McIlrath bloodies Rempe in this season's first legit heavyweight fight!

Ladies and gentlemen, heavyweight fights are back on the NHL menu!

Well... at least for an evening.

While the NHL used to feature heavyweight bouts nearly every evening, these days it's a rare sight. There simply aren't enough legit heavyweight enforcers around the league anymore so when two come together to give us a show, well... you've just gotta appreciate it.

This evening heavyweights Dylan McIlrath and Matt Rempe came together to give us an old school heavyweight tilt!

Check it out:

A spirited bout for the big men! Advantage McIrath!
