Rick Rypien is quickly gaining a reputation, but not all NHL tough guys have yet realized the the extent of his "This Little Guy's Hands Of Stone." fighting ability.
Ok sure he is a Canuck, my favorite team, but this is un freaking real. He is the best pound for pound fighter in the NHL. Incredible balance and strength, plus throws with both hands right or left.

Fight TWO
The Flames bring up tough guy Brandon Prust from their minor league team, Brandon wants to make his mark in the NHL so he challenges "Little Ricky Rypien."
Watch how Rypien goes from Natural South-Paw to right hand shots... And the freaking upper cuts at the end of this... I love this kid's heart.
