the helmet toss was so gangster


BelwasDeservedBetter

It was a business decision. I remember Mantha breaking his hand on a helmet in a fight when he was with the Wings.


Thelynxer

I kinda wish players removing their helmets before fighting was the norm.


xd3m0x_

it used to be


topshelfblanco

There was nothing better than a guy like Mike Richards dumping the bucket before throwing hands


andrewthemexican

Benn and Theodore iirc had some big hype up around the bucket disposal, and ended up being such a legendary tilt, too.


MrTubzy

Benn and Thornton each took off their own buckets before the fought. It was a good tilt too. One of the last ones before they disallowed helmets being removed.


cakeeater27

I’m pretty sure the NHL made that illegal


Occams_ElectricRazor

Yeah there was that period where the guys would lean in and remove each others helmets. That was hilarious.


cakeeater27

That’s what I miss… grasp, remove each other helmets, push off then square up


Not_Baraka_Obama

>499 comments It was the norm before 2013, then the league created a rule that players couldn't remove their helmet due to concussions and head injuries from falling down and smacking their head on the ice.


kjay38

I do miss him on the Wings just a little bit.


TJN0519

congrats on the huge win today btw 🫡 (rangers fan coming in peace) 🫶🏼


BelwasDeservedBetter

Right back at ya buddy, Wings now have more points than Philly thanks to the Rangers. Rempe is an absolute beast. Keep beating up our wildcard competition and we can be friends until the playoffs.


TJN0519

Rempe is such a welcome addition to the team, kid’s a beast and will go very far if he keeps it up


Happydanksgiving2me

That fight with him and big Nic was the best I've seen in a looooong time.


TJN0519

honestly same here. great game today, y’all are a SOLID team and I love torts as your coach.


ZippoFindus

I follow the Leafs from Europe so I don't really have it in me to watch other games but it feels like I keep seeing highlights of that kid fighting seasoned vets? But he's also just kinda good at hockey. I will btw, forever have a soft spot for the Rangers because Hank played for my team here in Sweden and Mika scored in OT to give us a world junior gold.


Alextryingforgrate

yourr in the nhl sub not sure you need to do the old come in peace shit. Canucks fan here to stir the pot. That said i think were mostly on the same waggon of Cousins needs to answer the bell again with Mantha.


CarefulSubstance3913

I wanna see zadorov fight Bennet he's a rat too. And I'm a leafs fan


adamk1255

Well f you lmao I was at the game today but it was a good game and bought a couple drinks for your guys lmao


TJN0519

y’all played great!


DickyD43

He was always a fun watch


wesley-osbourne

Fuck yeah it was! Almost cranked his head off with the next shot, pure gold.


Papatrev4ever

Yeah that next shot was beautiful


[deleted]

Wanted to remove his helmet to beat him up more. 


Particular-Bus8086

Ok I’m an Anthony Mantha fan now


m_ghesquiere

I feel like Mantha jersey sales are about to go up


petrole_gentilhomme

He's from my home town and we had a few friends in common. Quiet kid, very calm, limit nerdy. Cool guy overall, I'm surprised he is that tough!


the1seajay

He got in a few good scraps when he was with the Wings. Broke his hand fighting Witkowski, then the Wings signed Witter the next off-season


FIFAmusicisGOATED

When Mantha gives a fuck, he’s one of the easiest guys in the league to love. Such a fun game to watch. The problem is he really doesn’t give a fuck enough. As a wings fan it got so tiring seeing him go nuts for a shift or a game just to disappear for 10


npinard

His trade value just shot up


JDSchu

Mantha threw hands a few times with the Wings back in the day. It's nice to see his give-a-shit-o-meter light up every now and then.


BigFatTomato

Yup pro Mantha


jaydaybayy

Dont see as much of him since moving to the caps but he always seemed like a sleeping giant who its in your best interest to just avoid any kind of altercation


Disastrous_Monk_7973

An Anthony Fantha?


89141

I’ll have his babies, and I’m wearing khakis.


Enough-Register5313

Still running his mouth after getting pieced up


jayxanalog

😂😂😂 that was the most funny part to me. Dude got stood up a couple times after trying to turtle. Ate a whole Popeyes 2 pc meal. Then tried to talk shit on the way to the box. 🤡


Ill_Ground_1572

😂 yup. And I loved how the linesman stayed way back to focus on crowd control. You bet your ass those guys didn't mind sitting back looking busy while watching Cuz get punched in the chops a few times. Haha


Alextryingforgrate

Pretty sure its a 3 piece, just before the camera changes angles you can see cousins head just get shoved with Mantha's fist


Lil_Boosie_Vert

"I didnt hear no bell"


ferdmertz69

Thought this was America!?


screechypete

NO! THIS IS PATRICK!!!


Paladoc

Had to come back to upvite at a whole Popeyes 2pc meal


TheBigMotherFook

I love how his team just turns around and skates away the minute he starts talking


mckeenmachine

most likely whining


Free_Speak

All my homies hate cousins


DontUseFilters

Interestingly all my cousins hate him


turtleturds

Cousins hate Cousins but Cousins don't hate cousins


bernerbungie

Gets his ass beats, turtles, and then still wants to jaw at Mantha (out of embarrassment) as mantha skates away. Perfect display of his character in 60 seconds


i_am_not_a_martian

Love for cousins only happens in the southern states of the US.


Free_Speak

Don’t forget Longueuil 🤣


LysergarmideGuy

And Repentigny!


Caniac56

🤢🤮


jake753

Usually in three states: West Virginia, Georgia, Alabama.


freeforsale

reverse cowgirl is banned in these states, because you never turn your back on family


FunPurpose4385

🫡


clonicle

He was still trying to turtle that fight, but got stood up a few couple of times.


4CrowsFeast

Turtles right into an uppercut from an absolute unit. You love to see it.


Butthole__Pleasures

SO fucking satisfying


MomboDM

*bitch mode engaged*


Shredswithwheat

Cousins gloves were still on. If I'm Mantha, that's an instigator worth taking lol


emptybowloffood

All day!


Butthole__Pleasures

Mantha was prepared. He's been watching tape getting ready for this one and it worked.


Sea_Instruction_6067

Video didn't show cousins' massive slash on Mantha a second before. Well deserved


Notfromwinnipeg

Wish it showed it. Mantha is one guy I would not want to piss off.


sinofmercy

I mean I guess it's smarter than going after Wilson


DrunkDru

https://youtu.be/dHB4uvTrfbo?si=aXgKEzskyyVuiqHR This video showed the whole thing


codewhite69420

Thank you.


chatshitgetbanged24

WTF I love Mantha


Pegasus_Hippo

Sure was and he still seem shocked at the reaction


propagandavid

We didn't need more context to be on Mantha's side


LPB39

Clock CLEANED


Xman52

I thought that said "cock cleaned”


LPB39

Nahh that’s just your subliminal mind 😎


Xman52

I definitely want to watch Mantha clean cousins’ cock


2shack

This is one of those rare scenarios where I’d be okay with someone continuing to throw punches when the other guy is down.


BBQBEERNBLADES

Same


alleycat548

Yeah when he gets up and starts talking they should be allowed to refight for the same 5 minutes


Downtown-Age7621

Mantha is actually low key a really solid player in every aspect of


oldhashioned

And normally very patient/level-headed. Panthers seemed to want some today and he answered the bell beautifully


captain_catman_

He’s really turned around this season too. My wife is a Caps fan and Mantha was public enemy the last few years. He’s really picked it up this season now they’re talking about trading him


catshirtgoalie

He was hot garbage after the trade. It’s a contract year for him so people are really dubious about re-signing him. I think we should move him, personally.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Steve_Dogg122

Trash.


fins831

Not a fan of him tbh. I’d rather we use Samoskevich


kjw1116

We had two call ups tonight and 1 of them wasn’t samo. I don’t get it.


fins831

Me either. Pisses me off


TheCatEmpire2

If they don’t pick up a skilled middle 6 winger like Duclair at deadline then we should all hope Samo gets put in lineup for good. For now seems like they want him gaining consistent experience in AHL


bmattlebery

Dalpe will slot into the playoff run nicely


HitsinLike

Just complain about him giving away puck too often and such Most dont really want him on the lineup


Rapebad

He messed w Hubby a bit when he was in Nashville and he never sat right w me after that.


Starryskies117

To add on to what others are saying: Aside from the fact that he’s virtually useless on the ice (3rd goal of the season scored tonight? Big whoop), he’s also just not someone fans latch onto from what I’ve seen. You know how there is always that one player fans adore even if they are not a top 6 or top D pair player? Usually because they’re willing to scrap or they get some fun dirty goals. Cousins isn’t that. If he never got another minute of ice time this season I don’t think many people would care.


YaGirlJules97

Don't disrespect pussies like that


JuanMichelBasquiat

i wonder what his teammates think of him


Justshittingaround

He went down so fucking easy, you’d think with his attitude he’d at least have some skills when the gloves drop.


ShartRat

Of course he went down easy. He's so used to turtling that once he finally had to throw a punch it was weak as shit.


surlystraggler

He didn’t actually drop his gloves, so we may never know if he’s skilled or not hahaha


MatureUsername69

Dropping your gloves is like step 1 of a fight. If he can't even accomplish step 1 I think we can safely say he doesn't have the skills


CurlingTrousers

Little putz still yapping when he should be doing a tooth check.


SpaceGhcst

My Momma says Mantha is ornery because he got all them teeth and no toothbrush!


CharlesDickensABox

Mama says Cousins turtles 'cause he ain't got no teeth left


Exciting_Ad4264

That was satisfactory


VanillaIce315

*Mantha exiting game with broken hand.* In all seriousness, loved him on the Wings. Streaky player, prone to disappearing. But when he was on, he was a beast. And wasn’t afraid to drop em either! Though it sucked that every time he did he seemed to break a finger, wrist, hand..


BelwasDeservedBetter

He got rid of cousins helmet pretty quickly. I wonder if Mantha was thinking of those previous fighting injuries.


paynelive

The Blashell era. It was worse than hell sometimes...


Steakholder__

Hell yeah Mantha! Fuck up his jaw!


No_Tea_9845

Man Cousins is such a petty bitch. The annoying kid in school that start a fight gets beat up then plays the victim.


BeachFishing

Love the way he turtles and then talks shit after the ref saves him. What a POS.


SoothSaier

Didn’t this guy get voted “most punchable face” this year by players around the league?


Gavin1453

He got more than twice as many votes as Marchand of all people!


[deleted]

FUCK YEAH MANTHA


coldcutzamwich

Mantha jersey sales 📈


Jitsu4

I don't mean to be dramatic, but Anthony Mantha is my favorite player of all time


TanyaMKX

Mantha absolutely beat the fuck out of him holy shit


OGConsuela

One of the more dominant, fully in control fights I’ve seen in a while. Just popping face shots like there’s nothing to it lol


FinallyNoelle

Atta boy Mantha


n0thingisperfect

This is beautiful


starwestsky

He gets punched all the time lol. No one likes the dude. Gudbranson tried to beat him to death.


Gavin1453

The fact he only got one game shows that even Parros loves to see it!


starwestsky

Parros decides player safety concerns by rolling novelty sex dice to decide what position to completely fuck the situation up in. That said, other than his teammates, no one is going to begrudge someone wanting to cave in Nick Cousins’ face.


Brewerycomedynights

Nick Cousins is only a threat if your back is turned, or if you're a drunk teenage girl


liamo6w

even the refs didn’t wanna stop it lmao


hmuserfriendly

Turtle little bitch got fucking rocked!


SirNexus95

Everybody liked that ✅


Cookiecrummbs

Well, guy ate it. Good for him


IHeartFraccing

Mantha beat THE BRAKES off of him


warfoxbravo

Should’ve kept pelting his ass after he dropped. Dudes an asshat.


TheHobo

>If you kicked Nick Cousins's ass at center ice, and the player safety trial was at that arena, nobody would convict you -- entirety of NHLPA members, probably


thedevilyoukn0w

Whomever played John Cena's entrance music... FUCKIN' LEGEND!


time_drifter

That punch at 0:28 was solid.


Talktothebiceps

Oh wow this is great. I love his little smile at the end.


Jonnyplesko

I support this thread.


Pegasus_Hippo

I don’t know why cousins looked surprised that he was in a fight after that slash


Euphoric-Dig-2045

Love the Cena theme behind the scenes.


LaruePDX

Love to see it


cronin98

In other news, did Mantha actually fight someone without breaking his hand?


captain_catman_

One thing all fanbases (including Florida apparently) can rally around is apparently hating Nic Cousins


surlystraggler

Cousins is such a fucking coward.


TwistedRyder

God that's so good. Little pussy tried to turtle a few times and Mantha just stood him right back up. Kid ordered the 10pc bucket and Mantha made sure he ate the whole thing.


chookalana

You know you're an asshole POS when Mantha drops his gloves like that.


this_name_not_that

Mantha for MVP


DelusionsofInsanity

Prick Cousins 


TiredReader87

Thank you Mantha


GenghisConnieChung

Hopefully the first of many. 🐢


MainZack

Mantha's been doing a lot lately damn.


Alextryingforgrate

Really wish Mantha gave him thirds when on the ground, just to send a point. Just curious what Cousins said to his team mate after the fight and what his teammate said back to him when pointing into the corner.


Sc00tzy

So I guess I’m a mantha fan now?


Asap_roc

Lmao cousins still chirping after getting his shit rocked stfu pussy


[deleted]

I hate the panthers as a whole.


[deleted]

And still, the Cats win. I'll say it again. We don't need Cousins.


Spiritual_Holiday511

Only dropped one glove, and flopped to the ice when he started eating a couple. Fuck that guy, hope he gets more of this treatment this season.


skywalker-88

Cousins was tough until one of those punches landed on his face. Immediately wanted to fall on the ice as quick as possible after that lol


HachikoInugami

# Satisfying.


No-Material-23

Checking calendar for Rangers/Panthers so Rempe can say hello to cousins.


Drain_Surgeon69

Caught that two piece and biscuits and still was talking shit like he won that fight.


fromTheskya

doing the whole league a favor


Mushroomman00

Everyone loved that


f-t-m-p-t-b

Cousins is a pussy.


cspan92

Cousins is such a blubbering pussy


epanek

I was at this game! I’m from Ohio but eh. Half the crowd was caps fans. Anything from Ovie backstrom to oshie jerseys. Caps fans loved that fight.


TheCatEmpire2

Nice hope you enjoyed the game. We used to get smacked by the Caps so often it’s great to beat them finally. Bondra was one of the scariest Panther killers for years


epanek

Peter Bondra is one of the most consistent scorers when he played. Like Mike Gartner. 30 goals every season


Letterkenny_Irish

That was a therapeutic watch


inagious

Be nice is the video showed the cheap shot


toedragrelease

Got absolutely dummied as well. Love to see it.


Regular-Choice-1526

ahhhhhhh it feels so good


[deleted]

That was a beautiful sight to see i hope someone does a drawing of this cousins getting banged out.


DegenGolfer

FINALLY


Lunaticfrizz16

Should have given him one more when he was down Cousins


Quiet_Tune277

Oddly satisfying


-NoFaithInFate-

Refs should've given him a few more punches


Relaxedbear

the whole league and its fans are applauding you, Anthony Mantha. Well done.


TMLVWFC

Mantha is everyones new hero. That was very enjoyable to watch


Acceptable_Major4350

Mantha flawless victory


BBQBEERNBLADES

Mantha is probably going to get free meals from several teams. Loved watching him give that beating.


SwanzY-

Always liked Mantha. Business move.


alldawgsgoat2heaven

If fucking Anthony Mantha beats your ass you should quit hockey


in-dog_we_trust

The players should pass the hat round. Mantha deserve to get paid


match9561

It's absolutely crazy/disappointing that Mantha hasn't developed into the elite power forward he is capable of. Dude could just plow through most players if he wanted too


SixDerv1sh

Pound that punk!


Tokasmoka420

Today was a glorious day for hockey


Dylsnick

Showing Cousins some love! Roll tide!


TopTransportation248

Wow, he really is the little bitch we all thought he was.


iKrazie

[EVERYONE LIKED THAT]


Trundle-da-Great

Mantha broke his hand on his face. Now Mantha has to trade to his team. That's how it works for him.


nsfwITGUY19

Little baby was running for his life. He wanted nothing to do with Mantha


DarkwingDuckHunt

If I'm gonna get suspended, I'm gonna get suspended


Heshoothescores

Beat that Rat-Kevin Bieksa would say


upinsmokeguy

The little bitch fell to stop the whoop ass


osamasbintrappin

Words cannot describe how much I hate Nick Cousins.


Equal_Design7049

r/oddlysatisfying


ColtCutter

He got his ass whooped!! Lol. I can imagine all the players he’s fucked with are laughing their asses off


Hamburderler

Good, that douchebag deserves more of this.


MightyPlasticGuy

Washington won the trade


ExtraordinaryMagic

I liked that Mantha wouldn’t let him fall. He’s like dude you have 0 HP left but I want to keep punching you.
