Who won the Rempe/Deslaurier fight?

[heretik27]

Rempe did more damage, Deslauriers was the better technical fighter. Pretty even for the most part.

Vs Olivier, yes. I assume that is what you were referencing.

Good old fashioned draw!

Ouch. Players need to start putting on boxing gloves before fighting, need to protect the hands. Boxing gloves kept behind each teams bench and the ref brings them out before the fight.

Boxing gloves actually lead to more concussions because guys can punch harder

This guy follows Rempe around insulting him in every thread, guess Rempe is doing his job and getting under skin

Just stating facts. The league phased out goons. Guys need to be able to actually play useful minutes and not only just be a face puncher. Imo Rempe will be back in the minors in not too long.

He’s been our best offensive player since coming here lol, literally better offensive pressure every time he’s on the ice than when we’re on the PP

Rempe is not the Rangers best offensive player.

 

[Stony Curtis]

He threw so many punches on Saturday that he didn't have any left for Sunday's fight.

You ever been in a fight in your entire life?

I've been in a fight every day since the age of 5 which, according to my calculations, is around 14,600 fights.

So you'd better listen to me, because I know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I'd like to discuss this topic more but someone is waiting outside.

Then put in a rule for no head punches, only body shots.

Rempe is taller, with more reach, and much heavier. Rempe is also closer to his prime than Deslauriers who is a few more years out of it. Half a foot makes a huge difference in fighting. The fact that Deslauriers hung in there the whole time and arguably took it to a draw gives him the edge in my book.

 

[Henry Miller]

Draw. It’s was such a good fight and close enough that firmly declaring a winner doesn’t feel right

How is Deslaurier winning this? Lol. I think it was personally a draw, but Rempe gets the edge if you had to pick.

Rempe has 2 points in 5 games. Deslauriers has 3 in 51, and no goals. In fact Rempe only has about 20 minutes of ice time, so currently he is at 6 pts/60mins at evens.

Since you want to talk facts.

We will see over the next while if Rempe stays up. Imo he will be sent down.

Nic has been in the league for 10 years now (past his prime fighting years), and fought to a draw with a guy in prime who is much bigger...let's see how long Rempe's NHL career is, he already got tuned last night by Olivier and sent to the locker-room.

I bet Nic has a longer career than Rempe at the NHL level.

Outlasted him, came on late and got the takedown.

Rempe gassed, it's never a good look when you get beat up at the end of a fight.

Not really. He did a takedown because he gave up on the fight, and both lasted more or less the same. Rempe held his own more, and Rempe had the slight edge in punches (and harder ones) thrown.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

I will have to watch it again but the first time I watched it, it wasn't even remotely close. Looked like Deslauriers only landed one shot while Rempe landed several.

For those arguing about take downs and shirts, I guarantee you if you asked Deslauriers he wouldn't point to those as him winning anything. That's him trying anything to save himself because he is losing badly at trading fists.

This isn't boxing, taking down your opponent isn't "giving up on the fight" it's part of the fight, if your opponent outmuscles you to the ice, you lose points.

Rempe landed the better shots early, he ate more late and was taken down. It was close, but in my books Rempe took a L.
