rip

[irishjames5]

lol the guy had his helmet on. i would want someone to punch my noggin if i had a helmet on lol fuck whoever thinks this was dirty. i too believe you shouldn't hit someone when they're down but they were down for one second and ricky only hit him three times just grazing his HELMET wit his knuckles. ice bag for rick, big smile for the other guy..

[groundsmanbri]

Only a coward hits a man when hes down, its an unwritten rule in the NHL. He's not that great of a fighter, and hes not that good of a player. John Sim is better and John Sim is terrible. Rick Rypien is now in the hospital for suicidal mental issues for the second time in two years. It has not even affected the Canucks with him gone, in fact they seem to have a better team now and more chemistry.

@groundsmanbri what no u

[Coghiller]

@groundsmanbri The guy obviously pissed the hell outta Ripper for him to do that. Hes the best pound-for-pound fighter in the NHL,and he has skills....know who your talking about.

[groundsmanbri]

@Coghiller You've got to be kidding me right? He was just a fighter, he was one of the least scoring enforcers in the NHL, he lacked in many areas of his game. And he was never the best pound for pound fighter in the game, not even close. He was tough, no doubt, but he had a lot of issues. He had very little playing time also because his lack in areas. He's lost more then he's won in fights. Most fight bloggers do not even list him as one of or near a top fighter.

[dezprince]

@groundsmanbri I'm sorry, but you're wrong Rypien was the best pound for pound fighter in the NHL. Look for his tilt with Hal gill.

[groundsmanbri]

@dezprince noway, I seen Rypien get his ass kicked over half his short career in fights. That ain't pound for pound. Hal Gill is not considered anywhere near the top so it means crap. PJ Stock beat Gill also but worse and Stock would wipe Rypiens face all over the ice if he was still playing.

[groundsmanbri]

@Coghiller It don't matter how much a person pisses you off as a fighter with words, in this game he never received a dirty shot or any of his teammates to warrant this. It is a perfect example of what an undisciplined fighter is. Granted, as i'm told and seen...he is a very nice guy off the ice.Probert and many other NHL great enforcers were overwhelmingly against hitting a man when their down. It's an unwritten rule in the NHL not just amongst Enforcers but with all players. It's dirty,Period.

[ifraglife]

Rypiens best wins are against pussies. Also hes not even that good at hockey.

who cares

[herra16]

guys...........Rypien is a GREAT fighter, but he would get demolished by a true heavyweight. against a guy like chara, or boogaard, he would be destroyed. Against a guy like McSorely, or Probert, Rypien would get R.I.P.ed. Again, I like Rypien I think he is a great fighter, I live in Vancouver and watch him play a ton.....however, Im also a realist and I know he would unfortunately get destroyed by a true heavy. I actually hate how much the homers build him up like he is some sort a world beater

[PunjabiPhreshh]

@herra16 hes not in a heavy weight class tho retard

[imnotemo14]

@herra16 didnt he fight chara? and chara just kinda threw him around? lol hes definitely got a ton of heart though

[2WIREG]

@herra16 Rypien does not even weigh 200 pounds and those 2 push over 250....congrats you managed to compare rypien with the 2 heaviest and tallest guys in the league....you must feel so smart!

[agentxero24]

hahahaha beat the fuck outta him man rypper is fucking awesome

[acomotoya]

HOLY SHIT

[SuperThunderlips]

The tough guy really shows it when he punches a guy when he's down.

Props to NEIL for puttin this guy in his place.......back to the minors boy

[itsthizzbaby]

@SuperThunderlips That was the first time I have ever seen Rypien hit a guy when he is down in 100 fights, he must have really hated that guy. On the other hand, Neil throws in cheap shots every chance he gets.

[VikingsOnCall]

@SuperThunderlips cry me a river PussyLips, back to the beer league for ur dumbass

[SuperThunderlips]

@VikingsOnCall Ah your one of those "cult rippy fans"...........how did he do against Byfuglien when he tried to take a run at him after the whistle a couple games ago? Thats what I thought he was eating ice. He doesnt fight anyone tough........ back to the minors boy.....

[stujje]
