  1. And why would he? His team is up one with momentum. Stupid time to fight

  2. i don’t blame the guy. give him time when his face isn’t blown up like a balloon

    Obviously would’ve been fun to see that scrap but as a rangers fan we are up 1-0 with momentum it just makes 0 sense to fight and hey we got a lot of game left

  4. itsyaboooooiiiii

    That’d be a hell of a scrap but Rempe definitely needs to slow down a lil bit

  5. Hungry-Mammoth6036

    He needs to learn this more. No reason to fight and give Toronto momentum. He has proven he isn’t scared. I am a rangers fan.. but I like Reaves too. So I’m not going to lie. I’m okay if they don’t go.

  6. I think Olivier beat a sense of self-preservation into Rempe.

    Pretty smart move, though. Leafs will keep playing Reaves, expecting Rempe to fight. The more ice time Reaves gets is more ice time that the leafs aren’t scoring.

    If he was healthy, I’d love to see that fight, but give the kids face some time to heal.

    “Hey kid we should go now because I’m only going to get like 2 more shifts this game……..please”

    Reaves honestly looks saddened by that. I don’t blame Rempe though, he’s been through a meat grinder in the past week and has earned a night off.

    Reaves needs this fight more. Rempe can play and slot in the 4th line even just as a player where at this point in his career, Reaves is strictly an enforcer.

    Respect to Reaves for not trying to force it too hard

  11. Strypes4686

    Good…Rempe has been in fights frequently and is walking around with a shiner. He needs to pick his battles or he’s gonna get brain damage.

  12. Honest-Respect-1635

    He’s out of eyes to blacken, dude has a no vacancy sign tonight.

  13. I’m not really sure why everyone is jumping on Reaves here. In my eyes he’s giving the kid a chance to do what got him here, and it’s not like he chased him around the ice and forced him into something he didn’t want. Kid said no, Reaves backed off. Fair play to all.

    I don’t even like fighting in the league, I think the time has passed for it, but this just seems like a conversation between two guys who know what they’re here for. Might not happen tonight, but if Rempe can stick around I’m sure Reaves will give him another shot.

    Knew they wouldn’t drop them. Honestly good on Rempe, let that face heal

    That eye is one haymaker away from becoming a broken orbital, I’d stay away from the scraps for a couple weeks.

  16. Falconflyer75

    Much as I would have liked to see them fight I agree that the number of hits to the head in the last week need to be taken into account

  17. Full-Studio-9775

    He said hit me up when both my eyes aren’t Fuckin black lol

  18. GrumpeeFatKat

    I wouldn’t fight that plug either. Kid doesn’t have to prove himself every fuckin game

  19. Baron_VonDoom

    Smart kid. Reaves is a beast and throws them like he wants to kill you. Rempe is still a young kid without the strength or fire of a grown man yet. And NYR has the momentum, no need to fight.

  20. He’s like “nah I don’t want another black eye thanks. Had my fill already. I’m good.”

  21. jrgardenlover

    I don’t blame him. He’s learning to pick his battles and to improve his all-around game. Reaves is a goon. There’s a reason he’s a journeyman in the league: just enough all around talent to stick around and elite with the hands.

  22. Haunting-Trainer-287

    Read his lips “your eye”… not gonna beat the kid when he’s already beaten

  23. dulcineal

    Guy already has a pretty good shiner, he doesn’t need another.

  24. Neat_Force9696

    Reaves trying to fight a guy with a black eye who just had a big fight. Duh reaves knew he would probably win🤣💀

  25. Far-Firefighter2828

    Guess Bettman had to put the squash on the heavyweight belt.

  26. AggressiveFeckless

    Rempe absolute charged Lyubushkin. Both skates clean off the ice and Lyubushkin left the game. Dirty hit – is he that kind of player or was it just a young Frankenstein kid getting over zealous? Either way that should have been reviewed.

  27. Imaginary_Support500

    Whelp, looks like we all got the fight we wanted.

  28. Comprehensive-Pay925

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I mean I would too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  29. BlottoDelgado

    Oh my god. Dude honestly he probably shouldn’t be fighting again anytime soon. His brain is going to be freaking paste. Olivier slaughtered him. “And praised him”
