R.I.P Rypien <3

[iamsirpat]

rick rypien was a psycho

[EngNaruSuks]

He's Rypien into Boris.

[moonshinefe]

The ripper is one of the toughest lb for lb fighters in the league, don't mess with that guy

[91gensfan]

no matter what people say, u have to love rypien. fights a guy whos like 8 inches taller and nearly 60 pounds heavier and does a pretty damn good job. thats heart. fought smart and throws quick. solid

[ododd]

rypien fights guys 50 pounds heavier and half a foot taller ... and wins!

[lstepien1]

fags

[RobT89]

dude Boris is 6-7, honestly that is so tall, its amazing that Rypien overcame the difference. Fought smart.

[RobT89]

Rypien and Lucic, would be one of the most defining and exciting fights in hockey. That would be amazing. I doubt Lucic will fight Rypien though because he has more roles than just grit on his team.

[TheRipperRypien]

@RobT89 Rypien is still a good hockey player, he had injury problems for like 2 years on the Canucks, you don't waste time on a player who can just fight for that long.

[awsomestan]

wooooo go Canucks!!!

[RenoZemrak]

rypien may b small BUT MAN CAN HE THROW EM!!!!!!!!!

[Regal1800]

hockey fights are the new GAY!!!

[awsomestan]

hah hockey fights are way more straight than UFC fights

[crackpipe76]

Lucic >>>>>Rypien

[ForzaAquila]

ummm...u were proved wrong by this video.

[crackpipe76]

how was I proved wrong. Lucic is better than Rypien.  end of story

[ForzaAquila]

because valabik is already better than lucic. saying lucic is better than rypien...

[crackpipe76]

smoke another bowl buddy.

[ForzaAquila]

i quit sorry.

[crackpipe76]

way to throw in the towel there. you MUST be American. Happy Holidays

[ForzaAquila]

unfortunately i'm not canadian nor american. so unlike you i'm not biased and i certainly have a more neutral point of view than you.

[slugger1983]

You can't argue that Rypien is pound for pound the best in the league though.

[jordin22rules]

Since when are Carcillo, Stortini, Gill and Valabik considered heavyweights in the NHL????

Good fight by Rypien, but to say he is the best pfp fighter in the NHL is just stupid. Tootoo would school him.

[trev1414]

Rypien >>> Tootoo

[Murny17]

But when you look at the height and weight difference you realize how much of a good fighter Rypien is

[buttkick22]

calm down guys.....it wasn't "domination" by rypien even if he won

[2000hockeypro]

lol go rypien

[idlike2dooyoo]

Hahaha. Seasons Beatings Boris.

[CanucksfanKyle]

Valabik beat him early on, but Rypien destoryed him at the end. This can't even be argued, Rypien won that fight hands down.

[auggiedoggy]

Yes!!! Decision to Rypien. Boris probably thought this would be an easy fight by the smile on his face. Looks like Rypien wiped that smile off his face when you look at Valabik sitting in the penalty box.

[infinitidal]

Does anyone really think Valabik will be showing this fight on his career highlight reel?

theres no doubt Rypien came out the winner

[hendy4584]

There's no shame in losing to Rypien. His dad was a gold gloves boxer, where do you think he learned to scrap like that. Check out the rest of Rypiens fights on Youtube, he doesn't lose a single one and against heavyweights like Carcillo, Stortini, Gill and now Valabik.

[buttkick22]

love rypien.....but he isn't undefeated.....i remember him losing to doug murray pretty bad and that guy who use to play for boston who now plays for the NYI in pre-season......couple of spirited draws in there too.....still the pound for pound toughest guy in the league as far as i'm concerned

[shiftyoneslc]

Rypien clearly wins this fight, as he does most fights. Valabik looking down on him as if to intimidate him and then taking a beating by a man 8 inches shorter than him is just... brilliant.

[DeathByDrumstik]

rypien won but not by much he didnt dominate in any way its just impressive that he was able to do that to an opponent that size

[tujungite]

So when your jersey is pulled over your head by a guy 8 inches smaller than you and you can't do anything but receive punches to the skull....what do you call that? hint: DOMINATION.hahahahahah

[DeathByDrumstik]

um were you even watching the same fight ... rypien was getting rocked at first and then at the very end put in some punches that wasn't domination at all

[kingandyone]

WIN VALABIK

[npalardy]

6 7 vs 5 11......

[Dnicks17]

To all these idiots who said Rypien won..

He landed 1 punch when Valabik's jersey wasn't over his head...

[SIoyvenheaven1]

If you don't think Rypien won the fight you're a fucking idiot. However, I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to say you're not the sharpest tool in the shed.

[Obangg]

No. You're retarded.

Rypien destroyed him.

[xizzlex]

the grim ripper strikes again

[hmsrenown]

Seriously, Valabik isn't as skilled in fighting, but whoever say Rypien absolutely dominated the fight are deluding themselves.

Now, Rypien did won hands down

[saiyajingabe]

Boris is an awesome name.

[thebigfish21]

Terrible it cuts out right as Rypien gets the upper hand! Ended up beating Boris down to the ice despite being 8 inches shorter and about 50 pounds lighter.

[AEMoreira81]

The Vancouver feed gets it much better.

Valabik should be forbidden from fighting again, getting beaten down by someone giving up 60 pounds.

[Frankenpalin]

Rypien does that to just about everybody

[NarutoOwnsU]

Ryp rips him apart

[alan22]

"Rypien hung in there..."

Really?

[flipboi87]

More like other way around!

[Donutz0r]

Here's the full fight as shown by the Sportsnet feed.

/watch?v=6pzM1txgXJ4

[missyfinlay]

not the best video, doesn't show the entire fight.

[Adcmd19]

RIPPPERRRRRRRRRRRR

[Donutz0r]

lol @ atlanta's feed cutting out the part where Rypien starts railing him.

[pinkfloydfan79]

no it wasnt....not sure what fight you were watching. Valabik got a few in at the beginning but Rypien layed a licken on him at the end and got the TKO and take down.

[pinkfloydfan79]

Rypien with the win.
