My oh my that was a great fight. Switching them up like that, very good energetic fight. Rypien landed some nice shots. Win for Rypien and an 8. Thank you for that fellahs, showing the rest how its done! (Sight, Garrett... as a former BCian I don't really miss you very much.)

Rypien wanted it, he got it and won

Very good fight. Close one, but Rypien landed a lot more meaningful shots.

It's good to see Rypien back. He's very much like some of the old school fighters like Tiger Williams or Stan Jonathan.

Yes. YES! He's back. Now the cup goes to Vancouver.

Rypien is back and that makes for some entertaining scraps. Go check his history out they are all toe to toe, and he almost always gives up a few inches and 25+ pounds. If only he could stay healthy....

He did leave the team earlier this year after getting hurt yet again. Perhaps depressed, or contemplating his career? The usual substance abuse rumours came up. Not sure what happened or why.

Rypien with some nice on target lefts, clearly winning this scrap...

Rypien may be the best pound-for-pound fighter I've seen, he's smaller than Mike Keane. Watch some of his fights on youtube, against Commodore and Mike Moore he actually blocks punches with his forearms when he gets into toe-to-toe battles.....who does that??? He whooped Carcillo's ass. He's a student of hockey-fighting and reminds me a little of Dody Wood. If he can stay healthy he's gonna be a force.

WIN Rypien. Rick Rypien continues to impress. Welcome back!

Got to give it to Rypien in this one, he's a killer. I love how he can throw them equally well with both hands. I should say that I would give Ripper extra credit for going up in weight class but he dosn't have his own weight class. The kid is fearless, let's just hope that he can stay healthy for the rest of the season and the playoffs.

I swear, If rypien weighed like 30 more pounds. He'd be a Tie Domi status fighter.
