yeah, he’s in trouble. even if the fan said something about his mom, he’s still in trouble.

I’m shocked the fans were escorted away from their expensive seats. That’s kinda bullsh*t.

rexblack - the guys were escorted to some other expensive seats, away from where Canucks players could reach them, I guess.

he was escorted to better seats.  I love rypien but what he did was uncalled for.  You should never touch a fan unless they initiate.

What was with Malhotra’s little bitch-jab on Staubitz after the linesmen had moved in?  Not cool.  Very not cool.

Poor ‘Nucks.  Total loss of composure out there.  Probably the only time Minnesota will score 5 goals all season so you’d better get your money’s worth, I guess.

Suspend him (Rypien) for the remainder of the season.  Suspend his coach for a few games as well for failing to control his player.

And I never thought there could be a dumber Rypien than former Redskins QB Mark… you learn something new every day I guess.

Stay classy boys. Thats a freaking disgrace of epic proportions.
Least Domi had a fan toss a beer on him in the sin bin before he yanked the beer chucker over the glass.

I think it was Rypien who did the bitch jab before the linesman moved in.  But Malhotra looks dumb now for his comments about the fan crossing the line and becoming physical with a player.  The fan was clapping.

The fan was obviously assaulting his ears with the sound of clapping.  He should have just worn a lime green body suit and been obnoxious all game. Seems Canucks should be a bit more tolerant considering what they let go on at their stadium

The commentator is all messed up. Malholtra was not on the ice, that was the 4th line, Glass, Desbiens, and Rypien. Malholtra wears 27, Rypien 37

Rypien checked Staubitz ine response to him dumping Edler. Staubitz turned around and cross checked Rypien in the head twice, I think that is why he got so hot. In addittion, the ref got physical with Rypien. Notice Vigneault pushing the ref off Rypien. I think the ref lost his cool and may get in trouble for it.

Rypien = The New Tie Domi.

LOL
