey
You have a special ability to see what most did not see.
Not 1 punch from neither guys landed on the face, all punches to the helmet🤪
rempe!!!!!!!!
old time hockey is back baby to the dislike of our commisioner nev campbell
What a Chad
Probbie approves
Why tf does the away team have a goal horn too?...
Was always Rempe
He still has 3 more years to get bigger
NHL omg violence meanwhile... MMA
Your so dumb 😂 hockey isn’t a fighting sport where as mma is whole target Is to kill the other guy
not a single pouch landed? is this all ranger fans in here 😂
Even with how soft the league has gotten, matt martin is nowhere near one of the toughest guys in the league. Him and maroon usually just go through the motions without ever attempting to actually land a punch.
That's because these guys have realized the age of the enforcer is a dinosaur... which should have happened 30 years ago. If you love fighting, watch MMA, nothing else. Nobody stopping you. Myself? ... I would rather watch Connor Mcdavid, Nathan Mackinnon all day over Matt Kaumpf.
@@vinny_vertigo who said anything about me loving only fighting and not hockey as a whole? My comment is about how matt martin is not one of the toughest guys in the league. Keep your random self righteous tangents to yourself. How utterly irrational and embarrassing for you haha! Read slower next time. Let it sink in first kiddo…
🤣
Shades of Derek Boogaard. Rempe has obviously not learned anything. He's just another goon
cringe when the kid waved to the crowd
So much better if it was colored by ray ferraro.
Goof
This guy is a joke Do the Rangers really need this ??
Don't mind a fight, but at least be mad at each other... not being a show pony.
Nah screw that, this is what makes hockey the best sport to watch. Fights just for the purpose of energizing the crowd
@@abliteration1868I used to love watching fights in the Flyers "broadstreet bullies" era just like any other Canadian boy, then Probert, Semenko, then Laraque, Chris Nylan. It was AWESOME.... but then I started to think about it... ya know, if I want to watch fighting so much, why don't I watch boxing, pro wrestling, now MMA. Then what got me really convinced of this was when two heavyweight NHL "goons" went at it ( might have been Tony Twist vs somebody, maybe Todd Ewing), linesman broke it up, they tapped each other on the helmet, "good fight" they congratulated each other.... really?... AT LEAST BE MAD AT EACH OTHER... like when Iginla, Beauchemin, Bieksa or Larry Robinson fought, they were actually pissed off... not these staged fights where one 6'5" tough guy takes on the other 6'5" guy.... BULLSHIT! To recap, I don't mind a fight, but at least be mad. Not Ryan Reaves vs Arber Xakhai ( whatever his name is). That's what I say , I would rather watch the finesse of a Connor McDavid, Mackinnon, Cale Makar ANY DAY over watching Ryan Reaves do his stuff.
@@abliteration1868 If you love fighting so much, why not watch MMA and nothing else? This Rampel kid and Martin not even mad at each other... much like a scheduled heavyweight boxing match. I would rather watch Connor Mcdavid or Mackinnon all day over this bullshit.
@deanasplund123 You must be a new or very young fan of hockey, if you would've watched the 1990s Era of hockey you'd understand. But FYI I do watch MMA, but nothing tops a good ol' fashion hockey fight. You keep your young unpopular opinion to yourself, I'll keep mine to myself bud, if you can't enjoy a fight for the purpose to entertain a crowd, I'd suggest watching soccer instead
@@abliteration1868 yea this kid is so self righteous and does not understand hockey culture at all. He is constantly saying “if you like fighting so much, watch mma 🥴🥴🥴” as if we don’t enjoy every facet of hockey and only watch for the fights. Such a low IQ take on things
The fight backfired, the Rangers are losing. Martin is not the same fighter he was in his prime.
Rangers win !
And the final score is…
6-5 lol
Check the score now
He won't reply he is busy eating his own words🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rempe didn't land a single punch.
Martin is pathetic always has been always will be just a coward he'll cheap shot anyone what a coward. One fight I wish Rempe has actually shown why people think he's special but alass he failed & couldn't even handle lil marty mcfly.
martins washed, he should go dye his hair.
@1:22 why did Martin hold back some and not feed Rempe his fist?
He was gassed.
Youth won! (russian saying)
Anyone know how thinks just cause they have a player who's tall and big then oh no don't mess with them. Bs the smallest guy can easily ko a big slim Jim like the 21 year old youngster who clearly don't see it that way but it will happen at least onetime throughout its career of what its trying to achieve I think right.
Awesome
