Rick Rypien vs Chris Neil

Guess Rypien should stick to the more gangly heavyweights,
along with his fellow middleweights...
and avoid stocky tough guys all together.

Nice to see him put in perspective, as well.

Neil took over the fight.

I hate to admit it, but Neil got the best of him. As I said in my Carkner post, when are we going to get a scrapper. Rypien is the only one that can win the lightweight fights and he hasn't done that well either as you could see by this one and the one with Prust.

Rypien loss...rumor has it that he's a Human !

really good fight.....Rypien got the jump and did very well early but Neil really landed heavy shots once he got going and seemed to be too much for Rip....Neil showed his experience and kind of manhandled him in the last half of the fight

the look of the two benches after the fight told allot.....Ottawa's is fired up and Vancouver bench looked pretty down after the fight only a couple of nucks were hitting their sticks on the boards

give credit to Rypien for taking on a very tough guy that is bigger than him.....this time it didn't work out but the kid is game and his fights are always entertaining

WIN NEIL!!!!! Nice fight!!!!

Don't BS anyone!!!!!

Hey Landon20 You can spell credibility but you HAVE NONE!!!!!!
HEY vanisland................you have plenty!!!!!!!!

Langdon I don't feel superior because of spelling....I feel Good about myself cause I am HONEST even when My boys lose!!!!!!! I bet you are undefeated!!!!!! HA HA HA Lmao

Neil wins one hell of a fight. For someone who lets fly like Rypien does, it was amazing Neil stayed so focused and connected throughout. Beauty.

ripper early and often...neil using his size & punching power to take over @ the end for the W

good fight. The Ripper bit off more than he could chew. Win Neil

win neil in a decent scrap. rypien never got it goin here

Rypien started well, but after Neil landed the big right, he was all over him. Rypien took it well, but Neil won this one.

not even close

Win Neil, hes drpping bombs on Rippers face and Ripper is throwing pillows back

Hopefully some people on this site will stop riding his balls so hard now.

Rypien looked like he might do his giant killer routine, and landed the early shots, but Neil stayed focused and did a workman like job on him. Two of the best guys to watch in all of hockey: always interesting.

Not a good night for the Canucks in the fighting dept. Another clear cut win for Neil and the Sens here.

Neil took a few early but came back to control the fight,landing some good shots. Win Neil.
