Olivier just halted that hype train good god lmao
Can’t win them all bud
@@doingit66ur still on the bandwagon💀
still on the bandwagon, eh? 🤣
@@Deadly_Ricardo_67 what bandwagon? This guy has been fighting for years Every fighter has lost fights
If you’re a man, Don’t use emojis unless you suck d**k. So You must suck d**k.
Respect to the kid but hes gotta take a game or two between these . He has another 6'7" linemate
Word up!
Agree.
Agree. He can’t fight two heavyweight fights in 24 hrs.
He got challenged - What's he gonna do?
@@humanbeing2420true but as a rookie player, a veteran or captain should stand up and give him a night off…can’t let him fight every night
People don’t realize that Olivier did something very noble here. He knew Rempe was stunned pretty good and instead of landing more he brought him done to spare him. Big time classy move there
And you won't see olivier next year he'll wind up in the AHL.
I really don't think Rempe had any choice in the matter.
@@user-pg8om6zn7w How so?
@@user-pg8om6zn7w triggered
This kid got rocked from the north, south, east and west all at the same time. Glad he got put in his place.
This.
Ehh barely. Kids been in 4 fights in 7 games. Maybe let the hands and everything heal before jumping right into another with a man who is fully healed
Why ? You jealous that he’s pulling hot ass in NY right now and fighting whenever he feels like it ? Bet you thought you were Alpha lol
because he lost 1 fight? hop off his nutsuck
Olivier brought him down to Earth big time😂😂😂
The kid is 21. Give me a break. Make the playoffs that would be something
It’s good for the kid, he’s got to loose a couple fights. It will make him better. And he will learn who to respect in the league.
what does age have to do with it. kid got fed. @@friscojones2960
To be fair, if you’re on Columbus you got brought back down to earth several years ago 🤣🤡
@@Jay-py1ow well I don't care bc I don't like Columbus
Patient counterpunching gets it done. Rempe got rocked pretty good there
exactly
You just saw the difference in being a fighter vs just being tall
He sure did. He didn't look so keen after he copped a few clean hits.
stoopid....
Olivier was wearing his helmet throughout the entire fight! Lmao
Olivier is a bad man. I've seen Rempe rough people up all week and thought he was invincible. That was awesome. Olivier is a tough, tough, bad dude. Props.
when you're 6'8 you think you're invincible until you meet your maker..... and that's what happened to this Rempe boy.....if he himself has put a target on his back for being cocky then he deserves everything the league is throwing at him........i won't feel pity if in every NHL game they go after him...until he learns to respect his peers...
@@memoranda1Olivier should have taken his helmet off though!
The guy cannot throw fists. Period. His physical attributes are all he has in a fight. Otherwise. He is laughable.
Pound for pound Olivier is the best fighter in the league! This guy has heavy, heavy fists and is quick. A Wendel Clark type fighter!
@@Smf7161 Olivier should have taken his helmet off. Don't pretend that it didn't make a difference.
I counted at minimum 10 clean punches by Olivier. That's gotta hurt. I kind of admire Rempe for being able to stay on his skates that long. He'll learn that, despite his size, he's not fighting teenagers in the WHL anymore. Brutal.
I think Olivier was holding him up L0L
The smiles on the Jacket's bench were hysterical.
Olivier's punches looks so quick and sharp... watching them almost gave me an headache.
Olivier is a very good fighter technically. The only one who got the best over him was Lucic.
@@richardmcallister2253 Josh Anderson beat him pretty hard.
This kid should not have to fight every night. He is going to end up with brain damage.
@@mosabari7681 He'll be fine. Sit out a few shifts, hit some smelling salts and get back into the mix.
Its kind of crazy that he's only been in the league for 2 weeks and they've already had him in numerous fights, against veteran fighters. He's not even truly done growing yet either, at this rate he's going to take some serious head trauma before his brain is fully developed
Out of all of Rempe's fights thus far, this one was definitely the best. Absolutely sat his ass down.
tripped his ass down great fight!
@@mattwilner3848 what you mean tripped rempe got destroyed here went down like a building being demolished. So lovely to watch
One of the fights of the year. Mind blowing. Simplement écrasant Mr. Olivier.
Olivier is Columbus' fighter, and he's no slouch. Absolutely unloaded on Rempe.
Probably does the same to his wife and kids.
@@MrGogogordopretty dumb comment from every angle.
@@MrGogogordoyou think the guy who protects his family on the ice would abuse his family off of the ice? Your comment is idiotic and offensive.
Look on YT for Olivier's post game comments about the tilt. Very classy and as is so often the case with the tough guys, thoughtful and he has a good perspective on things. I was impressed.
@@MrGogogordopoor fella……..did your guy lose the fight?
Did his homework on that one. Never gave rempe a chance to hold the distance. Bravo 👏. Win or lose, this guy is adding some much appreciated excitement to the league.
Rempe needs to take a break for a few games. And learn where to grab the guy to control him better. Grabbing him like that basically surrenders his reach advantage.
@spectre205 I think the kid should learn the rudimentaries of boxing, how to defend himself, and how to properly throw a punch. At 6'7, he already has a large advantage. Satanism will help out a bit to.
Problem is NHL schedule is having this kid fight every other night. Thankfully CBJ gave him a pass. You think Toronto Maple Leafs will pass on HNIC?
Another overtall, talentless thug. He’s in the NHL for a cup of coffee and forgotten.
@@PhillyLeotardo25 He should stop injuring players if he deosn't want to fight every game.
Discarded the mitts without hesitation in front of a cleeaarly bigger dude. Balls man.
Big man with an attitude, down and out! Outstanding
This Olivier guy got hands! Rempke got more than ROCKED, he got thoroughly HUMBLED🥶
Like I said elsewhere, Olivier is underrated. He did well against Lucic though I thought Looch landed the harder shots. You don't see Olivier the clear loser very often. I think the news is not so much how Rempe looked versus Olivier (he did okay but the experienced guy won) but how Rempe looked versus Deslauriers (Rempe did great against one of the top guys IMO). Rempe is pretty wide open like Rechlicz. But that's what makes him more fun than the duck-and-chuck guys. Dangerous way to do the job.
"Oliver guy" wow
olivier may be the toughest guy in the league, not the strongest but the toughest i’ve seen him take absolute bombs and jus eat em
@@purrformance What???? Are you blind? (and his comment is NOT changed or edited)
The kid got the worst of this one.
Can’t win ‘em all
@@albinogorilla9423 I haven't seen this dude win 1 let alone em all
Rempe has won every fight up to this one, hater.
@@generalzod2497lmao 😂
@@generalzod2497He didn't win the the fight against the flyers player Nicholas D, Don't tell yourself lies. It was a tie at best but the flyers player go few more punch in. Just because you threw a lot of punches, doesn't mean all of them connected. Look at all his fights and see how many punches connected.
Very impressed by Olivier. The guy is 6" and 25lbs smaller! That's a lot in a fight.
Hes played far more than 5 NH: games you idiot
He's 6"3', but yes much lighter
Rempe’s not very big for his height. Skinny guy
👍👍👍 He got put in his place. Was not as tough as he thought he was. Well deserved!
Olivier was throwing some SERIOUS bombs, and landed a bunch of them! Rempe got ROCKED big-time.
he bounced off the wall when going through the tunnel to the locker rooms, seriously rocked
Rookie got Rooked*
Damn Oliver rocked him.
You serious😂? Rempe smoked him he’s now 4-0 against other fighters
@@shoresy4084 LMAO Rempe lost this one for sure. MO dropped him
@@shoresy4084 you must not be watching the same flight as us what type of drugs are you taking? Because rempe got hit so hard that he stumbled out of the ice into the tunnel and was all bloody..
@@shoresy4084yeah keep dreaming
Rempe cut him open bad below his eye and gave him a bloody nose. Oliver was getting pounded and went for the takedown at the end to stop the onslaught, keep coping y’all 😂
Great fight n awesome post game interview by Olivier 💯🙌🏿
One of the most decisive hockey fights I've seen in some time.
Well the legend of Matt Rempe lasted about 24 hours, that was fun while it lasted lmao
When you fight in every game you are bound to lose one eventually. Do you think Enforcers and Goons of the past retired after their first fight loss?. Lol
@@yakivpopavichWhat exactly is he enforcing?
@@nerinamak3298 his lineup spot?
@@nerinamak3298 It's being used in the informal definition: a person who imposes their will by violence and intimidation. & or (in sports) a strong, aggressive, or intimidating player whose role is to protect teammates or dominate an area of the field of play.
he has fought three fights in five games, each of them has been a solid tilt, he has his first goal and first assist in back to back games. bros hating cause he lost one fight
shout out Olivier, solid tilt
respect he has had back to back hard fights. you live by the sword and u die by the sword
Matt Rempe gonna need a couple of days to realize what time zone hes in. Holy Cow!
hehe
this dude is fighting EVERYONE, dont even like the rags, this guy is s just so fun to watch, highlight of the nhl this month
fun to watch him get ko'ed... to fkn cocky
@@SillySongs4Everyone2001 yes ofc, but hes giving the fans something that we havent had in AGES
It's fun to see him lose.
@@stephanea5364don’t care for the guy but he’s rent free in ur head seems like
@@stephanea5364This is the first one he’s lost so enjoy it while it lasts. He’s had 3 fights in a week.
Geezus. 3 fights in 4 games. At this rate, CTE is upcoming.
😢😢
@@doingit66 Yep, I'm the old man on the interwebs. Hate to have seen what happened to a previous generations' enforcers happen to Rempe. Rempe has way more to offer than just fighting.
But but but I want to be entertained! 🤔😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵☠
@@Bamboodonutz enforcing is part of the game. It’s a role
@Bamboodonutz horrible argument. They willingly fought each other, and its been a part of the game for hundreds of years. Grow a pair. People like you have been emasculated.
One of the best fights I’ve ever seen
Matt’s insane he’s bringing old time hockey back for sure
Rempe is just big and at this stage fearless rookie. Doesn't use his reach well, doesn't throw fast enough and doesn't move enough thus making him big target to hit.
let him put on 25lbs and train with some good goons and he'll be even better
Good points, CH; especially on the lack of speed - which is key as Olivier demonstrated so well here.
well i mean.. you said it yourself, he is a rookie. whose the last rookie you've seen that was just phenomenal in nearly every aspect of the sport? Sidney Crosby? newsflash, guys like Crosby are incredibly rare. 99.9% of rookies are going to play like rookies and need a few seasons to find their strengths and strengthen their weaknesses. kid is making $995k a year, only 20 games left in the season right now.. would literally take nothing for him to take some boxing lessons at expensive gyms in his off season and come back a much better fighter, at the same time practice up his weak areas on the ice. Rempe's had like 5 games in the NHL so far, he has made 20 hits, 1 goal, has had 4 fights and 20:01 of ice time in his last 5 games. id say that's pretty damn good for a rookie enforcer. kid has tons of potential, ive also seen him doing his part for his team quite well. he gets across the ice fast when his team has the puck, he parks himself right in front of the goalie and makes himself big, providing perfect goalie screens which allows for much easier goals for the rangers. it's how he got his first goal of the season with a deflection off his skate, straight through the goalies legs and scoring. if you ask me, i think the kids going to be a star which is rare for an enforcer but in todays league where that's more of a thing of the past, it's a breath of fresh air and the fans around the NHL are going crazy for guys like him right now. shows what a difference physicality can make when theyve won the previous 10 games before facing the blue jackets. low and behold the blues come out with top notch physicality of their own and beat out the rangers both in physicality and scoring. coincidence? definitely not. blues said they were doing their homework on the rangers, they definitely did. they picked up on how physical they've been playing and have decided to match that pace and look at that... they came away with the win. it's almost like skating fast and good puck skills arent the only important things in hockey anymore 😮😮😮😮😮
...don't think Rempe packs a 'heavyweight-punch', either,....
Okay experts, if you know so much you should have seen the difference in the fight is Remke did not have his helmet and face shield on and Oliver did. The punches are a lot different when they are landing on your face compared to hitting your helmet and shield.
Man, that was tough to watch. Olivier landed some devastating bombs. Rempe all but quit on the fight, and I don't blame him. He's a young guy with a long life ahead. Don't let your ego be the enemy of your health.
He looked wobbly there skating to the box. Don't think it was a stick on the ice either.
He seem to go the boogaard way
It wasn't tough to watch at all. F the Rags.
Hes a jrk... kid has bad rep since junior
@@elitetrader5468 Love them or hate them the Rangers are winning the Stanley cup this year. And Rempe is going to win Stanley Cup Ring
Love it. Fans are so easily impressed. Rempe has reach and some strength. Just bc ur big doesn’t mean u can fight. Olivier smoked him. Deslauroer did well against him. Next up. Reavo and the leafs.
There will always be some one tougher, Matt has helped bring the game to a brawl.
Great fight, what's shocking to me is sportsnet is actually showing it, rather than turning camera's away, and cutting these fights out of highlight reels lke they usually do. I hope they do this more often, showing us what actually happens in a game. kudos to Olivier.
Rempe was feeling good about himself until that fight. Wow! Ouch!
23 y/o kid putting fear in these vets that they’d rather pull his card off the jump just to face they’re fears says a lot about tht kid regardless if he gets knocked up, at the end of the day the kid got heart to not back down all that’s doing is making him more of a monsta, I’d like to see Olivier call him out a year from now when the kid gets his weight up a little more…..
@@daveydmx9630 he is out with cte after a few seasons
@@daveydmx9630😂😂 Putting fear in nobody. He’s just a tall kid who’s relying on his reach like Chara.
@@btgkg9639 so then why is it for 2 days in a row with 2 different teams wld these guys just want to instigate a fight with him when they nvr even faced this kid b4? They talk to him for the first time n the only thing they say to him is to call him out, obviously the kid is living in their heads….. otherwise you play your game.
@@btgkg9639so you’re saying no one feared chara? What a dumbass take
Olivier landed some solid punches, sweet lord above. Over the top then under, over, under. The big man goes down.
I'm just happy to see good fights are back in the NHL
And just like that... He's humbled 😅
I just got a concussion watching that.
i dont think you know what a concussion is 🤣
0:14 Damn he got rocked here
What a fight. Olivier dominated Rempe with his strength and technique. I gotta admit it, Rempe is a bona-fide tough guy. What is that, three fights in 5 or 6 games. Hahaha, he's definitely a throwback to the old days.
Ranger fan here….gotta give huge props to Olivier. Absolutely got the better of the kid despite being severely outsized. Love seeing Rempe have the guts to fight anyone but agree this isn’t sustainable. He needs to take a breather.
Who the hell is this guy? He just shows up and fights everybody, and each scrap has been a damn good one. He sure knows how to utilize his skills. I've found myself tuning into Rangers games just to see this guy.
His skills? He's 6 foot 7 that's the only skills he has, got manhandled by a guy six inches shorter LOL
u could just follow hockey fights lol
@@stephanea5364He’s a rookie and goes fighting with guys years older than him height doesn’t matter in fights
@@Crimsonooo”height doesn’t matter in fights” right because reach isn’t a factor at all. LMAO stick to soccer or maybe bowling😂
@@stephanea5364 I've seen him fight 3 times now, in 3 or 4 games. He knows his role, and he does it well. My point was he came out of nowhere, and I keep seeing him involved in sick fights, regardless of who wins or loses. He's super entertaining to watch.
Olivier game some smooth ones
Watched the game feed live with my wife. Even she gave Olivier props for how he dismantled Rempe. She was still talking about it days later.
🤣😂👍
the size of rempe is his biggest advantage but also his greatest threat, because his opponents can‘t try to play a tactical game hiding their heads and turning. they have to dish out old school to survive.
It’s his biggest vulnerability, too, as Olivier showed last night. If you have a big reach advantage, you can’t let your opponent get inside, because you don’t have the leverage to throw your best haymaker. Your punches will hit behind the ears, and the curve of the head (or helmet, if it says on) will deflect the blow away. The kid’s a good fighter and he’s making a name for himself. He needs to learn a few lessons like this one. If he watches the game footage and pays attention to what Olivier is doing, then he might be able to be here for a while.
Olivier reading Rempe a night time story after popping his balloon 🎈. "In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon." 🤣
it's like a Stan Jonathan! damn! props my man!
Damn Olivier is a beast!!💪👹
Man I just saw the fight yesterday and damn that didn't disappoint and then this one. DAMN!!! Bring back old school hockey!!!
New school hockey is doing just fine....tells old school hockey to hold their beer.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how tough this sport is in reality if you compare it to other disciplines. You have soccer where players dive as if they got shot by a sniper, meanwhile you have hockey players casually taking out broken tooth, walking on broke bones, getting back after cusonssion... Incredible stuff.
might as well get into MMA if you want to do that! LOL
@ora7872 Actually MMA is safer ...They only fight every 3-6 months with gloves . Not night after night .I love hockey .. but let's face it ... It is not a safe sport long term for the athletes that fight ...
Based on your comment and spelling, I’m guessing you’re an ex player with major cte
@@alexdwyer8591😂👏🏼
@@alexdwyer8591 yes. how did you know ?
Rempe is no Olivier at least he knows the code and fought MacDermid I love this guy Olivier. He’s a beast.
Ice Hockey featuring some Boxing with an Excellent Referee! Bravo!
Rempe thought he was the new Probert. Life has funny ways of humbling you.
Knowing how it unfolded for Bob Probert, Rempe needs to wise up
Probert didn't win every fight. You get those nights.
ah yes because the kid whos been absolutely on fire with his first goal and first assist in back to back games dropping pretty much anyone who tries him means he thinks hes someone else. you got a hate boner for the kid lmao
@@brianforgie7724Never saw Probert take a beating like that, during his Wings years.
@@brianforgie7724 of course. But it all happened very fast for this kid. Maybe too fast.
This kid needs to start playing hockey sometime
He's got 3 points in 5 games...on top of 4 fights lol what more do you need
Game winning goal the other night, then he fought the PA announcer
@@johnnynyr1981 fr this guys just hating
Rempe is fun to watch win or lose
Wow one of the best fights all season
Thank you, Olivier.
Wow, Olivier has quick hands
I’ve never watched hockey but I might start with this guy bringing the heat
Whelp, as my Dad always said-“There’s always someone out there that’s bigger, stronger and tougher than you!” Shoosh that kid took an ass whippin’. God I love hockey
Matt Rempe: I'm gonna fight all the tough guys. Mathieu Olivier: Allow me to introduce myself 😂
Wooow nice work olivier ❤
Very good job Olivier.👍
The next NHL enforcer
He will be the only one in 5 years lol
@hypn0298 how do you know that? Watch chl games they still fight if you cared enough to see.
There are no more enforcers in the NHL. He may be able to fight, but that won't keep him in the NHL. His skill set will dictate if he sticks around. At 1-1-1, the jury is still out on this guy anyway. If he keeps taking punches to the head the way he has in his first 4 games, he'll retire early due to too many concussions.
@@hypn0298are you guys talking about Olivier as the next enforcer?
Lol, this Rempe loser won't be playing in 5 years. He will be getting fed rice pudding drooling all over a nursing facility from critical brain damage or he will be beat enough that people will see he is a one trick pony that's trick isn't worth the price of owning a pony that can't do anything else
Respect to both.
Damnnn what a great fight
Man those Jacket 3rds are clean!
The look on Marchenko’s face is too priceless lol 😂
Just became Olivier’s biggest fan❤
Bro took those to the face like a champ mad respect😂
Man , very impressive performance by Olivier ...
The hype around Rempe is what is making every game a test for him. The kid is probably a willing participant as has been shown but, he's got more skill than just being the Rangers heavyweight. He's shown he can handle himself pretty well, all tough guys get their fair share of losses and this was Rempe's, maybe now he can get down to playing the game and a good scrap will be secondary going forward.
As a casual Aussie hockey fan, I'm glad there's still some of this left in the NHL.
Looks like old-time hockey is slowly coming back!!! 😊
Love this sport dude damn.
So much respect to both of them
They better get rempe now because a few years he will be a monster
The NHL needs MORE of this!!
Not if they want the sport to grow. This fight isn't justifiably necessary. Most people would rather watch actual fighters. Not a side show in the middle of a great sport.
@@shady610Yeah the NHL is over 100 years old, it not getting much more popular than it is now. Lets face it, if a team in the U.S has a losing season no one shows up. Plus ticket prices for most U.S game are basically given away.
This makes me want to start a fight on the ice at the public skate rink
Yup all you got to do is spot the 6'8" Neanderthal kid and say the words
🤣😂👍
Good old Hockey fights miss those days. 👍 👍
Rempe ate some uppercuts tough guys
The brain damage this kid has suffered the last couple days is not something to take lightly. Cringeworthy
He’s entertaining asf and his fights are just like the old times which is great, but I agree he should only fight every few games or maybe even longer. 4 fights in 4 games is crazy and he’s taken some big shots in his last two.
Is it bad if I had fun watching it? This is a legit question.
Right crosses and uppercuts, best hockey moves this season.
Wow. Really impressive.
Wow! Olivier's a beast!!
Gotta love hockey, would live to watch a match live, one day 🙏
I think that’s Jared boll on the bench rightfully fired up!
Love that old time hockey!
You can see the look of regret after that first clean shot to the nose.
An ACTUAL fight in today's game??? Olivier ROCKED HIM, good old school tilt!!
Hockey fights are a thing if beauty!
This was as dominant a fight as I’ve seen in a while. Welcome to the league, kid.
Wow the best fight this season!
Oliver was simply giving back for the rest of The Hockey community.
Best fight in years❤
I can watch this a million times… love how Olivier crushes Rempe
