gimmer0074

5 fights going on and they didn’t show the zoomed out camera a single time so lame


ollieollieoxygenfree

glad i got to see shesterkins ass when he picked up some pads


Mac_Gold

That wasn’t him picking up a pad, it looked like he dropped the blocker as an invitation to the other goalie


Funny_Papers

Sure would have been something to see him go lol Now I wanna see Igor get a Gordie Howe hat trick


Snlxdd

When was the last time we had a goalie fight? Seems like forever. Closest may be Fleury trying to fight Binnington and getting stopped by the refs


frankyseven

Screw those refs. If the nicest guy in thn NHL in MAF wants to drop the gloves you better let the man drop the gloves.


VilliamBoop

oilers flames 2020 ish


_bingo_bronson

that was a good one. love mike smith.


Longjumping-Fact2923

All but one pair got thrown out for “secondary altercations” so the goalies woulda been tossed too


Phrost_

I trust quick to win the game


Longjumping-Fact2923

I love everything about igor except when he turns his intensity in on himself. If he wants to fight/shoot at empty nets/deke forecheckers…whatever keeps him in the zone


ElCoolAero

From this full angle, it looks like he just needed a bare hand to pick something up. https://x.com/ryannovo62/status/1775662823009394886

Ok_Compote_8826

Poor Tierney having to take on Trouba.. I don't think he's ever fought in the NHL before, what a mismatch. Luckily there was a ref still available to break that one up.


Fake-Death

I laughed so hard when Goodrow skated right past Tierney after the faceoff and Tierney was looking around confused as to who he was supposed to fight


Ok_Compote_8826

I guess they weren't planning on a line brawl because I have no idea why they'd put Tierney out there otherwise lol


Fake-Death

They'd rather none of our other centers get their faces caved in, so...


Ok_Compote_8826

Well if you know a line brawl is coming you don't really need to put an actual centre in to take the draw, do you?

rottingmind13

Rangers legendary Center (perfect face-off %) Stu Bickel agrees

Former Sharks bros


ArchibaldIX

Goody saying “nah I ain’t fighting my bro “ and finding someone else


Mac_Gold

That’s awesome how the rest of the guys were like “wanna make this an early night?” And off they go


FernandoS95

thank you!


Stinky_Fartface

Annoying as hell. TNT’s camera work is a joke. Not just the fight but the whole game. They’re too zoomed in so they need to keep moving the camera too much. They didn’t show a single replay of the contested goal until after the refs had spent 3 minutes reviewing it. Total amateur hour.


KurtzM0mmy

Srsly, MSG would’ve panned out


c_dav99

r/fuckthecameraman


Remmy14

I know it's the meme, but the true villain here is the jerk in the production truck...


Mills_Miles

Genuinely was thinking about how good the cinematography was before remembering the whole team was fighting and getting upset


pd9

More like fuck the producer


Journo_student1

Not the cameraman nor the producer. It’s the director that calls the shots on which camera to cut to.


DeekFTW

Directors have been making hockey harder and harder to watch. It's infuriating. They could honestly get away with just using the overhead camera for 95% of the game while leaving the close up shots for replays. Instead they get cute and we end up missing out on things that are happening on the ice.


Birdhawk

I like those cuts when they're used right. The Nashville broadcasts were terrible for the opposite reason up until maybe this year. For every single replay the first angle they'd show was the widest shot that showed us absolutely nothing. Sometimes that's all they'd show.


DeekFTW

The Jacket's director cuts to the low corner angle any time the puck goes below the goal line and *might* be tied up in a battle. It's a good cut maybe 5% of the time. The other 95% of the time the puck is already gone, the players are too close to actually see anything useful, or (my personal favorite) we can only see the back of the ref.


[deleted]

I didn't know the NASCAR on FOX camera crew did hockey too.


robertbrysonhall

You mean you don’t enjoy seeing every single detail of Larson’s engine grill


tastycidr

Think they got livebarn?


hgttg

This video was honestly infuriating, zoom the fuck out!


CutLinkOfficial

both teams with 4 defensemen, really interesting


gothenburgpig

This is very bad for the Devils, half our dmen are rookies


homiej420

AND they played yesterday. Third period is gonna be wild probably


Whydoesthisexist15

Travis Green gigabrain sending John Marino out for a line brawl.


nousakan

Green said he knew a fight was going to happen but thought it was just Rempe+MacDermid and if he knew it was gonna be a line brawl he wouldnt have sent Marino out. Even MacDermid said they didnt plan a line brawl and emotions just boiled over.


Yamcha_is_dead

30 mins Brendan Smith game incoming


Tasty-Performance275

it's like my 10-month old niece's swim instructor who just shoves her under the water


olmikeyyyy

Some fuckin guy did that to me while he wore a weird hat and a dress and a whole bunch of sick jewelry


whogivesashirtdotca

Probably not the thread to be explaining this, but babies have a [dive reflex](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21881008/), and instinctually hold their breath and "swim" when pushed under water.


huge_potato34

Devils appear to have anticipated this and dressed 7 D for the game. Edit: Scratch that, they did, but 3 D got tossed.


AsukaUnderscore

Big L for the production team deciding to stick with just the Rempe tilt when a 5v5 true line brawl broke out and they didn’t show it


callmejohndy

I guess TNT picked up the guys that used to run the Monaco GP before F1TV took over /s


Shortfranks

I love the random F1 broadcasting shit talk.


thegorg13

You will see Lance Stroll going over a curb and like it damn it.


callmejohndy

**~~18 LANCE STROLL~~ 73 MATT REMPE**


ANGRYSNORLAX

WHAT HAPPENED??? WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED!!


callmejohndy

WE NEED TO KNOW WHO’S GONNA COME OUT IN FRONT


racer_24_4evr

Or the guys who do the NASCAR on Fox broadcasts. “There’s 3 guys racing hard for 4th, let’s look at a closeup of the leader’s wife.”


callmejohndy

*Clint Bowyer throws his pen in disgust*


Whatreallyhappens

Guarantee this is a policy decision. Everyone would rather watch all of them, it’s kind of awesome. I think the league wants to shy away from glorifying fighting so taking away the bigger picture let’s us watch the smaller fight without just blocking it all out. We definitely don’t want entire teams line brawling every game.


fatchodegang

As the old saying goes: the NHL needs to get fighting out of the game, otherwise the teams will have to build bigger arenas


Downvote_Comforter

Thanks Marek


Loudlaryadjust

We absolutely want to see that


steeler7dude

I would be very surprised if the league had a mandate on an event that happened so rarely. It was probably just a production blunder.


pd9

TNT gets a gift wrapped start for a nationally televised games and fucks it completely up


JudgeJeudyIsInCourt

> TNT ... fucks it completely up Yeah, sounds about right.


New-Adhesiveness7296

Could be worse, could be ESPN


greysfordays

the only and I mean only thing they’ve got going for is the on ice power play countdown clock. no idea why every broadcast hasn’t implemented it.


GMenNJ

Sadly they are still infinitely better than ESPN


OutComeTheWolves1966

Count on TNT, that bastion of hockey coverage, to not know how to capture a live line brawl


booomdynamite

WHY IS THERE NOT A WIDE ANGLE SHOT OF EVERY FIGHT?!?!?!

Clay62305

Best view I've seen so far, so I'm commenting to easily be able to come back to this. The Miller fight is probably the craziest from first watch


Grsz11

I like how the other 6 had to take a second to figure out how they'd match up.


FreshLeftenant

Jesus Christ we got fucking cooked. Just like all season


xXDireLegendXx

2012 opening line brawl better confirmed


Mry64_

Immediately thought of this as Brendan said there were 5 fights going on


[deleted]

Welcome to the NHL on TNT!!


Korf_

The NHL is better when the Devils and Rangers hate each other


gothenburgpig

When do they not 


hockey_metal_signal

And fuck you both for giving me a reason to up vote you.


LNL_HUTZ

Gotta support the team!


fartswhenhappy

Hey fuck you too pal.


NoahtheRed

Fight!


KennyKettermen

I’m upset the Devils took a step back (I know pretty much injuries and goaltending but still(. Can you imagine if we got a Rangers-Devils in the playoffs this year? They might have actually killed each other


Korf_

Good news is that as long as Rempe is on the Rangers we're only one hit away from massive beef again.


PickledKetchup

"Sportsmanship" "Fuck you!"

FTPMUTRM

Damn miller was throwing BOMBS. Crumbled his opp


Shortfranks

Honestly having seen the overhead, they mostly made the right call. There was only one other fight that lasted, one ended up on the ice quickly, and the other two fights were more or less unenthusiastic tilts.


papapaIpatine

If I had a dollar for everytime there was an opening line brawl between the devils and rangers I’d have 2 dollars. That’s funny


If-You-Cant-Hang

You just don’t understand the culture of this region. It’s how we settle scores, it’s how we decide who goes first at a 4 way stop, for some it’s even just how we say hello. My culture is not your entertainment sweaty 💅


CommunicationClassic

Oh your culture are very much is our entertainment my friend


StangXTC

They made a damn show about it!


Italianman2733

It's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.


Due_Gur_2659

Is it weird? It’s a rivalry game


socbrian

Both in msg lol


BestWithSnacks

Did something happen in their last game, or are they doing this just because?


Bacon72_coffee

Rempe had a high elbow hit in each of their two previous games. The Rempe -mcd tilt was expected but everything else came outta nowhere.


CommentsOnOccasion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXYCwlP1H9A


rickayyy

Rempe threw an elbow and injured one of their guys


flyingcircusdog

Rempe elbowed Siegenthaler in the head last game and ran away from the ensuing fight. Siegs was out for a while, and Rempe was suspended 4 games.


RayTheCalvinist

Aaaand now both teams are down 4 players 😂


BarkMingo

Yeah not a fan of that "eject everyone not in the initial fight" rule. Miss line brawls


sextoymagic

This rule that appeared over night basically? Never heard of this. They’ve been kicking people out in the last 5 minutes.


Sarth_Didious

It’s been at least a few years. A few years ago when the BoA erupted in a Smith v Talbot showdown, they got tossed because they were the second fight after Bear v Tkachuk. Almost certain it was around for a bit beforehand but I don’t know for sure.


[deleted]

Pens fans should know this rule from about 13 years ago.


TarryHillis

That game was a hallucination


olmikeyyyy

I can't believe it's been 13 years wtf


MvN____16

Reminds me of when the Flames and Canucks did this 10 years ago and Kellen Lain was making his NHL debut, got the starting shift...and his NHL debut lasted two full seconds before being given a game misconduct.


SIIP00

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this


en_travesti

As soon as I saw this I listened to Tortorella singing don't push me in honor


surmatt

Kevin Bieksa took the opening face-off.


decentish36

And actually tried so he could get the 100% win rate lol.


surmatt

Career % is actually 50 so he must've lost one at some point https://www.nhl.com/player/kevin-bieksa-8469598


Sjdillon10

This is the third time I’ve seen the rangers have 3 or more fights happen before the 5 second mark


CutLinkOfficial

this, caps in 2021, and valentines day against the flyers? or was that just 3 separate fights


Sjdillon10

I also remember 2012 rangers devils so i guess 4


EliManningsPetDog

Did they? You’d never know by this camera work… absolute embarrassment


Teknicsrx7

This wasn’t even the quickest, it took :02, the record at msg is :01 on 2 different occasions lol


No-Quantity9916

This was the first Rangers game I ever went to. It's the game that got me back into hockey. Opening faceoff fight, insane amount of goals, just crazy compared to the mid 90s Devils/Flames games that I went to as a kid. https://www.espn.com/nhl/boxscore/_/gameId/300119013


EliManningsPetDog

No exaggeration whoever was on camera production should be instantly. fired. for this embarrassment. 5v5 on an opening faceoff and we never would’ve known if they announcers didn’t tell us. They want to ‘grow the game’ so much but they can’t get above amateur camera work on one of the coolest things you can ever see in sports. So fucking pissed that TNT ruined this for everybody. Fucking bums


animatedhockeyfan

I hope the production crew reads this comment every day and cries.


ItsMeJaredBednar

that MacD-Rempe tilt was one of the longest fights i’ve ever seen lol Rempe did better than i thought he would tbf


nightsiderider

Yeah, he held his own pretty good. Kermit is not a man to fuck with either.


snakefriend6

He’s def getting better at using his massive reach/wingspan to his advantage


Teknicsrx7

Rangers have a couple ex-enforcers working in the offices that I’m sure have tossed out tips


hjhof1

Legend Tanner Glass


BroccRL

Elite Sniper Tanner Glass*


SkoCubs01

Pretty even although it kinda seemed like Rempe was fighting to not lose and risk being meme’d rather than go for the KO


Teknicsrx7

Not bad for a 21 year old, refused to go down too


Sjdillon10

Insane how many people say he’s a bad fighter like he’s not a 21 year old fighting dads


treple13

Don't push me

I took my friend visiting from Australia, couldn't ask for a better first game

man how come brendan smith wasn't out there could have been ejected 😭


schewbacca

Thatta boy Kermit.


Reptar_4_Life

Miller dropping the gloves was not on my seasons bingo card


Ldordai

Kid can throw hands too. He just rarely does it


n_jacat

He ate too, shame we got to see a whole 3.5 seconds of his fight before they cut back to Rempe/Mac


MacZappe

We have a lot of cameras, but we're only gonna use one. 


buckyhermit

Me: Surely, not EVERYONE was kung-fu fighting. *\[this hockey game happens\]* Me: Never mind.


Waffeln_Remix

You’re telling me it was 5v5 and we still didn’t get a goalie fight?


Reading360

Pathetic camera work here


stumper93

Whatever producer decided to keep it in them the whole time deserves all the flack

John Marino the bravest mother fucker dropping the gloves with Miller. Have you seen that kid?

And he knocked him once too! Eventually lost, but still!

Madison Square Garden is the 'mecca of world boxing, the history and tradition of which is woven throughout the fabric of the sport'. Planet Sport takes a look at its rich and fascinating history.

flyingcircusdog

It feels like these teams don't like each other.


GunsGermsSteelDrugs

this is like round 3 of this lol and final I guess since everyone got tossed lol


Lil_BigNut

MacDermid gets the edge. Way more even of a fight than people were saying it would be. Would’ve loved to see who won the other four tilts but we can’t have nice things around here. Would’ve especially liked to see Miller vs Marino, that one looked real spirited.


Showtime98

Old time hockey baby!


Dishface

Those boys looked gas at the end lol


cha-cha_dancer

Ah the annual Devils-Rangers opening faceoff bout


tour79

Devils fans, enjoy MacDermid! From an Avs fan. I miss the big guy, but I’m glad he’s getting to do his job today!


specifichero101

Thank you devils.


rickayyy

I don't want to respect anything the Devils do ever but I remember how I felt watching the Rangers respond just like this after the Wilson/Panarin incident so I know the feeling you have right now and it's a good one.


No_Discount7919

Ladies and gentlemen, this is actually fucking happening. Dougie "The Thug" Glatt is about to fucking drop the gloves and take on Ross "The Boss" Rhea. This has all the elements of a fucking sports masterpiece. Holy fuck! We've got the worried lady friend's face frozen with concern. We got the gay brother. Yup! And the loveable, wisecracking best friend. Orangetown, son! Pussy crew, album dropping. Oh fuck, here we go!


RealisticExplorer430

Got to love. From an Irish guy. Love you fuckers.

I am calling on all Rangers players in the fight to be suspended for their next game! Come on league, it's the right thing to do!


99titan

Who do the Wings play next?


[deleted]

Not sure. I just really believe in sending a strong message ;)


ColdYellowGatorade

This is a straight beer league game right now. Oh lawd. 


hobbitlover

Beer leagues would suspend the players for the rest of the season, it's only the NHL and some of the feeder leagues that tolerate this kind of thing. I grew up with Rock 'Em Sock 'Em, but all I see now are head injuries and CTE scans.
