Didn't see that angle of Rempe's punch to Sigenthaler. Wow. Right in the kisser.
Yeah he definitely got him good.That's what you get for challenging someone twice your size. 😁
Still gotta give him credit for actually standing up to him@@billb.5183
That’s what you get for challenging a guy without even dropping your gloves.
@@franflanagan7300 this ^
No room in the league for players like this, unless they bring him to the flyers😈
Rangers honestly haven’t had a player come up through the minors and start racking up PIMS like this since Troy Mallette!
you are just reveling in anticipation of the injuries this boob is going to inflict. zip up, willya ?
@@Mike___Honchoyou’re jealous he ain’t gonna smack you around a little bit you kinky sexual deviant you 😂😂😂
Love it
It’s been two games
@@setlaxsoccer77 Yea - and Mallette barely played any games for the Rangers but holds the single season PIM record for the organization
When the announcer referring to him as "a hard nose player". No pun intended.
Are you doing stand-up at the Holiday Inn this weekend???
6’7 and 240 lbs. Holy cow
That's scary on skates holy wah
Nathan Bastian is 6′4″. He looked like a midget next to this gentle giant.
@@kingkreole9121 nhl height and weight are so inaccurate a lot of times
@@shaunfleury the next boogaard almost he is litteraly just 11kg lighter then the 265-275lbs/120-125 kg boogaard jesus christ 😅
@@kingkreole9121gentle? He literally said in an interview he likes fighting lol
1:06 I don't know why but i laughed at the way the Goalie just casually skated by his teammate who's lying on the ice in pain lol
hahahha
Same
Ha he gave him a head turn
“Get up bitch”- Daws
Delayed penalty. Goalie was skating off for the extra man, the whistle hadn't been blown yet on that replay. If goalie stopped they could've gotten a penalty for too many men on the ice so that's why he had to continue to the bench and not stop.
Imagine theres a 6 foot 7 guy and youre going to fight him lol Siegenthaler 😅
Haha. 6'8½" lol
Rempe absolutely rocked his world too lol
@@fuddrucker74 NHL has him at 6' 7".
@@Milehighsnake98 Yeah but with skates he's almost 6'9 lol
@@gavinallen540 And? With skates, Bastian is about 6' 7. They are about 3" apart.
Damn! Rempe broke 2 faces in less than 8 seconds!
He will break a few more! I'm sure.! The Rangers have some tough guys in their lineup. Take a Look back at all the other Stanley cup-winning teams. The majority of them had 2-3 tough guys.In there lineups .

We can all see Rempe isn't on the team for his hockey IQ.
Waah! Keep your head up.
Ha, ha, ha. 😭
JEALOUS 😭😭😭😭😭
He is 6'5. A clean hit on anyone and he will make head contact. Keep your head up. It wasn't a dirty hit. There is a still of the the impact elbow and shoulder were in.
@@cerscil6’7
no other player have made an impression on me so fast in 2 games as this Rempe kid holy shit
You think hitting a guy in the head is great? That kind of shit doesn't belong in the game.
Preface: Not a fan of either team
100% agree.
Want to make a name for yourself early?
Lay someone out and then one-punch drop a guy who came in to defend his teammate?
Others teams see this.
And now he's gonna be sitting for a few games.
@@Milehighsnake98he shouldn’t have even got kicked out of this one, players need to be held accountable for leaving themselves in vulnerable positions keep your head up when a 6’8 monster is coming up the boards, but this league is a joke so wouldn’t be surprised if he’s suspended
@@christianseibert9953 He absolutely deserved to be kicked out. It has nothing to do with "keep your head up". How about "don't target people's heads" instead? Also, he's 6' 7", Bastian is 6' 4". It's a 3" difference. Not that drastic. Stop pretending this was anything but a suspendable, dirty hit. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but it was still dirty.
This is a tough one for me. On the one hand, 6'7" Rempe should be allowed to deliver a body check like everyone else. That's how hockey works. However, the principal point of contact is clearly Bastian's head. With what we now know about brain injuries, I just cannot accept the idea that a very tall person can hit someone directly in the head and be free and clear. As a hockey fan, I am very comfortable with body hits and also fighting. But I don't want the sport to include direct hits to an opponent's head. I think this type of hit should be a severe penalty. No hits directly to the head. Ever.
I agree
Then take hitting out of it.
Its impossible to stop a head hit with the speed of the game and the height difference of some players
The worst part is that he leads with the elbow. You can see if you stop it during the replay that the elbow is out and it makes contact with the jaw. I think the hit could’ve been given a bit better and a less than vulnerable position
@@MrHunterbg Easy to say sitting on your fat ass
@@evictioncarpentry2628 not impossible to stop this one. he had him lined up from the next county.
With Rempe, Rangers look like a football team!
And Edstrom!
Well he did make his debut at a football stadium!
Size, speed, scoring, defense, goaltending.....sounds like all the pieces
@ceedub619cameraman3 😂😂😂😂😂 them tears of yours are salty. Making my blood pressure go up just reading this comment
They have another guy in the minors who’s 6-8
It looked like he kept his shoulder tucked but made contact to the head cause of how friggin tall he is.
that doesn't matter obvious charging against Bastian
@@TheCapo1970 I thought that was going to be the call tbh. He even took an extra stride as it became clear it was going to (at minimum) be a blindside hit. Dirty play.
My thoughts exactly. I think the hit to the head was more accidental than anything else.
I mean he forearms him directly in the face lol
Lmao hockey is so fucking soft now, buddy had his head down, and rempe is tall, that was clean all day yall just pussys
Clearly Bastian isn't a hard nosed player, his nose got broken.
Your mom is hard nosed
Beat me to the snark on that comment by the commentator lol
Bastian is a crybaby.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Bastian is 6'4" but was 5'7" at the point of contact. That in essence was the problem. I do believe the major was warranted due to the head contact. I'm of the opinion that Remkpe knew Bastian was in a vulnerable position a split second before the contact. He was still 15 feet away from him when Bastian lost his balance. That's enough time to see, but Rempke had committed to the contact so I don't see him purposely avoiding Bastian there. What the heck was the devil's training staff thinking allowing Nathan out to start the second period. Once his adrenaline started going down after the Trouba fight, it looked like he was ready to die.
Finally someone who gets it - ive been getting roasted for saying there was head contact first - as leafs fan i wish we had that ranger kid , luv em but if he full on bodys him id have nooooo problem with it - big guy on small guy ohhh well cuz size does matter 😉
6 ft 7!
Not the essence of the problem. The problem is Rempe going straight into his head when he could have avoided it. Rempe is a goon.
@@mikehofer432 💯%
I will admit it was possible, just like it was possible he had already committed to the hit. Only Remke can answer that question.@@mikehofer432
Announcer says "he's a hard nose player" while Bastians face is on camera with a nose broke to pieces haha
Insult to injury.
Dude literally copied the top comment from 10hrs before him what a loser

At that moment I was thinking, "No, he's a bloody-nose player."

just proves the need of an enforcer or 2 on your team.
He just runs away
Dear Devils,
Find your Scott Stevens 2.0.
Very Respectfully,
A fan
But not a rapist
They need a goalie first.
Two games vs the Rangers, two guys hurt by cheap shots. Devils definitely need a guy who can get retribution, Rangers are clearly OK with dirty play because they know there’s no consequences (in part because Dept of Player Safety in the NHL is a sad joke).
@@MrCusefan44you're not a cup contending team in the NHL if you don't play dirty.
I absolutely love rempe.
I don’t think he was trying to hit him like that it just ended up that way. It’s unfortunate but hockey is a very fast sport.
@shawnsullivan3893 as a hockey player I can say it was definitely intentional...he's leading with his elbow and did the same thing against the devil's a few weeks later
This would motivate the devils to still take 58 minutes to score to cut the final to 5-1... hope Bastians okay but that's sad
I predict this Matt Rempe giant is going to be a huge threat for several years. Can't wait till he clashes with other heavyweights! As a Habs fan I wonder what would happen if he and Arber Xhekaj would meet. Matt Martin looked like he was holding on to dear life the other night and he has seen his fair amount of fights... and now this! This kid titan is making his name known in 2024! Bring back tougher hockey!
and severe injuries! and major concussions! and possible deaths, because players are far faster and stronger than ever! yeah! old school!
@@yojlik They know the risks and get paid millions to do it. What's the big deal?
@@TheFlamingPike brilliant
@@yojlikyou’re weak
@yojlik please quit being a hockey fan. Hockey is built for men and the statistics of head hunting and stars getting injured are higher in the last 10 years? Why? No accountability. Marchand and Wilson wouldn't be allowed to to cheap shot people and jeopardize careers the last decade if we let people commit a couple assault and batteries on the ice directed on them. You can't argue this.
Bastian lost all his lunch money in this one
And then he got smashed again by Trouba later in the same game 😂
@@timetowakeup6302Poor guy was like a rag doll after Trouba
@@timetowakeup6302 seems like a reckless player not protecting himself.
And then got laid out by the trouba train
when you hit someone with your stick in the face, even if it's unintentional it's 4 minutes. if you hit someone in the head even if it's unintentional it should be 5 minutes and a game. these guys skate up to 30 mph and size should not be an excuse.
i fucking love rempe already
Injuries like that will happen to anyone when you get hit by someone that big
This is what's making ice hockey horrible. They should respect each other. Rempe is making enemies.
Didnt seem like a malicious hit, just bad timing for Bastian.
ahh Yeah it was charging penalty no debating.
REMPE just what the rangers needed!!
To get ousted in the 1st round again lmfao
@aaronzNJD not by the devils...lol devils wont even make the playoffs...lol
@@brooklynknightss Yeah the rangers wouldn't make the playoffs either if Fox was out the whole year and Panarin spent significant time injured.
Enjoy your one year on top while the rest of the division has their entire team injured lol
@@aaronzNJDfox, shesterkin, Chytil, kakko, wheeler, those are just a few off the top of my head that have missed significant time this season. Every team deals with injuries it’s not an excuse to use especially when talking about the rangers, and it took fox and Igor at least 10 games after coming back from injury to actually look like themselves
@@christianseibert9953Not even close to the same amount of time dude.
Oh no, the fourth liners on the Rangers missed a few games. What a struggle they've managed to combat their way through.
Fox and Shesterkin are the only injuries there that "mattered". Wheeler missed like 3 games, I looked. Both Shesterkin and Fox missed less time than any of the Devils players that got hurt. The entire time you still had your top line together and the majority of the D core.
Of the Devils players that missed 10+ games, they are the top two centers, top line winger, and the top 2 D man.
Literally every single one missed more games than Fox or Shesterkin did too.

Okay so if you put your head down and stare at the puck, nobody over 6' tall can hit you?? Keep your head up! Just because it was nasty, doesn't mean it was dirty.
@tylerc1932 bro are you stupid? He literally leading with his elbow lined up to the guys face...please try and use either of your braincells before voicing your opinion
Ranger fans used to cry their eyes out when Big Bad Dave Brown was wrecking their players. 😂😂😂😂
keep your head up

Greatest 3 second shift ever

Love it ... KEEP YOUR HEAD UP
GOOD THING THE RANGERS SIGNED THIS GUY!! HE RRALLY HELPED THE TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!!
Holy fuck how was this not a multi game suspension
Agreed
..and then Siegenthaler eats a right. lmao
Not a Rangers fan but that's a bullshit call. The guy is 6'7 and had bent himself over before he made contact. WTF do you want him to do? Slide into opponents on his knees to avoid potential head contact? The lesson here is keep you fucking head up. To many players have relied on this call to get away with keeping there head down, knowing that guys wont take the chance hitting them. Just another reason why the game has become soft. In my eyes this was a beauty hit.
Totally agree his arms were down he doesn't charge or jump into him it looked like a good solid hit. NHL has gotten really soft with the rules for head contact and concussions so everytime there's a big hit this crap happens its ridiculous
Amazing a veteran clean defenceman in Reilly gets 5 games for a cross check (where his stick came out of his hands aka he let go when he realized where he hit him to lower impact and not injure the player) Rempe has 10 games, 5 injuries and 5 fights responding to questionable hits.
Reilly doesn't injure anyone for 10 years, gets up high once and gets 5 games lol.
Get this guy under control before he puts someone in a coma. He's a rookie playing the brand of hockey the league says they don't want but clearly it's getting views so they won't care I guess.
Parts of me love watching it but parts of me wonder what a hit like that on Bedard would look like for his health.... Imagine taking that guy out of the league with a hit from a 6'7 psycho path that'll never leave a mark on hockey other than injuring people and getting beat up by real fighters.
It'll get worse come playoffs....
Should been McLeod
I’m an NJ fan and think this shouldn’t be a match penalty.
Agreed, in box for 2.
I feel guilty that im sad i dont get to see jb or rempe in hartford any more.
The problem here is that he leads with his elbow. I know he’s a giant, but if you pause it at just the right time you can see the elbow right to the jaw. Also comes quite a far ways to make that hit. Bastian was in quite a vulnerable position. I think it was the right call (not a Devils fan)
There’s no elbow involved whatsoever. His elbow was tucked in the entire time. It was a shoulder hit that hit the head but went through the body. If the kid had his head up and Bastian was upright, different story.
I think you need to watch the video again.
@@speedball10169 Whenever there's already a puck battle, the third guy coming in needs to be extra careful. Bastian had one guy chasing him right on his back and he was concentrating on getting the puck away from him.
Had Bastian been on his own, yeah, gotta keep awareness.
@@speedball10169 IF. AND. Except he wasn't upright and he didn't have his head up.
@@speedball10169 Get a bigger tv or glasses big guy
So stupid to throw him out for this
@ceedub619cameraman3Nope. Not even a hearing.
It's an automatic ejection for hits like this. Ref had no choice.
@ceedub619cameraman3 The suspensions are pretty much random in the NHL.
@ceedub619cameraman3 You need to stop watching the sport. Opinions such as yours are dangerous to the sport itself. Pussifying the sport. Go watch twitch streamers, beta cuck
Rempe is going to have this problem a lot. He’s so tall it’s hard not to hit these little dudes high. I feel a little bad for the guy. He’s just trying to play tough hockey, which I like
Bastian got laid out by trouba
Just became fan of this guy! Be watching more ranger games now!

He just skated through.
He clearly lifted his elbow. Not clean.
Brendan Dillon of the Jets got a three game suspension for the same type of hit.
@@dl4189what? He raised his shoulder prepping for the hit. Raising the elbow is taking the elbow up to lead with it for the hit. Which he did not do.
No he elbowed him and broke his nose. Almost took his eye out. Ide give him ten games to think about it. Hes dirty
@@pvb876287
I think you should call your optometrist in the morning
Where was the infraction? No elbow, no jump, just a tall guy hitting a short guy
Head is the primary point of contact. Doesn’t matter
You don’t understand the rule. Primary point of contact does not mean any contact or even initial contact. It means the intended contact. That’s not what o saw he was not targeting the head. Seems like the DoPS saw it that way as well.
Are you forgetting his head was down and he was bent over. There wasn’t any intent of maliciousness here.
@@rhythmindset6996 yea, thats not the rule. Putting your head down does not shield you from being hit.
@@rhythmindset6996 wow you delusional it was clearly charging directly at Bastian & no intent maliciousness blind bat much?
There's a 6'7" guy barreling down on you. Why would you duck as low as the height of the dasher? Ducking to get a call should be an automatic unsportsmanlike penalty.
Hate to see players getting hurt like that... Bastian's head was low but Rempe made no attempt to avoid hitting his head either...
That Rempe dude seems unhinged, belongs to a NHL era which is long gone and so should he. (Not judging from this video alone, he's just a pure goon and that's not a thing anymore.)
Nice hit. I did watch hockey in the 70s to 90s.
70s and 80s were trash eras of hockey anyways. 90s were filled with "enforcers" with trash hockey skills.
Thank god we moved on. Get this kind of garbage out of the game. Unless we want to go back to the enforcer era of hockey - where there's someone on the ice at all times that sucks at hockey but can throw a hit/punch. Big fucking deal.
As a kid from NY I loved #22 for the blues hints. Nick didn't fear ANYONE!!
Blue hints? Nic who
Fotiu. Dude was tough.
When you think about it kind of a suicide pass by Daws to Bastian. When the puck doesn’t get to a player on a breakout cleanly shit happens.
Dirty hit, Rempe threw his elbow out. Not cool dude.
Rempe - The Terminator!
Welcome to the Rangers! Love it!
Ive read numerous reasons why fighting might be making a comeback, relative to the game and rules and so forth. But part of me has to wonder if there is any incentive for the NHL to slowly allow it to come back because that is part of what the fans want. Hockey may be safer without fighting but it certainly is not as entertaining. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and saw a lot of fighting in the minors and majors and sometimes I wonder whether all the crackdowns actually negatively impacted hockey's interest levels. Not to mention the fact that fighting existed because guys were going after the star players and they needed to stick up for them lest they lose them to injuries. Avid fan and former player here myself. I don't think fighting came out of a vacuum. I get why they came down on fighting what with how it caused issues for the enforcers, and I also get why it would easily see a comeback. Just a thought. And I'm not too surprised to see a kid like Rempe with these stats because I think it's been coming.
In a league without real fighters, the kid who can fight is now the king.
@@oscarwinner2034 ain't that the truth.
We need coach chippy to review this
I love how Bastian comes back later in the game and gets hammered again by Trouba
Dirty hit deliberately throws elbow on a fly by ! 5 games minimum what has to happen before the NHL start enforcing these deliberate hits? A player getting is neck broke? Etc
The New Jersey player was knocked into the next beyond…unceremoniously to be sure!
At 6'7" anyone (90% of the nhl) he hits with his shoulders is going to get hit in the head.
Clean hit. Other teams are lucky their other 6.8 call up Edstrom is more peaceful.

@@truenorth1355this Mike Scott guy is so tough I bet he’d do well out there on the ice
@@truenorth1355 the league needs players aware of their surroundings at all times.
I don't think Rempe should be allowed to check at all, he's too big. Just send him out to fight. He didn't use his elbow here and the small devil player exploded on impact. Remember when Scott Stevens did that to Eric Lindros but somehow that check was legal. NHL a funny circus show. Let's see what Parrot in the league's office squaks from his bird cage today.
Yes, 20 years ago. I think, but i could be wrong, a few times have changed since then. For the better, so guys can live happily after hockey.
Kjell Samuelson style
Stevens, in the finals vs. Detroit laid a big hit on a Red Wing, and as Stevens skated by the Detroit bench, yelled to the whole bench, "You're next." Lol
@lawrenceehrbar8667 i believe he was standing near the Devils bench, staring down the Red Wings bench while they scraped Kozlov off the ice. That's when the cameras picked him eyeing his next targets. The intimidation that man had was incredible. Not only because he laid people out, he was a stellar, lock down defenseman with great skill.
Rempe is a fucking monster of a human. Trouba must be teaching him how to hit like him.
yeah one loser to another some goon role model

Definite head contact but with Bastian going down like he was, how would one avoid head contact?
Even without the head contact that's 2 for charging. He took one last stride when the guy's back was turned. Increasing your speed as you line up a blindside hit, combined with his imposing size are what make this a dirty play.
Are you fckin kidding me? 🤣
Bastian played hockey, Rempe charged and only Bastian's head get hit. Dirty play
@@topias2880 Didn't see a charge as he never left his feet.
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! Listen to Don Cherry kids
I get it was kind of a dirty hit. But the NHL needs more players like Rempe. I personally like the kid. And there should be more guys in the league that Rempe needs to answer to. And guys like him are fine with that. That’s the way it used to be. The game self-policed itself. You wanna take a run at a guy be prepared to answer the bell. There would fewer guys who can’t, and won’t fight dishing out dangerous, nasty hits if they new they were going to have to answer the bell. Also, keep your head up.
Rempe is a wrecking machine. Takes one out with a hit and another 2 seconds later with a single punch.
Clean hit
Face hit the bicep. Shoulder pad might have clipped the helmet.
Maybe Shoulder Pads should be soft instead of hard shell. And wear pillows instead of helmets 😂
his nose shattered u dingleberry
Calling a major penalty to review the single incident in question is fine. But calling a major to review all possible penalties is an abuse of the power.😊
Clean hit. Keep your head up.
Teams need to fear a Stanley Cup contender. Keep your head up on the boards. This is hockey.
lmao Rags contender how many cup finals you sucked ass plus it was a clear charging by Kempe on Bastian
I bet Rempe will have the most fights in NHL history
That’s a tall order. The NHL is nowhere near the same as it was decades ago. He’ll maybe lead the league in fights for a season.
He will have CTE before too long.
Announcers think an elbow is a shoulder...homers
Wow that face at 1:09 .. crazy how much a game can change.
clean hit, keep your head up
This kid is already a physical menace and it's only a few games in. Reminds me of when the Boogeyman came into the league, huge kid who's looking to go with all the league's tough guys. Guys are gonna lose sleep the night before they play against him.
This needed to be done to tell these guys “this league might be “men”, but I’m not scared of man”
Anyone notice how Bastian ran into Rempe’s elbow?
It was a bad call, idiot refs called the result, not the actual hit, which was not high... Bastian should keep his head up
No way this is a match penalty. It’s a stretch for a major but Toronto and all the canucks hate the Rangers.
Was it not head contact?
Hardly, but he was skating with his head down into a guy who's 6' 7". He did his best to avoid his head imo
It’s a good thing ur not an official.
@@AstoundLikesWoW
a- the puck carrier doesn't skate into people, they skate away / around
b- the player attempting to hit skates into people, therefore it's on them to be aware
c- any player 6'7" needs to be aware of where they will be making contact with the other player
d- he did make contact with the head.
@@AstoundLikesWoW Rempe did nothing to avoid it. In fact, he had almost 75 feet of ice to cover before making that dirty hit to avoid it.
Height difference is always gonna be a problem with this guy, tuck that wing in . Not the most egregious elbow, but physics took over there.
It was tucked
His arm was tucked, it doesn't get any more tucked than that, Height doesn't matter as the devil is bent over and his head is the first thing anyone would have hit, even short guys like Theoron Fluery or Martin St. Louis. Only way to avoid this would have been avoid the hit altogether.
@Coexist-ph2ye your absolutely right , the more I watched it he couldn't tuck it any more
@@Coexist-ph2ye"I saw he was in a vulnerable position but I figured I'd skate in from a distance and elbow him right in the head anyway" yeah makes sense 👎👎👎👎
I’ve played for 50 years. It was a clean hit. Rempe is just really tall and Bastien had his head down. Rempe was just skating thru. BS call and I’m not a Rangers fan
exactly. And full speed you see how there was nothing Rempe could do to stop the hit and Bastian bent forward. A split second sooner and that is shoulder to chest. Attempt at a clean hit.
Ahahahahahah boomer trash
