wanted to sit down below and just watch the whole vibe of the game but I can't tell you the number of people on my way to the seat through the corridor who are were like it's just are they going to fight ramp they didn't even mention anybody's name are they going tonight are they going to fight that was I hundreds hundreds walking through the corridor and I'm like man is this is this 1980s again but that was we all know politically correct today is like this guy's going to hurt himself he's goin
g to it's not good it's we know the narrative but it's almost as if for that particular night nobody wanted to hear it everybody just not agree everybody just felt like yeah uh this is this is what we're coming to see on top of of the hockey game and there may have been some disappointment if they didn't fight what's interesting is that I don't think rampe in particular went into the game being like we have to fight you know I I Reeves mentioned in his quotes after the game that he had had there
was so much buildup for it that he asked the kid in the first shift if he wanted it and the kid said no because the game didn't warrant it at that point re said that was fine listen he's guy has he turned 22 yet no he's 21 years old he doesn't know what he doesn't have a clue on how at at the NHL level or you know to to carry that type of weight on your shoulders for the New York Rangers how it works he's just trying to figure it out as he goes along everything he's done up until this point has
just been kind of like a raw emotion from him to go out there and do what he yeah did show he's willing this one in particular even when we saw the fight it was almost as if he needed his parents permission oh and he probably did though Kip you know youve I'm sure you played your coach says we don't want you doing that tonight so there there was looked to the bench there was that got the green light yeah for sure yeah it was like stealing a base he just like yes like is that bunt fight really l
ike if I would have had money bet on when the fight would take place yeah and would have said 5 minutes in 10 minutes again uh first period the leaps were up if I'm not mistaken 32 yeah there's about 10 minutes left in no less than that maybe five or six when they yeah it was about six minutes okay six minutes left like even in my day that was one of those where you don't necessarily want to think about possibly changing the momentum taking a penalty whatever the case is you just you just don't
see those those type of fights that late in the period or in the game when especially the home team's up yeah but you know still happened it it gave people in the building something to talk about yeah and it was a a spirited bout and I think there is some measure of the some it's reasonable to say you didn't want to go through that game allowing rampe to take out one of your players with a brutal charging play and say it's okay right there was it became a relevant thing to to have a fight with t
he gentlemen uh speaking of which now if I want to switch it over to Ryan Reeves for me that fight came too late for the Toronto Maple Leafs right and it was upon his job would have been probably to try to get him to think about more about me coming after him throughout the whole game I just thought there was too many lulls I thought Ryan Reeves gave too many lulls into him to think that he could still go out there and take 40 foot runs at my players and to be clear that was the second one at le
ushin he took another big one the first one which I absolutely hated was at the halfway mark of the hockey game Right shurin started a breakout gave it to to uh um gave it to uh Ry at the hash marks that guy skated the length of the ice MH dumped it into lbushkin corner and did the whole thing over again had a had a 100 foot run at him teed off yeah teed off on him now this is where I've got an issue with Ryan reees you were on the ice when that happened you got to skate right over to him okay I
don't know why Ryan just allowed that like that's where you gota the fight's okay it entertained people I stood up I clapped whatever but the fight was it it didn't serve any purpose for the game yeah it just served a purpose for entertainment we did this and yeah and then you flex your muscles you know and you you know you you you're you're in The Penalty Box telling the crowd to get ready but in the meantime leushin is already out of the game because he got run by the human missile which you
were supposed to be out there to deter yeah I remember I remember as it happened I was like I think Reeves was towards the end of a shift the first time and I was like maybe he didn't want to go do it you know with while you're out of gas or something but I to your point you just want him to go over and have a chat I get that but that's where you need a little bit of help of Sheldon like Sheldon Sheldon was think uh matching lines and I don't have I don't have I I don't see rampy on the ice and
not have Ryan Reeves out on the ice I don't know why so so I get it I get it it was the end possibly he was out there for 30 or 40 seconds but I need you out there when he's out there and I need you talking to him saying you're not doing what you did to that uh uh Bastion mhm Nate Bastion of New Jersey you're not doing it tonight so every time he's on the ice you you're you're you're on top of him you're talking to him like I'm not allowing you to skate 200 feet to run leushin so he runs leushin
in the second period and he's thinking he's got a credit card to go get him later on in the game and he did and he did he did he did that hit by the way do you think if he fought him earlyer in the game though he'd doesn't do it probably not probably still does it listen I maybe you're right but I will tell you the percentages go up significantly if he did fight him earlier that he wouldn't yep cuz I've been in fights I listen I was a well- conditioned guy I W Awards I was in shape man there ar
e some fights I was into early in a game when I knew I was done for the rest of the night spent could even my arms up right tweak something just I just don't have it to go run around the rest of the game yeah yeah yeah for sure no I get you that's where Ryan needs to get to him earlier to remind him that you're not having your way with our guys you're not coming in like a this human missile to to run our players I won't have it I just think there was a lull too much in the game that that pushed
it towards the last 5 minutes when luskin's done and you know it sounds like he's back sounds like he's okay which is great but could have separated his shoulder just as easily as yeah and giving him a a head injury as Sheldon described it after the game yeah you said we have a Sheldon on rampe right is he uh well it's on there's two there's uh what do I got here just me pull my lineup up and then we should also get back to the game after after we finish this off yeah so the you could talk about
the the Kei clip three on the fight or the hit you play the first one on the hit it's short there Derek clip two Comes A Long Way leaves his feet hits him in the head injury there there's his breakdown of the head not a fan yeah listen it's a it's an attempt to try to get a guy suspended I get it why not yeah that's what you're supposed to do um and the one if you want to play the three just on the fight to kind of wrap things up there on that uh yeah I thought it was I thought it was good espe
cially considering you know that knock one of our guys out of the game um so we're starting to get up like injuring players are starting to get as up as many as the fights now but but uh um yeah I like like Theo stepped up doesn't doesn't sound like he's a fan of rampe how do you think he did I thought I mean can I tell you something he's a huge fan of rampe who Sheldon he just can't admit it oh yeah okay everybody wants one of those guys right now well the least going to have one Reeves been pl
aying really good for a month good good at least it gives you some sort of shot at uh at uh when you play a team like that then you need a deterrent you need something out there and that's why New Jersey went and got mcdermid yeah what do you think of the actual fight like do you think it a great fight got him for sure for me I thought I thought he took him a while to get the range yeah and then he kind of found his range I thought he's maybe scored the decision at the end but like poor kid got
hit four more times right in the face you know but I mean does it really matter matter like who at the end of the day on points like come on it was a spirited fight both teams loved their player for hanging in there sure your question it does matter yes it does matter fans it matters is there is there an actual belt well to fans there is sure you know that's irrelevant did our guy win or their guy win if it didn't matter I can tell you fighting would be a lot different just as long as somebody d
idn't lose it badly that's and to and to and to uh ke's point about the hit and about the fight it's like everyone's like oh this poor kid you know he's like well you know he's running around nailing people into the boards he's running around it's not like he's you do lose a lot of sympath jump on the being like oh boy I better you know it's like he's running around the entire game the runs at labush can made him fully eligible to once again being six feet up in the stands watching this game you
know my first thought this game's more dangerous than when I played mhm just because of the speed no there's we had holdups we had guys running into each other I never had the chance to start at my own blue line and go into a labush skin hammered them untouched was actually the most frustrating part of foreing is when you would run on a for check and the deed be in front of you just all right so again full interference the the hit that he had on him in the second period Morgan's back there and
Morgan's just like pass I can't do anything just keep going and it was uh cly uh who there was the second coie it was like two it was two of them crushing lbushkin two of them that had free range we never had that free range yeah so like they they got a fix this I think they got to fix this they that guy's GNA that guy's going to hurt somebody really bad rampe oh yeah yeah as long if he gets if he gets a red carpet on every for check he's going to hurt somebody yeah he skates pretty well he's ye
ah it was really nice when uh Willie put him on the ground there with that dangle the the whole crowd was really into that the baby baby deer got one last suggestion okay lbushkin get your stick up and make him eat it yeah okay you see that guy coming it is survival that will be the best two game suspension you'll ever take if you just turn around and this guy needs a coming this is what's going to slow him down eventually is someone's got to sit there and go okay here are my choices death or a
two game suspension you know Kim I had enough coaches tell me the exact thing you're telling him right now to know that in some cases it's not the worst plan you know like not even that you need to do anything aside from just have it out to protect yourself because yeah he's intending to hurt you that's self-defense at that point just last quick thing on ree I was listening to we've said that three times now I was listening to Bill Simmons podcast which is one of the most popular podc outside of
ours of course but it's a massive American podcast and an NBA focus on a Monday does it with this guy named Ryan rilla who's also very popular to my surp a 5 to 10 minute rempe discussion on this podcast when they've never mentioned hockey before yeah and they talked about it for a long time they talked about how just in general having similar conversations to everybody else it's like there's Conor McDavid in the league Connor Bard's in the league they're talking about this six seven gu from Al
ber it passes the mom test which is if you hear about it from your mom it's in the mainstream culture and how about this rampy kid his face is looking like a bag of tomatoes though he's he may need to the down he's he's just a he's a puppy oh yeah he's a puppy child yeah Ryan Reese Ryan Reese said it best I think after the match he's like like wait wait this guy's going to be a force

Reavo asked him to go in the first period and was turned down. Reaves has played over 950 games, he knows his job Nick. The Leafs had their own big guy in Curtis Douglas who can fight better but was sent to the desert instead of developing him.

@eatingsnowman

Thought it was hilarious Rempe asking the bench if he was allowed to answer for the illegal hit. Funny how the 2 games he didn't fight on his first shift he took someone out of the game with an illegal hit.

@markw1123

I was watching UFC the other night and a hockey game broke out.

@sambabisky4742

Right on Kipper. Reaves should have been there, right there. Another thing having a tough guy does D--k when some one is run and the other four guys skate to the bench. One guy who likes to fight doesn't make a team tough. As a matter of fact you know what happens Kipper. If Reaves gets challenged early and maybe twice. Then the other team that might be tougher get in ever bodies face and the guys who don't fight are running away, or getting a licking. If you don't all stand up its not much better with one fighter.

@user-jj3vx6mg6w

Clean hit and W for Rempe

@JYBplays

Fighting has a place in hockey. I’m so sick of seeing these guys cry about cte and how fight doesn’t have a place. They know the risks they accept it. Fight on boys!

@MichaelThomas-ll1hw

I could watch those 2 fight every night and not get sick of it. Potential celebrity boxing match? 🥊

@joanneogley4874

Best advice I ever heard Kipper say, *get your stick up and use it to survive *

@rjj4304

Kyper spot on about reavo and keefe

@kaylporter276

Well put Kipp on the Reaves not dealing with the human missile earlier. .

@FrankDimarco-ok1fz

i thought fighting was part of the game the reason so late was because of a hit and not to mention the leafs were on there heels for the last 9mins and reaves asked him to go 3 times before he went

@dereks1848

Rempe was already banged up enough when Reaves wanted to fight him. Just cause Reaves sits on the bench all the time, don't take advantage of other tough guys constantly getting into fights. But yet again that is all he is good for. Rempe doesn't want to end up like Derek Boogaard one day.

@rickrobitaille8809

Well said 😂🥊🇨🇦

@StoicNature444

Reeves still has the belt.

@ChopStyx-hz1pj

Kyper didn't have a clue either at the end of his career. Just ask Ryan VandenBussche.

@jaapongeveer6203

The problem is the officials have to call penalties for illegal hits so it doesn't have to come to a fight.

@ryangraham557

Kyper, Reaves was in the middle of a line change when the hit took place. Not sure what you expect from him.

@jamesnewman48

what is more impressive is the boosh is good to go.

@JustCallMeKopi

I don't think Reaves likes corner fights as much. He's all about the center ice display fights.

@CupContender

Tsn if ur watching learn from this short direct to point
