Rick Rypien vs Cam Janssen

wow very good video footage....they slow it down and give us three different looks

i must say that Rypien is an amazing fighter......not since Stan Jonathan have i seen a guy so able to move up in size and look dominant

lighting fast.....accurate.....overwhelming......Janssen is great but Rypien really carved him up!!

FOTY so far i would say....impressive stuff!

Bieska looked to be chasing Janssen,
before Rypien (unfortunately for Janssen)
jumped in.

In real-time, it looked drawish,
but the slow-mo showed Rypien picking him apart.

By the end,
Janssen, bereft of his usual ''poor-man's Tie Domi'' cockiness,
seemed dazed, but still aware enough to be relieved that Rypien got tossed.

Great fight.
Nasty win...
Rypien.

Blood does not equal a win. Draw

This was a great fight, and I have to give it to Rypien, he landed more and he landed often. The ejection surprised me, but it's in the rule book.

YEA BABY!!!!! I have been waiting for this for a while.........Janssen is Stronger but The Ripper gets the win>>Landed more ......
I can't believe someone called it a TKO!!!!! I do understand some calling it a draw but they should slow it down and watch it a couple times>>>
Ripper wins and again WE ALL win..........
THANKS to the dude who started this Site!!!!!!!!! You Rock Buddy!!!!!

Great fight! Nice job by both guys. Gave a slight edge to Rypien, looked like he landed more and was a bit more accurate. Very entertaining. Gave it a 9.

janson by dq.

I can't stand Janssen, and Rypien won this fight but my God people he isn't the second coming. The bandwagon is loaded up and dripping with hyperbole. Try not to wet your pants at the mere mention of his name and recognize that he's an excellent fighter, but a light weight puncher and that's about it.

rypien got the match penalty because of the tape. I was listening to the radio for this game and chase said it was because cam had a nasty cut/scrape from the tape on rypiens hand. wish the zebras would have let it continue a while long. I'm sure that janssen had no objections to the tape or blood... I hope we get to see round two.

edge goes to rypien for having a great showing as usual

great fight, a lot of nice short , inside punching, i can't wait to see the rypien-tootoo match

rypien landed more with both hands

These guys are at the top of their game this year and many on this site have wanted to see this bout, and we were not disappointed. I will admit that I am a huge Rypien fan but thought he would be in trouble when going up against some of the big boys (except Stortini), which Janssen seems to do with success, but even he is considerably bigger than Rypien..

Absolutely amazing that at one point Rypien throws and lands a right, blocks Cam with his left and then immediately throws a scoring left cross without even getting hit. He showcased his boxing skills and Janssen left the ice looking pretty confused and busted up which is a big change from his normal wave the linesman away and cocky skate to the box.

Great fight, I am sure they will go again, and Janssen will continue the good work, but a very impressive win by Rypien.

Rypien puts on the foil...
win the Ripper

Hell of a fight, Rypien landed a few more big ones though and gets the edge, the only bad part is that the damn line-os had to break it up when they did, there was plenty of fight left in both guys.

Ripper and Janssen will be having beers together after the game, I'm sure.
