kaaappoo's... Are you sure, you ain't missing an "a".... or an "o"?! Lmao-oo... Seems like it NEVER stops snowing in sunny finland... Get lost, NOBODY cares about these two punks.. theM ARE losers... BOTH
I bought tickets for this game months ago to check off Madison Square Garden in my efforts to go to all the active NHL arenas. Never thought I'd see such a barn-burner.
I believe that's a linesmen his job isn't to break the fights up it's to jot down all the rough still he catches to give the final tally when it's time to give out penalties
I am SO glad that u mentioned the camera angles.....the nhl broadcasts have had this problem, not showing what is happening else where when its important. I had to rewind it to see the other fights start....i wasnt able to, because they only kept it on the one fight.
Im from the UK and never watched hockey, this just came up randomly in my recommended so i randomly clicked it. WTF have i just watched? A sport where before they even start, they have a legal fight? lmao wtf
He literally explains why in the video. The players had major beef and so ofc they are itching to fight. Yes it's absurd it can happen but that's hockey for you. Great sport imo
Or... you can go to the opposite extreme and watch FIFA football where players throw themselves on the ground and flail like a beached salmon at the mere hint of physical contact.
Old school game for sure. New York and NJ were both on fire about NHL hockey after this one. You don't hear much about the NHL before the playoffs on NY talk radio these days, but this game was at the top of every broadcast. Rangers and Devils don't like each other and that stretches back to the 1994 ECF coming down to Game 7, a game that if the Devils had won, they would probably have 4 cups. The bad blood is now generational.
It was even mentioned on Hannity… He showed the replay.. he had a better angle than TNT did. lol.. He went on to mention this was old school hockey and it reminded him when he played street hockey and fighting and competing like that just made u stronger and tougher in life. He said if anyone thinks that’s politically incorrect.. too bad for u, who cares!! 👍😲😎 Go Rangers, Go Hannity!! Go Trump!! Nothing like playoff hockey!! It’s the very best in sports!! 🥅 🏒
Funny, because before this I watched a reel on Insta that showed a game from 2012 where the rangers and devils had a full 5 man brawl right after puck drop. These teams have deep rooted animosity
Sorry to hear it,ny chokers,they are trying to get rid of trouble, but he wants to stay. Because of wife's medical.business,they will lose Igor at the end of the season,don't have the money he'll ask for and he doesn't want to end career like hank,no cups!😂
Thanks for this. You should do more full game highlights as it's refreshing when you're showing the true grit of hockey. And not the generic highlights we get from the NHL.

@@GamToGam the league needs more money and the two bring in a lot plus grow the game so I’ll deal with it. TNT has some good teams of Brendan Burke and Kenny Albert.

@@HarrisonHollers that’s my only gripe, the broadcast is fine but I swear whenever a goal is scored but I’m listening to a random interview it makes me want to jump out of a window and the crazy angles throws you off and makes it hard to follow the puck. At least I haven’t seen the suspended cameras in a while.
You don't see a lot of games where that many gloves come off-- at the opening drop! I love to see this level of passion between two teams. It's not over either- this will carry on for some time when they meet again.
It’s nice to see a bit of the old school hockey playing out again. Obviously we don’t want this every game but talk about reigniting a rivalry! Love to see it
I miss the days when goalies would have fought alongside their teammates just for the hell of it. If Patrick Roy, Mike Vernon, Ron Hextall, Dan Cloutier or Chris Osgood were in that game they'd have charged across the ice and started throwing down with whoever was in the other net.
You forgot Ray Emery who beat up Martin Biron and then went after Buffalo's tough guy ... with a smile on his face that said "finally I get to fight someone".
@@jrwardle1 I was just about to bring up Razor. He beat their tender down and then fought their tough guy with a smile on his face. He was probably one of the hardest fighters of his era, if not the toughest.
I remember lots of those fights years ago. It was time to go to the washroom, get a drink and come back 10 minutes later when I got to watch some actual hockey start back up. Booooorrrriiinnnggg stuff, all that fighting. If you like it, you have other real options to watch. It should all be treated as deliberate attempt to injure, since that is what they are doing. This is why I gravitated more towards football the past 20 something years. Players get hit, start quarterbacks get hit and you don't see so called goons or enforcers going after the guy who does the hitting. Modern NHL players should be playing non contact hockey, because they go after anyone that lays a good hit. Not talking about that Rempe idiot... those were not good hits. He got suspended, so that should have been the end of the episode.
@@johnmorrison9758 Wdym? If there is a dirty hit on a star QB in the NFL, you bet the players are going after that guy. Yes good hits are good hits and there should not be game-stopping fights for them. But for this crap Rempe is doing, you bet he deserves what he's got coming. I am not even a fan of either of these teams and I knew someone needed to kick Rempe's ass.

@@OSA-bf7tv Agreed a message from the league. Less toughness not so much. The league has many areas where they need to clean up being consistent on hits to the head is one.

Rempe is making entertainment and even my wife loves hockey because of the fights seem to be back in vogue. I love the fights and Rempe is an old school dude.
Good team bonding for both teams. Love to see teams have one of these every now and then. Now I am going to go cry some Penguins tears knowing none of my team, outside the ones you don't want fighting (Crosby, Letang) actually know how to stick up for each other lol.
Ah good old male bonding - it's more like young idiots reproducing the errors of past generations of players, trying way too hard to convince themselves they are men NHL clearly a circus right now
Those two coaches need to Man Up,grow a pair and get at it...the old Ranger now Philly coach wouldn't run away like the one you got now.Get Philly on the phone and make the trade before it's too late.
I know nothing about hockey but the fact that the official broadcast have stats for fights timing AND that it’s only the second fastest is legit hilarious
Rempe has 69 PIM in his short 14-game NHL career. He's recorded an average of 5 minutes and 26 seconds of ice time per game, for a total TOI of 76 minutes and 4 seconds. In his three games against the Devils, he's racked up 47 penalty minutes in 5 minutes and 3 seconds of ice time. His first game, and this game on April 3rd, he tallied 30 penalty minutes and just 15-seconds of ice time... He must have the lowest PIM to TOI average ever (sadly, the free stats sites don't let you search for that combination) with just 1.1 TOI/PIM... [TOI wasn't tracked by the NHL until the 1997-98 season] He's averaging 4.93 penalty minutes per game, well ahead of the all-time PIM leaders Dave Williams, Dale Hunter, Tie Domi, and Marty McSorley. Of top players by PIM, only Steve Durbano has a higher average of 5.12 PIM/G in Regular Season, and a career average of 5.04 PIM/G including the Playoffs. [Durbano only played 8 seasons in the NHL from 1972-1979] It'll be interesting to see how long his career will be...
He's a stiff to provide a distraction for the fans who weren't around for the better quality of hockey years ago - the NHL is a clown show now with politics and boring/convoluted parity of teams - franchises in non-hockey locales and just dull hockey. At least, this circus provokes debate and discussion. At the end of the day, though...Zzzzzzzzzz....
The rangers are now 11-2-1 with him on the ice and 40-19-3 with him out. He doesn’t have to play to have an impact. They called him up for his toughness, and have went from a meh team to the top of the nhl since.
@@danp2306 The ultimate hockey I ever witnessed was the Red Army team of the 70’s and 80’s dismantling the opposition. Poetry on ice. The shit offered these days is over priced and underwhelming most nights.
@@dieterhoch8273 it's ironic you mentioned that, I watched a few clips of it - 80s - a few days ago. However, remember - it was mostly during the NHL season - so, players didn't get breaks. 'Not sure how long the Russian leagues ran back then - but, I don't think it was 80 games. Nevertheless, the NHL teams weren't ready yet for the style the Russian teams played - especially, the Red Army squads.
All respect man. rivalry aside respect the players and have fun, was nice to see macdermid not talk shit after the game. It's what the game is all about, respect.
I’m from Toronto but at the hit at the 0:30 mark I went to New York with one of my friends who lives there who also plays hockey and we were begging to see a Rempe fight but instead we see this absolute beauty of a hit
The tickets for this game were actually a birthday present. My brother and I were getting to our seats and we wanted to watch puck drop. So we stopped for a moment to see it, and this fight breaks out. The crowd went insane for it. Also hilarious that later on when another fight break out, the ref botched and said "Penalty for f*ing" instead of fighting, I was dying.
@@OSA-bf7tv it's fun to see 1-2 fights a game. If it's a constant thing or happening all the time, it's not hockey anymore. I like the game of hockey with a few fights to rally the team and fans.
@dylanmcdowell3894 perhaps. But who's to say this wouldn't have happened again 12 minutes later. Another line brawl. Started by the players who lost their previous bout. Soon you could end up with the same guys going at it every shift. I'm here for the enforcer role to return and fights to happen in games, but it can quickly get out of hand.
@@ProfesseurTou because the league is soft as hell and they need to bring back fighting in a big way. Goons have always been a thing and they are going away which makes actual cheap hits go unanswered. The dude is almost seven feet tall if he goes for a hit it is almost always going to be considered high he isn’t aiming for skulls.
2:42 thanks for explaining why they got different penalties than the other 4 fights that happened. Didn't know that and was curious when I saw the penalties.
In Rempke's interview, he paid McDermit a huge compliment while calling him the toughest guy he has fought. He's young, he'll learn when to go and when not to go. But WE ALL KNEW those two were going to go. They didn't get to go last time. However, trouba needs to show him how to hit hard, but clean. Keep those wings tucked in. Play the game, the other stuff will come and go from there, but don't go in there looking for a fight
This is one of there most amazing non-sports related things I've ever seen in sports. EVERYONE on that ice agreed that a game could not be played until BUSINESS was handled!
This was awesome. I'm kind of sad I havent seen a line brawl from my favorite team (Habs) in a my lifetime. I am not in the NHL but I feel like this probably fosters some type of unity for sure. Sick beginning to the game.
This is what I love about hockey. Rempe answers the bell for a dirty hit in the previous game and McDermont goes ' yeah it's all good, he's a strong kid, respect'
He owns the devils though. McDermott said he couldn’t wait to get a crack at him and it looked like a draw. Not a beatdown at all. Devils are such trash
IK, he could get away with such brutal hits like he wants if he just tucked his elbows. But no he wants those dirty hits for some unknown idiotic reason
GREAT NARRATIVE AND COVERAGE, THANKS! This is exciting to see. GOOD GAWD I love hockey! This will set up an intense rivalry for years. Being a Ranger fan, though, Rempe's hits remind me of the questionable stuff Marchand does all the time. And I HATE that guy! I hope he gets some coaching to hit hard but clean, and then kick their butts in fights.
Lindgren is a tough guy who loves to scrap. I give him all the props in the world for not taking the bait @3:40 and causing his team to go down to only three defensemen. No way the Rangers win that game without him.
I mean, that altercations was due to happen, and neither team decided to put their best players as first liners. Definitely a wild one, but not a surprise.
What the hell did we witness? So no one watched hockey in 2012? That game started with both 4th lines fighting and DeBoer and Tortorella about jumping over the glass at each other. It's called the Hudson River Rivalry for a reason. And we play passionate hockey up here. Bout time y'all noticed.
Those two checks from behind to the board... Two days ago, NYI had in Philly two same checks, one injuring Couturier, and none got called. More interestingly, they have scored two goals from ensuing breakaways. That's predictable officiating...
hope he stays like his fire Players such as him just want call a place home he's welcome here in Jersey when issues get sorted out by upper management BIG TIME!!!
The problem is that Matt Rempe was a doing it absolutely on purpose, as he literally told fans he was going after players. He an unsafe hockey player and should be banned from the league before he seriously injures somebody or ends there career
The NHL's quality of play has fallen and they only care about politics. So, they are showcasing this goon who cheap shots every game. They don't care about player safety or anything like that. But, at least, fans will talk about this guy.
@@gregorsmithJust goes to show you know absolutely nothing about hockey. The only guys that are going to target his knees are the guys that target everyone's knees. Players aren't going to target him because he will annihilate them if they do. The tough guys will fight him, but that's it. They all respect each other because they all know that they could take one as well. It's a tough league.
The Kings and the Ducks, cross-town rivals. I remember a game where two got into it. They were yelling at each other the whole time in the penalty box. As soon as the doors opened, they went at it again. Good times.
because one fight broke out like half a second before the other ones which meant that the other four fights were deemed as escalating the situation which is a match penalty.
As the old joke goes, "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out."
No way that’s so true 😂
Gotta love it

He must have the lowest PIM to TOI average ever (sadly, the free stats sites don't let you search for that combination) with just 1.1 TOI/PIM... [TOI wasn't tracked by the NHL until the 1997-98 season]
He's averaging 4.93 penalty minutes per game, well ahead of the all-time PIM leaders Dave Williams, Dale Hunter, Tie Domi, and Marty McSorley. Of top players by PIM, only Steve Durbano has a higher average of 5.12 PIM/G in Regular Season, and a career average of 5.04 PIM/G including the Playoffs. [Durbano only played 8 seasons in the NHL from 1972-1979]
It'll be interesting to see how long his career will be...
He's a stiff to provide a distraction for the fans who weren't around for the better quality of hockey years ago - the NHL is a clown show now with politics and boring/convoluted parity of teams - franchises in non-hockey locales and just dull hockey. At least, this circus provokes debate and discussion. At the end of the day, though...Zzzzzzzzzz....
The rangers are now 11-2-1 with him on the ice and 40-19-3 with him out. He doesn’t have to play to have an impact. They called him up for his toughness, and have went from a meh team to the top of the nhl since.
His brain is gonna be mush from all the fights before he knows it. He’s not gonna have much of a career
@@danp2306 The ultimate hockey I ever witnessed was the Red Army team of the 70’s and 80’s dismantling the opposition. Poetry on ice. The shit offered these days is over priced and underwhelming most nights.
@@dieterhoch8273 it's ironic you mentioned that, I watched a few clips of it - 80s - a few days ago. However, remember - it was mostly during the NHL season - so, players didn't get breaks. 'Not sure how long the Russian leagues ran back then - but, I don't think it was 80 games. Nevertheless, the NHL teams weren't ready yet for the style the Russian teams played - especially, the Red Army squads.
Have never fully watched through a video on hockey, but you made it very entertaining! Best of luck .
jesus christ this was like old school hockey, shit like this on the rink is so rare nowadays
All respect man. rivalry aside respect the players and have fun, was nice to see macdermid not talk shit after the game. It's what the game is all about, respect.
Probably at least in part because he rocked Rempe's little bitch mouth.
Bratt is so fucking underrated
Just found this channel. I'm so sad I missed the game but thank you so much for covering this. Nice work.
I remember when that same scenario happened between Vancouver and Calgary. Gotta love hockey!
I’m from Toronto but at the hit at the 0:30 mark I went to New York with one of my friends who lives there who also plays hockey and we were begging to see a Rempe fight but instead we see this absolute beauty of a hit
The tickets for this game were actually a birthday present. My brother and I were getting to our seats and we wanted to watch puck drop. So we stopped for a moment to see it, and this fight breaks out. The crowd went insane for it.
Also hilarious that later on when another fight break out, the ref botched and said "Penalty for f*ing" instead of fighting, I was dying.
Rule 46.7 can go kick rocks
It's a good rule to keep the game from getting out of control.
@@JH22533 If fighting is "getting out of control", then vast majority of fans love to see out of control games.
I agree with the rule but it shouldn't be applied in situations like this one. This is just a good old-fashioned line brawl. Nothing got out of hand.
@@OSA-bf7tv it's fun to see 1-2 fights a game. If it's a constant thing or happening all the time, it's not hockey anymore. I like the game of hockey with a few fights to rally the team and fans.
@dylanmcdowell3894 perhaps. But who's to say this wouldn't have happened again 12 minutes later. Another line brawl. Started by the players who lost their previous bout. Soon you could end up with the same guys going at it every shift. I'm here for the enforcer role to return and fights to happen in games, but it can quickly get out of hand.
That first hit was clean old fashioned hockey and the league needs more of this kinda play
Why?
@@ProfesseurTou because the league is soft as hell and they need to bring back fighting in a big way. Goons have always been a thing and they are going away which makes actual cheap hits go unanswered. The dude is almost seven feet tall if he goes for a hit it is almost always going to be considered high he isn’t aiming for skulls.
@@Alec-x5l well that one guy killed the other with his skate last year with a throat kick
@ happy Gilmore ?
@@ProfesseurTou he’s 7 foot 2 on skates bodies him watch basketball
good ole hockey game.
We need more hockey like this!!! I miss old hockey
2:42 thanks for explaining why they got different penalties than the other 4 fights that happened. Didn't know that and was curious when I saw the penalties.
The 4th point redirect goal by #20 was fn beautiful. Well done 👍
Love to see this, reminds me of the good ole days lol.
Bring this style of hockey back. It only hurts the viewership not to.
I absolutely lost it when the game started and you just see gloves and sticks flying like a cartoon show xD
Tom Wilson changed this franchise
for the better, I imagine Devils fans are feeling pretty similar lately to how Rangers fans felt towards the end of that 2021 season. Poetic.
GREAT for Hockey!!! Made the game more intense and meaningful! Let the boys fight!!
Ngl Rempes bad hits on “better” players is going to get Mika and Panarin etc fucked up eventually..
Too bad for Panarin. Maybe he should insist that Rempe is fired (or sent to prison) if he cares about his own safety.
Jersey backup Goalie had the fear of life thinking about going into a tied game that intense cold LMAO
Jomboy Media is gonna enjoy this one
Jomboy is a clown
He needs to cover more NHL and say forget Cricket and all that other nonsense.
Jomboy is a joke
phenomenal coverage that no look backhand pass to put the devils up 3-2 was sick
To quote the movie Slap Shot: Too much, too soon! 😂
In Rempke's interview, he paid McDermit a huge compliment while calling him the toughest guy he has fought. He's young, he'll learn when to go and when not to go. But WE ALL KNEW those two were going to go. They didn't get to go last time.
However, trouba needs to show him how to hit hard, but clean. Keep those wings tucked in. Play the game, the other stuff will come and go from there, but don't go in there looking for a fight
ESPN/TNT DOESNT KNOW HOCKEY, BRING BACK NBC
This is one of there most amazing non-sports related things I've ever seen in sports. EVERYONE on that ice agreed that a game could not be played until BUSINESS was handled!
they couldn't settle it with a proper fight like boxing or MMA, they gotta waste all the time of the people who bought tickets to see this shitshow
reason #104 why TNT and ESPN as broadcasters is such a dumb fucking idea. All four streams? same camera angle. cmon.
You can refuse the money from the two channels and shut the league down? Whichever you like. Dumb content by a dumb commenter.
This was awesome. I'm kind of sad I havent seen a line brawl from my favorite team (Habs) in a my lifetime.
I am not in the NHL but I feel like this probably fosters some type of unity for sure.
Sick beginning to the game.
This is what I love about hockey. Rempe answers the bell for a dirty hit in the previous game and McDermont goes ' yeah it's all good, he's a strong kid, respect'
This was good hockey, and more importantly entertaining hockey
what. a. game.
I keep hearing that Miller cleaned the floor with Marino, but there's no camera angles of that fight. I wish I could see it!
It was a domination. Look up the wide angle shot by Ryan Novozinsky, he shows it
And then Miller reached his palm down to the ice as to say, "you're too small lil bro"
Great commentary, you get a sub brother !!
Rempe is like 12ft tall and yet still lift his arm to aim right at other player heads… what a rat
He owns the devils though. McDermott said he couldn’t wait to get a crack at him and it looked like a draw. Not a beatdown at all. Devils are such trash
IK, he could get away with such brutal hits like he wants if he just tucked his elbows. But no he wants those dirty hits for some unknown idiotic reason
GREAT NARRATIVE AND COVERAGE, THANKS! This is exciting to see. GOOD GAWD I love hockey! This will set up an intense rivalry for years. Being a Ranger fan, though, Rempe's hits remind me of the questionable stuff Marchand does all the time. And I HATE that guy! I hope he gets some coaching to hit hard but clean, and then kick their butts in fights.
We need a new jersey.vs new york playoffs next year
this is the best video covering this brawl
5:29 perfect edit 🆙🙄lmao
Lindgren is a tough guy who loves to scrap. I give him all the props in the world for not taking the bait @3:40 and causing his team to go down to only three defensemen. No way the Rangers win that game without him.
I mean, that altercations was due to happen, and neither team decided to put their best players as first liners. Definitely a wild one, but not a surprise.
What the hell did we witness? So no one watched hockey in 2012? That game started with both 4th lines fighting and DeBoer and Tortorella about jumping over the glass at each other. It's called the Hudson River Rivalry for a reason. And we play passionate hockey up here. Bout time y'all noticed.
I know. That was even better than this shit was
I mean, that was 12 years ago...lol
ok boomer
@@Rwn819 I was born in 1989 dipshit. Great comeback.
@trevorwhatever2050 yeah the Devils were relevant back then, but obviously history repeats itself ey?
I love to see this, we need more of this in modern day NHL.
Lazar is such a beauty
i have a signed oil kings bobble head and a signed hat and a signed card from him. Legend
I grew up a devils fan I watched all throughout the 90s I remember the era where this was normal lol seeing this rivalry makes me happy
Those two checks from behind to the board... Two days ago, NYI had in Philly two same checks, one injuring Couturier, and none got called. More interestingly, they have scored two goals from ensuing breakaways.
That's predictable officiating...
The NHL doesn't care about cheap shots and injured players. Besides, most of the games are fixed. Gambling is a huge industry in sports now.
the slowmo flex on the stick as they shoot the puck, pretty impressive. The level of technique in hockey is very very high
Rempe with another two black eyes
This was my fathers and i first hockey game together and i will remember it as long as ill live. Everyone in MSG was on their feet chanting
Not real hockey fans. They recognize PR stunts when they see them on the ice.
So... where is he now? He'll not see the NHL again.
Hell yea Dermy! As an Avs fan, I miss him
hope he stays like his fire Players such as him just want call a place home he's welcome here in Jersey when issues get sorted out by upper management BIG TIME!!!
Same for Us Kings Fans Nater!!....👊🔥
“We cut to Shesterkin in the middle of it. *Shesterky picking up his pad*😭😭😭
rempe is so fucking dirty
the one ref jsut standing there with his hands on his hips so so iconic
The problem is that Matt Rempe was a doing it absolutely on purpose, as he literally told fans he was going after players. He an unsafe hockey player and should be banned from the league before he seriously injures somebody or ends there career
Fully agree.
Huh? What are you talking about
The NHL's quality of play has fallen and they only care about politics. So, they are showcasing this goon who cheap shots every game. They don't care about player safety or anything like that. But, at least, fans will talk about this guy.
I'm telling ya players are gonna target his knee if he keeps running around...bye bye ACL
@@gregorsmithJust goes to show you know absolutely nothing about hockey. The only guys that are going to target his knees are the guys that target everyone's knees. Players aren't going to target him because he will annihilate them if they do. The tough guys will fight him, but that's it. They all respect each other because they all know that they could take one as well. It's a tough league.
The Kings and the Ducks, cross-town rivals. I remember a game where two got into it. They were yelling at each other the whole time in the penalty box. As soon as the doors opened, they went at it again. Good times.
What we witnessed is old time hockey, hockey the way it’s meant to be played!!!
Poetry in motion, absolutely beautiful!!
Why didn't those 8 players just get 5 minutes for fighting??
2:33
because one fight broke out like half a second before the other ones which meant that the other four fights were deemed as escalating the situation which is a match penalty.
@@speedinturtle00 thanks, I more so mean the rule should be those 8 players get 5 minutes for fighting instead
@@guttydozensecondary altercation (fighting after others are already fighting) will get you kicked from a game
Didn't you watch the video?
Came for the sport, stayed for the fights😂.
Bless you ice hockey, bless you.
