Post-Game Talk: Cowabunga! 10 game winning Streak!

[WhereO Is Kakko]

I’m way late to this party, but just rewatched the game on the Flyers version of the replay - wow; did Trouba and ZibHair play shitastically. Fk awful.

Only Vesey had worse possession stats than those two overpaid bumblef***s.

(Zib must still be reeling from that Athletic article takedown.)

True. Thankfully most do not, because they give hefty bonuses for finishing a fight, knockout of the night and submission of the night, on top of the show/win pay. And if you fight boring point style you end up not getting a second contract with an org.
The PFL even has a weighted system. A decision win gets you 2 points in the standings. A 1st round finish gets you 6 points in the standings.
MMA does everything it can to encourage a real fight.

I'm 99.9% sure that the most common outcome for a MMA fight (at the pro level, not underground smokers) is a decision. Even if the incentive is there, when people are pretty evenly matched, the fights tend to go that way as well. Makes for boring viewing more often than people would like (and honestly, its probably going to get worse.) That rings true for fights in the NHL as well unless 2 people just say "f*** it" and want to stand and trade. That happened today.

Rempe took on a top 5 (top 3?) fighter in the game. Not every fight that he has is going to look like this. Most of them will look like what happened with Sigenthaler. Anyone worried about him holding up long term because of this fight need to take that into consideration as well (and I don't even think he got hit hard at all in this fight.)

Eventually people are going to take notice and most players aren't even going to bother. Thats totally fine though as I'd rather see what he can do on the ice at this level outside of punching people in the face, we all know he can do that.

You can break your nose and be a gushing mess on one shot and then dominate a fight. You don't go based on visible damage.

You even prefer style points in the fights. Take the wins

Rempe and Schneider look a like

Western Canadian kids.
All descendants of Paul Bunyan.

It’s different than MMA though. He fights differently than most today. He’ll eat some shots to unload his own. He doesn’t lock out and turn his head like almost everyone else.

Chara with the similar huge reach didn’t like getting hit, as soon as he ever did, he’d throw out his legs and drop. Rempe stands in and trades. The result is Deslauriers face.

Delauriers got him with a straight right early on and it didn't really faze him.

If he gave Deslauriers all he could handle in his 4th major league game, wait until he learns.

Where did Emily go?

Rempe threw 27 punches vs. 19 for DesLauriers and got several clean shots in. When he got tangled up in his jersey, he lost his focus.

Yep. He can take shots and fire back harder. The scary thing for the league is he’ll get stronger in the next few years

He kept going even when his jersey was over him haha and he could have for another good 20 seconds but Delauriers wanted out at that point and pulled him down

Legend says: On Rempes goal the shot was going above the net but then it hit his knees.

If you “dominate” you damage your opponent. We aren’t talking about Taekwondo point fighting here, or even boxing which often is the same. This is a fight. You f*** up the other guy, you win. Again, MMA judging, REAL fight judging, goes Damage first, Effective striking and grappling, Positional control/dictating the pace of the fight last.

Anybody who goes damage first shouldn't be judging MMA or boxing.

 

[Machinehead]

You need to brush up on your unified rules of MMA.

View attachment 824973But yes his technique (particularly his defense) needs work.

This literally doesn't contradict what I'm saying at all.

Maybe we're misunderstanding what mean by "damage."

I don't mean effective striking, I mean your face being purple.

It's not about style at all. Nobody can read on this f***ing board.

He's taking massive shots to the head and he needs to get better at defense.

Unfortunately Negativity is not against the rules

not that I necessarily disagree tho

Evidently 10 straight wins force some serious reflection and soul-searching

Fun wind-up. Wonder who on these boards could come up with it. Some bum like AhosDatsyukian or someone you know closer

Well, it's not.

Rangers hit 2 bars behind the Flyers goalie too.

It works both ways.

Yeah. The flyers made it a slog. The Rangers won anyhow. Impressive.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Lafreniere has been sublime.

In the past I wanted him on the ice in big situations and when we’re trailing and need a goal because I wanted him to get a taste and learn and prove himself whether or not it gave us the best chance to score and/or win and now I want him on the ice when we need a goal and it’s a big situation because he’s one of the best players on the team that gives us the best chance to score and/or win. There’s an important distinction there.

 

[Machinehead]

Savage at even strength

 

[egelband]

Some people think it doesnt exist, but everybody plays with a little more swagger and fearlessness knowing a guy like Rempe is around

100%. Said the same about Reavo.

 

[egelband]

Is anyone still complaining?

Yep. The ones who don’t get how sports works.

 

[Lion Hound]

Gotta give this Philthy Flyers team some credit. Give Torts some credit. Looking at the roster, i feel like they have no business being ahead of Pens, Caps, or Devs in ther standings but they are sitting in a playoff spot as of now. Torts has them buying in.

Too much hate for Mika and Kreider. Guess you are only as good as your last game.

Deadline is close. Wonder if teams will be calling on Rempe? Old hat GM's love these guys. So do owners. They become fan favs. I hope they don't move him, but i would imagine with all the attention hes been getting teams are going to ask.
