[angrybirds802]

rick makes hal look like a rookie

[LTrojanowski1]

hal gill is like come one peewee, woah woah, ouch ouch ouch STOP!!

[killerguitar44]

Give him a ladder lmfao

[megastr888]

R.I.P rypper; the good die young...

[geoffpopowich]

...the size of the fight in the dog

[RampagedProductions]

Just goes to show in fighting, Size doesn't matter

[animegirlcrazy1]

howdid he die?

[FrostyTheFlowman1]

@animegirlcrazy1 committed suicide.

[DLong251]

@FrostyTheFlowman1 nothing has been released on how exactly he died. it's up to the family to decide to release it or not, until then jumping to conclusions about how he died is disrespectful

[FrostyTheFlowman1]

@DLong251 i am not being disrespectful in any way. And I am just saying that because the reports sent out by the canucks and police said it was suicide. r.i.p. rypien

[animegirlcrazy1]

@FrostyTheFlowman1 aww y did he do thta? do u no y?

[FrostyTheFlowman1]

@animegirlcrazy1 he had depression, a lot of people are saying the depression was from his best friend killing himself right in front of rypien. It isn't official though.

[ovywan08]

@FrostyTheFlowman1 my bet is on rypien taking one too many shots to the head that caused the depression

[megastr888]

@ovywan08 that would cause a concussion; depression is more an emotional/psychological thing than a result of physical trauma.

[ovywan08]

@megastr888 well it's a known fact that depression is prevalent among retired nfl players, particularly linemen, so im not saying, im just saying.....

[soflynolyelul]

@ovywan08 your not saying, im just saying? that doesnt make any fucking sense???????

[ksnowdorp16]

Some one get him a ladder! Always loved that line, so much heart and fight. Rest in Peace Rick Rypien.

[SlipSlydinLydin]

RIP Rick...you reminded me of George McPhee on the ice...pound for pound as tough & fearless as men are!

[kidmoe28]

Sadly... For all his toughness on the outside.. Rypien was broken on the inside...

:(

[MrMacsquared]

Great fighter, best possible fight match up ever: NOT ST.PIERRE and SILVA but RYPIEN VS. RAY EMERY ...R.I.P

[tclol1]

i like how the every1 was just standing there for ages then they eventually split them up

[jewelcitydevil]

God Bless your soul RYPPER. My favorite fighter was PJ STOCK and then you came along. Just like Manny Pacquiao got me excited to watch boxing, you got me excited to watch HOCKEY FIGHTS again. My heart truly broke when I read the news online, but your work and talents will forever live on in classic video clips like this. Your fearless style of fighting inspires me to take on the world, you will live on. One more time I yell out, "VIVA LA RYPIEN!"

[francelover12]

RIP Rick Rypien. You will be remembered. You were nice ennough to stop by our school and got to meet everyone.

[wayner8088]

RIP Rick....you're forever a Canuck

[Wingerdinger0]

[McMastaRush]

Die you weat bastard

[StealthMode86]

@McMastaRush Ever heard of respecting the dead? Show some class, fuckface

[brizky1]

@McMastaRush Clearly you have no moral respect. Obviously you have some kind of mental issue cause you sure aint right in the head if you disrespect somebody like that. Weak bastard. Get it right.

[zejono]

@McMastaRush how much dick does your dad give you

[dnjstjr17]

@McMastaRush dude show some respect. you lil fucker. i bet your moms a dead slut and your dads a whore banging bastard.. dont disrespect the dead.

[Cruppet1]

@McMastaRush Who knew Hal Gill had a youtube account?

[kidmoe28]

[Jethromcsheepherder]

@ynottep It's sad. He was the 'giant killer' on the ice, but off the ice the biggest giant of all in his life won...depression. Thumbs up alone can't express how much I love your comment.

[tpp27]

RIP RICK.

YOU WILL BE MISSED.

=[

[ogtsui]

RIP man

[Cjbona14]

Hal gill is a gutless puke that jersey fits him well

[thewhitekindofcancer]

@Cjbona14 ?

[TheeUrbanGentleman]

What the fuck is Hal Gill good for?

[rebelgirl19880906]

RIP Ripper. You were definitely someone to watch on the ice. So sad that you left us so young. You will be greatly missed. Once a Canuck, always a Canuck.

[brizky1]

RIP rick. died at the age os 27. so sad.

[canurself19]

He could easily take on guys twice his size. Ripper, you'll be missed by the entire Canucks community. Forever a Canuck. Rip.

[etakaoka]

you brought joy to all fans when you stepped onto that ice. seeing this fight puts a smile on my face. you were missed when you signed with the jets, and you'll be missed even more now. rest in peace, rick rypien.

[CoryJWise]

R.I.P Rick Rypien, You will always be my favorite player

[vridaw]

RIP Ripper - you'll be missed bro

[StrikerBwF]

RIP Rick

[RayLMichY]

RIP Rick Rypien =(

[MrBarelylethal]

I guess Boogaard needed a dance partner in heaven. Heartfelt goodbye to a player who was so much fun to watch fight!

[canuckscanadasteam96]

OMFG rip rick

[crazycolin]

Great fight and a great game, so glad I was there to see it in person.

[MrBarelylethal]

REST IN PEACE!!!

[EmYee21]

as someone who totally doesnt condone cheapshots and unnecessary violence, watching rypien fight was oddly a breath of fresh air! instead of sheer brutality (honestly, what most hockey fights turn into), rypien's fights highlighted determination and perseverance against a spectrum of differences...it was really quite inspiring! so, rip rick the rypper... so sad to hear you're gone, but glad you're finally in a better place.

[Josh14Hockey]

RIP Buddy ! Will always be a Canucks in all our Hearts

[Justincmontero]

RIP Rick Rypien 

[GMPro24]

RIP to one of the toughest guys i ve ever seen. :(

[rodz0r]

[Hundal19]

R.I.P to the pound for pound best figher in the NHL

[keslehrongo]

[Floorballstar]

RIP Rypien <3

[SuperEpicTimes]

rypien is fuckin epic, too bad he is in winnipeg. Now iam fuckin scared.

[epicfail86]

Gill looks like such a troll lol

[Mark1379]

Rypien wanted none of BGL all game long

[MCMarsh70]

its easy to fight when you do three lines of cocaine right rick???



[Pronocide]

I think it was Rypien man.

[BaseballKid4169]

if he was a little taller, he would be the best fighter in the league

[CuziCan15]

@BaseballKid4169 he already is, vancouver will miss him

[mediblue9]

Not good enough to win the Cup...haha

[Yashhh06]

@mediblue9

enough to kick most nhl players ass though... haha. Cup doesnt define a team.

[TheSteelhead15]

rypien is one of the best fighters in the nhl no matter his size he has boxing experience

[northernGdog]

you laughin at rypien , watch rypien vs janssen, gill is big elephant girl

[TheAogGuy]

Cmon Gill, Let go of him, he doesn't wanna hug you XD

[NasreenN101]

i don't know if i should laugh or ...

[Flaavour]

@NasreenN101 well I'm laughing hahahha

rypiennnnnn

[MrCrazyStraw]

rypien did really good against him

[3Miikka4]

david vs goliath

[GuitarGuru1125]

Michael Haley vs Rick Rypien... That would be sick. Two small guys who are fucking tough as hell

[lowbridgehit]

yah, a small fighter against a big non fighter. interesting. the code is a bit fucked up in this one.

[wizzybizzy87]

Gill isn't a fighter. I would've liked to see Rypien vs a real fighter, like Laraque. Yeah, that could've been ugly.

[domeROCKk]

@wizzybizzy87 stortini is a real fighter and rypien kicked the shit out of him

[NasreenN101]

rypien fights.. and evander kane ko punch on cooke..best fights ever in my books

[mkailov13]

Gill can't even beat someone up half his size.

[Krunch907]

@mkailov13 He rarely fights..

[hydr5]

@mkailov13 Hall Gill isn't a fighter lol

[Diversitial]

@hydr5 What the fuck are you talking about? Hall Gil is possibly known as the greatest NHL fighter in history, next to Tonkatruck ;)

[Lewis2931]

@mkailov13 hes not a fighter ushally he just grabs people and holds them thats his job and he makes more than you or me so stfu

[mkailov13]

@Lewis2931

So because he makes more than me, I can't criticize him? Fuck off.

[nickblaze420]

Gill's obviously a lover. We need a good goon dammit! Bring laraques big black ass back! He couldnt play for shit but we whooped ass!

[TheVincentMo]

da guy on da montreal team is like a head taller then rypien

[aliboboRNP]

Rypien the war machine pound for pound the best in nhl without a doubt

[iEatJewBurgers2]

gill is getting his ass kicked by someone half his size

[shelter345]

Rypien gets the nod in that one. He reminds me of Stan Jonathon for some reason. Maybe its his toughness given his size.

[jml816]

bahahahaha thats so embaressing.. leave the nhl gill u lanky fuck

[G0odf3lla]

Hal Gill is the worsr fighter ever

[GuitarGuru1125]

@G0odf3lla no. gill is rypien compared to kostopolous

[MrJuha82]

SOLID DRAW HANDS DOWN !!!!!!!

Good punching by both man.

Gill early, Rypien late.

[AlexAlexander18]

Gill won this one, but you can not blame Rick Rypien... The guy he is facing weights 200 lbs more and is twice as tall.

[bluesgurugod]

@AlexAlexander18 I didn't know that Hal Gill was almost 12 feet tall and weighed over 400 pounds... wow- learn something new every day!

[MrAsu333]

rypien rapes...

[nadroj53]

6'5 vs 5'11...go 5'11!!!

[vince0123]

gill is just a tall pussy

[mig3mig3mig3]

gill is a pussy

[TheZeromix]

some one get him a ladder...lol

[Yashhh06]

@TheZeromix

yeah, canadiens needed one to catch up.

[Renepoiuy]

wooooooooow  rypien kicked butt

[nitesco]

Pound for pound Rypien might be the best

[beefcakes42]

hate the canucks, but rypien is one tough little bastard...

[boyrandom72]

lmao this shit is stupid, Gill is not a fighter at all. Rypien gets no credit for this fight, he landed all of 2 punches and Gill didnt even give a shit.

[PinkPanther094]

rest of the players on the ice are just watching like... fuck

[TheeUrbanGentleman]

Lolol. Hal Gill can't fight. What's he good for? Ruining play-off runs?

[Sidney1287]

Lol lets see Ovechkin verse Rypien.

Rypien will kick his ass so much

[HissMMA]

Gill can't fight

[draziom902]

holy shit.

[jcheadle80]

hal gill is a piece of shit

[sixfeetontop]

@jcheadle80 ur a piece of shit

[zhesandman]

haha rypein looks like a midget compared to gill

[windguardien]

Rick Rypien's an incredible fighter. It's like he doesn't feel pain in his face at all.

[Brandon9799]

Did Gill land a single punch?

[fijiankilla]

ofcoarse rypien wins, but boring fight, hal gall so slow, hal gall is nothing compared to rypien, a fight i wanna see is something like RYPIEN VS BOOGard, now that will b a scary fight 2 watch, nhl can make money off those too fighting and i bet canucks vs newyork will b a pay per view game, rypien vs boogard OMFG

[Rey123Duncan]

rypien is beast...sucks how he got suspended..gill didnt rly get good hits off while rypien swung like shiat~

[DerangedRanger1]

I doubt Rypien would have been able to handle Laraque. I guess he is another Lucic?

[nardo363636]

a "gain"st? who says it like that? wtf, that anouncer says it twice.

[liennto]

woah Gill is HUGE

[MW2PeteB11]

Rypien completely owned Gill. Gill may have had more swings but he didn't connect with any of them. Rypien gave Gill 2 or 3 solid punches square on the face. In a fight, the winner is who leaves in the best shape and I got to say that big ole Gill's face musta been hurting a lot more than Ryp's!

[DerangedRanger1]

@MW2PeteB11 Gill is not a fighter.

[iozzi89]

hal gill.. YOU ARE A PUSSY !!!

[xpenn420]

@iozzi89 please explain to me why you would call a professional athlete a pussy ?

[JDJAKS]

@iozzi89 id like to see you say that to his face tough guy

[iozzi89]

@JDJAKS i will, bring him to me then.. HAH!

[iozzi89]

@JDJAKS i will bud.. just bring him to me.. HAH!

[JDJAKS]

@iozzi89 lol from behind a bullet proof window?

[iozzi89]

@JDJAKS nah, a sunflower dress, just to through him off a bit

[rs210]

he also like to fight fans

[birshyB]

hal gill is a lover not a fighter haha

[nuggets556]

RIPPER FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
