Rempe vs Arseneau: Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots in the neutral zone.

These two men showed no care for defense as they tried to knock each other's heads off.

We have another early contender for fight of the year in the month of January.

On Saturday night we were treated to an epic battle between Matt Rempe and Vincent Arseneau during the opening moments of the game between the Providence Bruins and the Hartford Wolfpack of the American Hockey League.

Neither man showed much care for his own physical well being with both men appearing to be far more intent on dealing damage to their opponent than they were in mounting any kind of defense. In fact the whole thing looked like a game of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots in the neutral zone, something the announcer's quickly commented on during the exchange.

Given the sheer level of punishment handed out by both Rempe and Arseneau it is a bit difficult to pick out a winner, but judging by the reaction from both the broadcast booth and the fans in attendance, the fans were the real winners here.
