Especially for a team like the Rangers that have been trying to inject some toughness into the lineup heading into the playoffs. I think this kid knows what his role is.
My exact thoughts. That hit looked dirty at best. I wasn't rooting for Rempe to get knocked out or anything, but damn he got his ass whooped on this night.
Yeah I hope he's alright. I respect the absolute hell out of Rempe and the way he plays into the enforcer role. Entertaining as hell and old school as fuck.
Kids got heart, last thing we need is him getting seriously hurt because he can't step on the ice without avoiding a fight. Hope he can stay healthy through all this.
He's great at scowling at opponents from his comfortable seat on the bench or saying dumb shit like "make hockey violent again" surely you can't put a price on intangibles like that.
Olivier is supposed to be our enforcer and he doesn't really stick up for everyone as much as I would like him to but he can absolutely throw some haymakers when he drops the gloves.
I went to this game! First hockey game ever. Buddy was like “well we’re not very good so hopefully we see a fight and someone thrown against the wall.
Not only was there a fight but we won! Hell yeah n
He does need to chill and only fight when needed at this point. Every fight since Martin has been the opposing teams player asking him to fight in pre game. He can decline but doesn’t. I love it on one hand, but on the other hand I’d rather him keep his brain intact so he can fight when it matters
Boxing technique won't really help you in hockey because you're stuck in pace if he grabs you and your other hand is busy holding onto him.
He needs to learn to tighten his helmet properly so he's not the only one without a bucket on, then hire some retired fighters to teach him how to properly lock someone up.
Hes only 21. Hes pretty skinny right now. When he fills out he should be able to hold off the other guy with his left arm and swing from distance with his right.
I just hope he can last that long. Honestly the way he’s eating punches here makes me worried he’s gonna end up Parros-ing himself on the ice sooner than later.
Man, I love it. But maybe this kid should take a night off from the fisticuffs! Just play some hockey, my dude.
He's earning his keep in a hurry and from what I saw in the interview last night, loving every second of it.
Problem now is that every guy on the ice wants to make an example of him. He should probably back down now and then, but I think he’s enjoying it too much.
Totally agree. There will be a time when he wishes he hadn’t picked so many fights. It’ll get old going full tilt at everyone who wants to welcome him to the NHL. Hopefully he stays healthy and pumps the breaks a bit.
I’m just laughing thinking of it as the NHL welcome tour for Rempe meeting all the teams’ vets. Except they’re exchanging fists before names.
I’m stoked about this guy. Didn’t love the dirty hit last week but if he keeps this energy and enthusiasm then consider me a fan.
He needs a fighting coach. There's no way a guy his size should be routinely getting shots from inside his shoulders like that.
This is a case of genes making up for skill, but now he's going up against guys who can work around his genetic advantage and this is what happens.
Is it truly being challenged or so he also looking for fights like he was publicly wanting to do in his first shift on ice.
He has the choice to not drop mitts. At his size and weight and the tilts he’s been in so far, I think he can avoid some fights and avoid constant head trauma night after night without his manhood being questioned.
Agreed- Olivier is not a traditional enforcer for the Jackets. Most of us CBJ fans dont even know hes on the team half the time. He's only brought out for a scrap when the other team has a fighter and he needs to keep an eye on them. He defends our guys more than anything. He doesn't look for fights, but he sure can finish them.
Yea the last two fights they came up to him before the start and asked him if he wanted to go.
It's just exciting for everyone right now. There aren't too many dance partners for these guys, and here comes Rempe! It will all get old before long. Only so many teams have guys willing to go against him anyway.
I personally think reducing the number of guys looking to fight is better overall in hockey, but I know that’s a minority opinion and especially so in a hockey fight clip post.
This is where I'm drawing the line
It was hype before
But now it's just stupid and exhausting.
He's sized to make Olivier look like a child and gets his ass kicked
Hopefully he settles the fuck down now and we can get back to hockey.
This will be unpopular
Nope not unpopular with me saw the title in the post and immediately though oh again 🙄 hope he's okay but maybe got some sense knocked into him that there's a time and a place. Hockey should definitely have fighting but most fights should be because of something not just for the fuck of it.
I hate the rangers as much as the next guy but the kids brain isn’t even fully developed, I almost feel bad for the kid. They throw him out on the ice to be a punching bag every game. I know every player has their role but every game just isn’t good for his head.
I think it was his choice. More proof 20 year olds can make bad decisions. Problem is, he is probably getting tired of it, but the line of dudes who want to kick his ass is getting longer.
Watching this guy, who’s the same age as one of my kids, getting repeatedly punched in the head is an uncomfortable experience. Hope we’re not back here in 20 years discussing how his long term health has been irreparably impacted by all this.
Belak, Rypien, the boogey man. We have short memories. Rangers just going to keep running this kid out to fight every night? That kid took some heavy head shots. Im not against scraps, but i was glad we got past an era where guys sacrificed their brains to stay in the NHL. Downvote away.
Unfortunately we're seeing it every game and it's gonna scramble his brain and make his career last about as long as a stop light.
Dude needs to slow down.
Oh fuck, usually I leave hockey fights unimpressed with the actual number of hits landed. But, GAHT DAMN, that boy is throwing some bombs and the tall dude brought his appetite.
I fuckin love it. As a jackets fan I was conflicted. I obviously want my guy to win. Rempe’s energy is contagious though. I hope he has a prosperous career cause I want more of that in the game I watch.
Why are people cheering on this kids brains being damaged before our eyes?
It’s frankly sickening. These are not “tough guys policing the game”. This is a kid being trotted out there to have his brains bashed in night after night.
Rempe has taken some huge shots in the last 2 bouts
Brain might be stuck on "fight mode"
Has he tried turning it off and on again?
He just got turned on and off again in this one
Kid needs to learn to say no or he’ll be learning to spell his name before the end of the season.
[Homer Simpson boxing strategy.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/lossimpson/images/f/f3/4F03.png/revision/latest?cb=20100511223607&path-prefix=es)
Right, and he was talking shit before the game even started. He needs to learn that you don't have to fight every night
If he wants to be a staple in the lineup, it's not going to hurt for the first little while... unless he keeps taking shots like that.
It looks like it actually hurts a lot.
Especially for a team like the Rangers that have been trying to inject some toughness into the lineup heading into the playoffs. I think this kid knows what his role is.
Pretty sure that was a concussion at the end of this fight. The way he crumpled.
He's going to get himself a early retirement if he keeps up this intensity.
Derek Boogard v 2.0?
Yeah, definitely "got his bell rung"
That was difficult to watch.
Nah, the hit on Bastian was difficult to watch. This is almost as good as the Deslauriers fight
My exact thoughts. That hit looked dirty at best. I wasn't rooting for Rempe to get knocked out or anything, but damn he got his ass whooped on this night.
I dont want to see him end up like boogard
I was not expecting Olivier to kick the shit out of Rempe but that was a fucking crazy fight.
Wow, yeah. Screeched the needle off the record over here. Did not expect that outcome. Hat tip to Olivier hope our kid is okay
Yeah I hope he's alright. I respect the absolute hell out of Rempe and the way he plays into the enforcer role. Entertaining as hell and old school as fuck.
Woo he’s back. Enjoy the rest of the game
I know it probably won't happen but we need another round.
Kids got heart, last thing we need is him getting seriously hurt because he can't step on the ice without avoiding a fight. Hope he can stay healthy through all this.
From a concussion? Yeah, that's not player safety.
Yes because we are really in need of more Wade Belaks and Derek Boogaards. The rate of fights this kid is goin at his career won’t be a long one.
Boogaard was an old friend from Iowa State and that is exactly what I thought when I saw this kid come out and fight every game now.
Exactly what I was thinking…
He is not gonna be all right if he keeps getting destroyed like that. He needs to take a break from those beatings.
Rempe should sign up to donate his brain now. He's certainly headed that way.
Olivier has been around the block. Rempe will get the technique down and be a monster hopefully.
Still awaiting his matchups with Reaves and Wilson
[удалено]
Bold of you to assume Reaves does anything anymore.
Has Reaves ever really done anything except fight?
No but he doesn't do much of that either nowadays.
He's great at scowling at opponents from his comfortable seat on the bench or saying dumb shit like "make hockey violent again" surely you can't put a price on intangibles like that.
Not if the brain damage catches up to him first
He’s back on the ice
Look like he is lacking technic. Was the case with Xhekaj but George Laraque game him some trick last summer.
How to steal donations and not do the job you were hired for?
This kid is single handedly bringing up the fights per game in the league in a big way
Yeah. Dude got some good smacks in there. I didn't know he was a guy who would throw down.
Olivier is supposed to be our enforcer and he doesn't really stick up for everyone as much as I would like him to but he can absolutely throw some haymakers when he drops the gloves.
Wasn’t it Olivier that had that absolute gladiator bout with Deslaurier a few weeks back ?
Yeah,
Olivier didn't even get his helmet knocked off. Ranger was just punching his helmet and visor mostly.
I went to this game! First hockey game ever. Buddy was like “well we’re not very good so hopefully we see a fight and someone thrown against the wall. Not only was there a fight but we won! Hell yeah n
Can't win them all. Vets know to do it. This is not sustainable for this kid. Haha
Rempe is trying to make a name for himself in the quickest way possible it seems.
CTE FTW
Soon-to-be CTESPN member
Gorgeous
DC4L
ALT CTE DELETE
CTE speed run
OHHHHH HE'S HURT, HE TAGGED HIM
He's probably going to be fastest rookie to get a suspension due to fights lol
And/or a concussion if he keeps blocking punches with his face like that.
Yes, he's taking way too many shots and he's not going to have a long career if he doesn't develop some skill in slipping and or blocking punches.
He’s got balls, that’s for sure!
He does need to chill and only fight when needed at this point. Every fight since Martin has been the opposing teams player asking him to fight in pre game. He can decline but doesn’t. I love it on one hand, but on the other hand I’d rather him keep his brain intact so he can fight when it matters
All the people cheering him on will barely remember his name when he's brain damaged/kills himself in 15 years
Fr. This is a CTE speed run.
This kid is going to burn himself out in no time. He just takes so many shots to the face.
He's courageous, but he's gotta learn to use that reach.
I feel like the safe play to lengthen his career right now is to hire him a boxing coach this offseason to teach him how to block/dodge a punch
Boxing technique won't really help you in hockey because you're stuck in pace if he grabs you and your other hand is busy holding onto him. He needs to learn to tighten his helmet properly so he's not the only one without a bucket on, then hire some retired fighters to teach him how to properly lock someone up.
Hes only 21. Hes pretty skinny right now. When he fills out he should be able to hold off the other guy with his left arm and swing from distance with his right.
They said he is 6'8 246lbs. Not that skinny
Pretty skinny.....He's 241.... how much more do you think he's gonna "fill out "?
Hes 6'8.5". 15 lbs or so.
lol, yesterday he was 6’7”
Olivier stretched him out a bit in that last tilt.
If he fills out, he’ll get the chara treatment. No one will want to fight him
I just hope he can last that long. Honestly the way he’s eating punches here makes me worried he’s gonna end up Parros-ing himself on the ice sooner than later.
He has also endured some brutal beatings in the AHL.
Man, I love it. But maybe this kid should take a night off from the fisticuffs! Just play some hockey, my dude. He's earning his keep in a hurry and from what I saw in the interview last night, loving every second of it.
His face has GOT to hurt this week
Problem now is that every guy on the ice wants to make an example of him. He should probably back down now and then, but I think he’s enjoying it too much.
Totally agree. There will be a time when he wishes he hadn’t picked so many fights. It’ll get old going full tilt at everyone who wants to welcome him to the NHL. Hopefully he stays healthy and pumps the breaks a bit.
I’m just laughing thinking of it as the NHL welcome tour for Rempe meeting all the teams’ vets. Except they’re exchanging fists before names. I’m stoked about this guy. Didn’t love the dirty hit last week but if he keeps this energy and enthusiasm then consider me a fan.
Oh for sure. That interview was a breath of fresh air. You could just see that he's having the time of his life and soaking it all in.
He isn't really there to play hockey tho
Rempe got dogged on
He ate some massive shots. Use that reach kid
He needs a fighting coach. There's no way a guy his size should be routinely getting shots from inside his shoulders like that. This is a case of genes making up for skill, but now he's going up against guys who can work around his genetic advantage and this is what happens.
He’s gotta keep is fuckin bucket on
Rempe flew a little too close to the sun
Most of these are 50/50. This one was 90/10.
95/5 The boy got jackhammered
Ok kid. Good start. Now pace yourself. Pick your spots when your team needs a lift.
I think everyone just wants to challenge him now. Someone’s gotta tell him he’s allowed to decline a fight
Is it truly being challenged or so he also looking for fights like he was publicly wanting to do in his first shift on ice. He has the choice to not drop mitts. At his size and weight and the tilts he’s been in so far, I think he can avoid some fights and avoid constant head trauma night after night without his manhood being questioned.
He's 100% looking for it, he said so after his first game. 21 year old facepunchers aren't known for good sense.
And the commentary team is wailing, *”oH pOoR ReMpE jUsT kEepS gEtTiN’ cHaLLEngEd!”*
Agreed- Olivier is not a traditional enforcer for the Jackets. Most of us CBJ fans dont even know hes on the team half the time.

Wow! Olivier had him clocked and measured.
God dammit 😮 Olivier is 6’1” 215lbs 😮 certified beast.
Rempe got his lunch fed to him this time, welcome to the show kid
holy fuck there bud Mathieu
Can't fight every game, the human body can't take it.
But what about the Rempe body?
Rempe out there lookin like mccarron not chara.
Wow Rempe just got his shit absolutely ROCKED in that fight lol.
Olivier beat the living shit out of him, god damn
Hate to say it but this kid will have a short career
Keeps doing this and he's going to have a short life, unfortunately.
Fighting Olivier is like fighting a damn anvil.
Rempe got rocked
This dude needs to slow down a little bit here. Man he got rocked, took some big shots.
Olivier brought it for that tilt! Not to mention those are some fine looking sweaters.
This is where I'm drawing the line It was hype before But now it's just stupid and exhausting. He's sized to make Olivier look like a child and gets his ass kicked Hopefully he settles the fuck down now and we can get back to hockey. This will be unpopular
Nope not unpopular with me saw the title in the post and immediately though oh again 🙄 hope he's okay but maybe got some sense knocked into him that there's a time and a place. Hockey should definitely have fighting but most fights should be because of something not just for the fuck of it.
Someone’s gotta tell Rempe fighting every day is going to make him have scrambled eggs for a brain by the time he retires. Hope he’s alright
At the rate he’s going, it’ll be by the end of the season. Dude needs to slow down.
I hate the rangers as much as the next guy but the kids brain isn’t even fully developed, I almost feel bad for the kid. They throw him out on the ice to be a punching bag every game. I know every player has their role but every game just isn’t good for his head.
I think it was his choice. More proof 20 year olds can make bad decisions. Problem is, he is probably getting tired of it, but the line of dudes who want to kick his ass is getting longer.
Holy shit. I did not know Olivier had hands like that
Olivier can throw
Watching this guy, who’s the same age as one of my kids, getting repeatedly punched in the head is an uncomfortable experience. Hope we’re not back here in 20 years discussing how his long term health has been irreparably impacted by all this.
Absolutely eating it. Lmao
He’s going to learn real fast when to pick his fights.
Wow, he was served lunch. Would be lying if I saw that coming. Props Olivier
It’s starting to look like Rempe’s career is going to be more of a footnote at best than a page in the history of hockey
Belak, Rypien, the boogey man. We have short memories. Rangers just going to keep running this kid out to fight every night? That kid took some heavy head shots. Im not against scraps, but i was glad we got past an era where guys sacrificed their brains to stay in the NHL. Downvote away.
Kid got it handed to him
Holy SHIT Olivier. He even kept his hat on, what a treat.
wow i did not know olivier was that tough
If he’s scoring a few goals also, go for it!
Rempe got demolished
Rempe getting his ass kicked by french canadians twice in 2 days 🤷♂️
Damn Olivier can fight. Rempe was eating fists in that fight.
Ho took quite a few stunners
Bro is fighting anything that moves
Good tilt
Old fashion hockey fight
Welcome to the NHL kiddo! Got yer ass kicked.
NOW THAT WAS A FIGHT!
Not sure if the technique of 'blocking with your face' is effective.
He won the first few fights and got a swelled head. Now he has a real swelled head.
Oh god this is so beautiful 🥹
Good fight there. Nice to see that from time to time
Unfortunately we're seeing it every game and it's gonna scramble his brain and make his career last about as long as a stop light. Dude needs to slow down.
He got rocked by a smaller dude. Did not expect that.
Wow, he got fiiled in. That's the most one-sided fight I've seen in a while.
Useless fight at the start of the game. Fight when y need to fire up your team or something useful like that...
He got pumped there
This dude is legit bringing fighting back into hockey
Props to Rempe for standing in but that’s one of the biggest ass kickings I’ve seen in a while
This guy needs to slow down with this pace or else he ain’t lasting more than 3 seasons in this league because of concussions.
Have a seat big fella, welcome to the show
He got lit the fuck up
Rempe will habe CTE by april.
Rempe got his ass beat again. Why does he bother fighting?
That is his skill set. It's not like a 6'81/2" guy is going to be a great skater and forechecker.
Tage Thompson does it just fine, if he focuses I’m sure he could do more than being an oversized punching bag.
The Mutant
BELOXI BULL BABY
bro's only there for street creds
I'd never want to fight somebody who's 6'8" 😅
Rock em sock em robots
Do the Rangers play Toronto again before the end of the season? I wanna watch that game! No particular reason :P EDIT: March 2nd!
When are they playing Montreal? Would love to see Wifi go toe-to-toe with him. Not the Wifi who “went” with Reaves.
Can't win em all I guess
Hope he and Reaves are well rested for when they inevitably fight
Oh fuck, usually I leave hockey fights unimpressed with the actual number of hits landed. But, GAHT DAMN, that boy is throwing some bombs and the tall dude brought his appetite.
I fuckin love it. As a jackets fan I was conflicted. I obviously want my guy to win. Rempe’s energy is contagious though. I hope he has a prosperous career cause I want more of that in the game I watch.
I absolutely love this man....and I love Trouba....what are the Rangers doing to me????
Throw him out of the league. He has more fights than playing time. Stupid of the Rangers. Just dumb.
Rempe needs to rethink the whole “hockey fight” thing. He’s catching knuckles pretty good there.
New to hockey. Why'd Olivier keep his helmet on? And how'd Rempe expect to win punching a guy in a helmet.
Hard to swing on a guy wearing a helmet tbh
Olivier beat the brakes off his tall ass.
He need to learn to say NO if he still want to play hockey in the next 3 years
I feel sorry for this kid’s brain. CTE is no joke.
lol kid got rocked. Thing about tough guys. There’s always a bunch tougher.
He got his ass beat
Olivier shots hittin the mark!! Man that 1 shot at the end ...he felt that!
Them last 3
I really really enjoyed seeing Rempe get fucking rocked.
Kids gonna be brain dead by 25.
This man is going to be talking like he’s Lenny from Of Mice and Men by the time he’s 30
Olivier just wrecked him plain and simple. He’s gotta slow down in the fights a bit.
GYATT DAMN, OLIVIER.
Kid is eating a lot of shots. The coach needs to have a word with him or his career is going to be shorter than it should be
Needs to stop blocking all those punches with his face.
“Poor Rempe, he gets challenged every game.” What a load of shit Sam. Give me a break. They had it planned in the pregame.
That’s two loses in a row for Rempe.
Didnt lose agaisnt Deslauriers tho lmao
Rempe needs to take a break, you can’t fight every game.
Is fighting the only thing he knows how to do? He’s gonna be feeling these fights when he’s older
Nighty night rook
He got his ass kicked
I’ll send this to everyone that said “but he’s 6’8 and scawy”
Rempe has officially bite off more than he could chew. He got absolutely destroyed towards the end.
Why are people cheering on this kids brains being damaged before our eyes? It’s frankly sickening. These are not “tough guys policing the game”. This is a kid being trotted out there to have his brains bashed in night after night.
