i swear to Christ, this kid is his own worst enemy. I don't know why they call him up when the team is such a state. The role he fills is useless to the Rangers right now. He nearly cost the Rangers the game with that hit and it's a stupid unsafe hit deserving of a suspension especially given the past hits he's been disciplined for. Send him back down to Hartford and don't call him up the rest of the season, and bench Mika and Kreider while you're at it. Both of them are an anchor around this lockerroom and they need to make room for players who are ready and willing to do the work that a leadership core is supposed to take on.
I disagree, the Rangers play dramatically better when he is in the lineup. The team still has the ability to be one of the best in the leagues they just have a fucking effort issue. When Rempe plays, they play too.
@WizradtheNoble If the veterans on the Rangers need an AHLer who can barely play hockey in order to motivate them, then they're more cooked than we thought.
@owlknite: sums it up pretty accurately. Not sure why some are so enamored with this guy. He’s not good at all. He could be but instead steers himself toward the play/attention that isn’t sustainable.
and left his feet to deliver it. Boarding, checking from behind, elbowing, and leaving his feet and the refs only called the elbow...... effin BS man. That one hit shouldve been 4x5 minute majors.
I think the rempe experiment needs to come to an end. Yes, he brings the Rangers good energy - but at what cost? This guy might actually end up hurting someone. Yes I'd say the same thing if he was on my team.
He needs to develop more and he should be moved to be a d-man. Being a physical forward while being that big is going to cause those mismatch hits. Having him skate backwards and learn to seal off guys with his size would be more useful and he can be more in control of his hits. Use Chara as a model on how to make big guys useful in today's NHL.
Although he's not on the same level as Nazem Kadri, this is the exact reason why Toronto traded Kadri. Kadri was a good goalscorer, brought energy, and wasn't afraid to drop the gloves. However... he would lose his temper at the wrong time (the playoffs) and get suspended when they needed him most. As you said, Rempe brings good energy and his toughness can't be questioned, but he needs to smarten up. If he actually thought about what he does on the ice, he might be able be a decent fourth-line checking option.
He has actually hurt someone. Two Devil players. Ppl say how his height blah blah. Someone needs to teach him how to use his size and make legal plays.
I feel really bad for the Sabres (also find it really funny that my phone tried to autocorrect "Sabres" to "sadness"). But I am very happy that my Sharks no longer have the longest losing steak on the year.
As a Sabres fan, I'm kinda just numb at this point. Remembering the Sabre glory days during the late 90's and the 2000's is about all you can do at this point.
Rempe should get a half season honestly. He keeps doing things like this. Send a message that attempts to sideline a player for weeks will do exactly that- except to you, not them. People dont realize that concussions do not ever go away. The symptoms lessen but every concussion you get makes the next one worse, they are compounding. I had many partially due to a brain tumor and its to the point I cannot even lightly head a soccer ball or I will have post concussion symptoms for days. Severe bumps while driving farm equipment do it too. Letting guys get away with blatant shots to the head is something that should be discouraged in the strongest possible terms.
My take on Rempe is when will the Rangers be punished for continuing to play him when this is what he just seems to do. Sure. Suspensions hurt the player but the org has a responsibility after a certain point.
@@frankt285yeah but that’s 50 years ago my man. Safety and medical research globally not just in hockey has grown astronomically since the 1970s. Players didn’t even wear helmets back then man 😂
@ I wasn’t alive in the 70s. These hits clearly aren’t what the nhl wants in the “new golden era” but they just keep suspending players and not the teams enabling them to play. Hard hits in hockey should and will always exist but flagarant ones like this have been pushed out over the years.
They need to send him to the minors and convert him to a d-man. Most of those hits are while on the forcheck, if he skating back on d and sealing guys off those hits won't happen.
This is why I come here, No bull just unbiased facts. Shannon does his research and excels at coverage of the games as well as the news. I used to surf around trying to find the info needed but have discovered that if you wait 5 minutes it will be here. Fast and accurate. Thank you Sir.
It will take Rempe seriously hurting someone for the hammer to be dropped. Even if he gets 8 games, he'll still come back and to the exact some nonsense that he's been doing for his whole 'career". The problem is, he's not a smart hockey player. He might be a good fighter. Thats great. But he knows that he's only going to get 5 minutes of ice time a game so of course when he's out there this is going to be what he does. He doesnt know how to pick his spots or even how to properly hit. To line someone up while he's against the boards and go in with a flying elbow is just top of the level douchbaggary.
It’s the only thing he can do. He has little in the way of hockey skills. He’s very appealing to Neanderthal fans who think seeing an opposing player stretchered off the ice makes for a good game. Lavi showering him with praise after that assault and thinks that this kind of play will somehow rouse the Rags out of their funk, shows me that he needs to go also.
How much more is it gonna take for Rempe to get banned from the league? This happens like every 5-10 games that he plays. He's going to end someone's career someday.
With regards to the Vanecek injury, sometimes backup goalies are told to track different things (faceoffs, shots, zone entries, etc) to keep them engaged in the game in case they have to go in. Of course that can lead to situations like this one where you're not looking up when the puck deflects onto the bench. I don't know if that was the situation here, just a potential explanation.
I'm so happy for Laine, with a tough time last year and his injury in the preseason, this must be a relief for him. I wish him so much success. He is a super nice guy, the fans here love him.
I feel like the NHL needs to really drop the hammer on Rempe. Cause maybe I’m bias because I’m a devils fan but a lot of these hits look like he’s trying to injure. Like last night he’s 6’9 why is he leaving his feet to hit a guy and then he hits him in the head with his elbow
As a Devils fan, the only way I see this kid will have success is going back to the minors and converting to a dman. All these hits are while on the forcheck, if he has to skate back on d those hits won't happen. IDK why he is a forward his size, that's just to big and we know big guys can play in the league but on D like Chara and eventually Silayev( who has more pro experience than Rempe since he plays in the KHL consistently).
I don't think your biased in this one. Anyone looking at this hit sees an idiotic, illegal elbow to the back of the head. Rempe is a repeat offender and he seems like he just doesn't give a damn who he hurts. 20+ games and a maximum fine sounds like a fair price and hopefully he finally learns something in the process
Having personally lived through two horrific episodes of concussion rehab, I have absolutely no tolerance for players like Rempe. I'd recommend a lifetime suspension, but guess it'll be 8 games or so. Predicting he'll come back in February and end some innocent opponent's career..
They should just ban Rempe for good. He is clearly demented already. Dude gets back to NHL and goes check to the neck of someone like Heiskanen... Would be bad anyone, but it is not made better he targets the golden boy of the franchise.
Love the podcast. Please consider doing a hockey 101 breakdown of a game every now and then. The teams styles/game, discuss basic terms, adjustments, set plays, all that stuff… I love hockey but didn’t grow up playing or anything and maybe it would be good
McDavid was hurt most of last season. Some kind of nasty deep bruise to the ribs. It completely changed his style and took away most of his ability to shoot the puck. He adjusted and went all in with his playmaking and ended up with 100 assists and broke Wayne Gretzkys playoff assists record. Matthews I consider on that level of ultra elite player. Even hurt, he can make adjustments to still be elite. It will be different though. He may not score 70, but the leafs are better with him, especially if playing doesn’t aggravate the injury.
He leans into goalscoring so much that his play may hurt way more than McDavid's. Especially in the playoffs where everyone gets hurt due to hard hitting.
Rempe, in one hit, boarded, elbowed, checked from behind, and left his feet in doing so. If the NHL doesnt suspend him then it's a BS Department of Player Safety. I'll call it ten games. The NHL HAS to look at it like "You want to turn somebody into a quadraplegic because you cant control your enthusiasm? Not in our league." Rempe could break somebody's neck with a hit like that and then the leagues insurance gets into it........ and then it gets serious. If it was Tom Wilson he would probably get 20+ games suspension, because of prior history. Rempe has been ejected 4 times in his 22 NHL appearances. That's a terrible ratio and shows a tendancy towards dirty play. The NHL has to respond in kind.
I’m getting really tired of watching Rempe get away with this crap. I understand that this is old school hit him hard type of play that gets him minutes on the ice, but that isn’t something that is interested in having anymore, especially with the rising interest in preventing CTE. I really wish they would just let somebody rock his you know what and maybe that would knock some sense into him. Otherwise it’s gonna take a lengthy suspension, but I don’t see that happening unless he really hurts somebody.
@frankcarlone5130 Because they have Patrick Roy as head coach, and I'm an Avs fan. I dislike the Devils, hate the Rangers though, but I like the Islanders.
@@kevinbadger8030 I have no problem with hard hitting hockey. This guy is out to injure. It's the only thing he does well. He should not be in the NHL.
Laine is stuck playing with Dach, Newhook, or Slaf on the 2nd, who all have very very rough seasons, idk why Martin St-Louis isn’t putting Laine on the first line because the Powerplay is essentially the first line and it’s amazing. Very few 5 vs 5 goals Laine was on ice for, was caused by him doing anything wrong. Montreal will have to put him line 1 or get him some help on line 2 eventually.
On the first line, Suzuki and Caulfied are right shots. Laine is a right shot. They need a left shot to keep the line balanced. Having a top line of all right-hand shots would be detrimental. That's why he was never on the top line in Winnipeg, as Wheeler and Scheifele were both right-hand shots. Habs need to find a decent 2C that can drive the line and feed him the puck.
@@pomerlain8924 Nope, Laine can never have that. He can never be plaid with an actual 1C or even higher end 2C for more than a few games at a time. If they do, he will get too many points and be too expensive for the team to keep. It's been like this his whole career.
Problem is, if that was the goal Laine would have quite a few 5 vs 5 goals vs weaker defense. They are simply trying to give first aid to Newhook/Dach/Slaf and failing by splitting the talent. That 2nd line has been an issue for a long time in Montreal, hell we had issues having a full first line for a while, by dropping Slaf from the first and putting Newhook they essentially broke the only line working last season !
Thanks for the video! Tough hit and worthy of a fine. I really hate the cheap shots. No place in the game for them. Rangers were playing very dirty last night. I think they have lost all composure and ability to play hockey like a pro team. I feel bad for guys like Panarin and Shesterkin. Their talents are wasted on a team that was on the skids and is now off the rails. Thanks for the deets and the insights!
I agree the Rangers were absoluelty playing dirty, but the refs didnt call most of it.... until they had to. Feel sorry for Panarin and Shesterkin? Not a chance. They get paid huge piles of money whether they win or lose. "Yeah your team sucks this year but here's $12M as a condolence prize"
@@bangyahead1 Naw, top players on all teams get paid, and that's deserved for playing as well as they do, because it shouldn't all go to the owners, but to be on a team where it seems the stars are playing well but others are sabotaging the chances of the team to make the playoffs, is why anyone would feel sorry for folks like Panarin and Shesterkin. The whole argument that they make lots of money and don't deserve to get to play the game they are getting paid to play is what folks who don't make lots of money often bemoan.
I'm sick of Matt Rempe. The league is better without having enforcers. I hate how they advertised him practicing fighting with Georges Laroque then he does dirty plays like this during games. I hate him in the league. I hate how we are waiting for him to paralyze someone as if there's something noble about him hurting people.
What started a little funny for me as a Leafs fan as a moderate length losing streak for Buffalo has turned into me actually feeling genuine sadness for the team 12 games in a row is just brutal. I feel for you Sabres fans
No hearing for that hit on Neighbours last night? If a Blues player made that hit it would have been a 10 game suspension. That was 100 times worse than the two hits that got them suspended in the finals. This league is a damn joke sometimes.
@@neeltheother2342I don’t ageee the league is out to get the Blues. That part of the comment was stupid, but Bennett absolutely should be receiving some kind of consequences for what he did last night. It was a hit to the head plain and simple.
Until the team itself suffers (large fines, loss of draft picks, relegation to the champions league, whatever!) plays like this will continue. It doesn't really hurt the team, so why should they care what he does?
Part of his league minimum salary goes to the player assistance fund...... so why should the team care? If the team got to keep that money they would probably tell him to "Go get yourself suspended. do we look like we give a ....?"
4 ejections in a 22 game career should tell you he's not good for player safety. Absolute goon, I love gooning to an extent but intending to injure anyone and everyone in your path is not cool. Play the puck for once eh?
There's a chance that i'm gonna have posted the same thing about 10 times because they kept getting knocked out by the auto-filter but there's nothing bad about the messages, so I kept posting with slight alterations and they would disappear. If they reappear out of the warp, i'm sorry.
There’s no way any team would offer anything worth more than what Savard offers to MTL. Habs don’t need pics more than they need veteran blue liners. They’ll sign him for a couple of years as a D6-D7 option. His room presence remains valuable
I've always felt that if you're in the penalty box and you're not serving a bench minor, goals scored on your team should effect your plus/minus. Buffalo will be forced to do some kind of a retool soon because they're so far along the latest rebuild that the young stars they drafted are aging into where you have too many RFAs you can't afford to sign and nothing to show for years of terrible roster management. The Sabres problems start with ownership and their "secret" internal cap, not with palm trees, because I don't remember a lot of palm trees in Winnipeg.
As a devils fan, I feel bad for heiskanen but I'm glad this fuckers done getting a slap on the wrist, he shoulda gotten 8 for his hit on seigs last year and this has been a long time coming, NJ brought up our enforcers for our game on Monday any now it looks like they won't be needed, but it wouldn't surprise me if we play really rough with them on principle
Nah, we don't have any expendable players and the org is too classy to call up a guy who should be in the Steelheads. And after he lost his shit on Stone in the WCF a few years back, and gotten married, Jamie doesn't do that stuff anymore (and honestly good for him). It just sucks. People will boo Rempe and he'll love it. It sucks.
Rempie hit: elbow, hit to the head, semi charging and boarding all in one go. He knows he's not coming back, might as well take someone out with him 🤦♂️
A thought experiment that will never happen, but would apply with the Rempes and Reaves of the world: instead of suspensions, make their teams have them lead x number of games in ice time, or they forfeit the game. Suspending a stiff like Rempe doesn’t hurt the Rangers, it helps them realize how useless he is.
I don't think the Sabres have put together 10minutes worth of good play since the streak got to around 7-8 losses, but it is nice that you feel otherwise.
Until that hit Rempe was having a + impact.. drew 3 penalties and brought energy and Stars D had to be aware .. then the hit...all he needed to do was keep the forearm tucked and slow down .. just like a perilous incident he is going too fast and instinctively the arm comes up so he does not face plant himself into the glass.. his responsibility to learn how to hit under control.. but some of the idiotic comments here about kicking him out of the league... man so many guys would get the boot as well ..Rempe is a big body that has speed unlike the 4th line clods of the past who were slow
But he should be kicked out. Quit lying to yourself. Not only that, but fine the Rangers three first round picks and give them to the Islanders, a team that actually has a future with Roy as coach.
I'm not a Leafs fan and really don't care but why would they play Mathews while he's hurt?? The team was winning without him. Why wouldn't they want him 100% for their annual first round loss??
My dad is a big Rangers fan. He despises Rempe, and wants the Rangers to get rid of him. He takes stupid and careless penalties, nearly costing the Rangers games. Now if it was 2000 or earlier, Rempe would be fine. But it's 2024. The league is coming down on intentional hits to the head, which is a good thing. I think they should give Rempe an 8 game suspension....he has a history, and clearly hasn't learned. He has played just 22 games, and has already been ejected from 4
Same thing I said about Torres when he joined the sharks Not happy hes on the team. Hes just a danger to everyone. Imagine if he clips celebrini or bedard..
Some people dont realize how poor and utterly frustrating Montreals powerplay has been since like 2016, so myself and many Habs fan dont care if Laine only scores on the powerplay for the rest of the season honestly. 7 goals is a goals and its not like we gave up alot to get him (No offense to Harris hes a very good 3rd pair defenseman)
I feel like there needs to be a way for the league to suspend players for like an entire season with pay. I feel like that is the only way to protect the players that are there because they're actually good at hockey. And that cap ofc would be dead weight.

It seemed to take Matthews an extra bit of time and effort to get back up after that cross-check near the end of the Buffalo game.
If I was DOPS, I'd kick Rempe out of the league, fine the Rangers three 1st round picks for even playing him, and give those picks to the Islanders.
It won’t happen but this is perfect
Why the Islanders?
@frankcarlone5130 Because they have Patrick Roy as head coach, and I'm an Avs fan. I dislike the Devils, hate the Rangers though, but I like the Islanders.
I fail to see what the Islanders have to do with yesterdays hit.
@@lelouchvibritannia4028 Oh, well THAT makes sense.😝
I'm thinking 10 games for Rempe
I was thinking 10-20.
@@Jordan.VanderSchaaf I’m a NYR fan and I think 10 is the number
Rempe needs to be gone from the NHL. Period
go watch soccer
@@kevinbadger8030 I have no problem with hard hitting hockey. This guy is out to injure. It's the only thing he does well. He should not be in the NHL.
What’s cool is that if they cover Laine, we have Cole
Laine is stuck playing with Dach, Newhook, or Slaf on the 2nd, who all have very very rough seasons, idk why Martin St-Louis isn’t putting Laine on the first line because the Powerplay is essentially the first line and it’s amazing.
Very few 5 vs 5 goals Laine was on ice for, was caused by him doing anything wrong. Montreal will have to put him line 1 or get him some help on line 2 eventually.
Newhook has like 7 points in 30 games and Dach 9. Those are 4th line numbers playing top 6 minutes. So not great.
On the first line, Suzuki and Caulfied are right shots. Laine is a right shot. They need a left shot to keep the line balanced. Having a top line of all right-hand shots would be detrimental.
That's why he was never on the top line in Winnipeg, as Wheeler and Scheifele were both right-hand shots.
Habs need to find a decent 2C that can drive the line and feed him the puck.
@@pomerlain8924 Nope, Laine can never have that. He can never be plaid with an actual 1C or even higher end 2C for more than a few games at a time. If they do, he will get too many points and be too expensive for the team to keep. It's been like this his whole career.
Because that way Laine doesnt have to face the opponents top defesive pairing, hence why you dont put all your eggs in one basket..
Problem is, if that was the goal Laine would have quite a few 5 vs 5 goals vs weaker defense.
They are simply trying to give first aid to Newhook/Dach/Slaf and failing by splitting the talent.
That 2nd line has been an issue for a long time in Montreal, hell we had issues having a full first line for a while, by dropping Slaf from the first and putting Newhook they essentially broke the only line working last season !
Voice sounding rough, Shannon. Hope you’re well. Thanks for all your efforts.
As a Sabres Fan... im just watching the Bills and Bandits.
Thanks for the video! Tough hit and worthy of a fine. I really hate the cheap shots. No place in the game for them. Rangers were playing very dirty last night. I think they have lost all composure and ability to play hockey like a pro team. I feel bad for guys like Panarin and Shesterkin. Their talents are wasted on a team that was on the skids and is now off the rails. Thanks for the deets and the insights!
I agree the Rangers were absoluelty playing dirty, but the refs didnt call most of it.... until they had to. Feel sorry for Panarin and Shesterkin? Not a chance. They get paid huge piles of money whether they win or lose. "Yeah your team sucks this year but here's $12M as a condolence prize"
@@bangyahead1 Naw, top players on all teams get paid, and that's deserved for playing as well as they do, because it shouldn't all go to the owners, but to be on a team where it seems the stars are playing well but others are sabotaging the chances of the team to make the playoffs, is why anyone would feel sorry for folks like Panarin and Shesterkin. The whole argument that they make lots of money and don't deserve to get to play the game they are getting paid to play is what folks who don't make lots of money often bemoan.
I'm sick of Matt Rempe. The league is better without having enforcers. I hate how they advertised him practicing fighting with Georges Laroque then he does dirty plays like this during games. I hate him in the league. I hate how we are waiting for him to paralyze someone as if there's something noble about him hurting people.
What started a little funny for me as a Leafs fan as a moderate length losing streak for Buffalo has turned into me actually feeling genuine sadness for the team 12 games in a row is just brutal. I feel for you Sabres fans
thats a nice sweater my man :D
Love the sweater brother
No hearing for that hit on Neighbours last night? If a Blues player made that hit it would have been a 10 game suspension. That was 100 times worse than the two hits that got them suspended in the finals. This league is a damn joke sometimes.
Every fanbase thinks the league is out to get their favorite team and this comment comes off as just whining.
@@neeltheother2342I don’t ageee the league is out to get the Blues. That part of the comment was stupid, but Bennett absolutely should be receiving some kind of consequences for what he did last night. It was a hit to the head plain and simple.
8 is not enough imo..more like 18games.
First words outta my mouth after clicking on this video "A Rammstien jersey?!?!?"
Until the team itself suffers (large fines, loss of draft picks, relegation to the champions league, whatever!) plays like this will continue. It doesn't really hurt the team, so why should they care what he does?
Part of his league minimum salary goes to the player assistance fund...... so why should the team care? If the team got to keep that money they would probably tell him to "Go get yourself suspended. do we look like we give a ....?"
@bangyahead1 Even more ridiculous.
4 ejections in a 22 game career should tell you he's not good for player safety. Absolute goon, I love gooning to an extent but intending to injure anyone and everyone in your path is not cool. Play the puck for once eh?
There's a chance that i'm gonna have posted the same thing about 10 times because they kept getting knocked out by the auto-filter but there's nothing bad about the messages, so I kept posting with slight alterations and they would disappear. If they reappear out of the warp, i'm sorry.
Rempe being Rempe.
That Rammstein sweater is 🔥
Love the Rammstein sweater
I'm a Rangers fan and I can't stand Rempe. The best thing that could happen is him getting suspended to keep him off the ice.
All he needs to do is say one negative thing about Drury and he will be gone.
It's like the movie Madagaskar where animals escape from the zoo. This time it's ape called Rempe.
Is that a rammstein jersey ? That is sick!
Can he please play on Monday? Kurtis MacDermid is going to be there. LGD
Mac and Dillion will be there, pick your poison, LGD!
Which Team would win.
20-21 Sabres or 24-25 Sabres.
24-25. If Skinner was still on the team. They would be giving up even more goals
There’s no way any team would offer anything worth more than what Savard offers to MTL. Habs don’t need pics more than they need veteran blue liners. They’ll sign him for a couple of years as a D6-D7 option. His room presence remains valuable
Savard to Utah. There is my guess.
I've always felt that if you're in the penalty box and you're not serving a bench minor, goals scored on your team should effect your plus/minus. Buffalo will be forced to do some kind of a retool soon because they're so far along the latest rebuild that the young stars they drafted are aging into where you have too many RFAs you can't afford to sign and nothing to show for years of terrible roster management. The Sabres problems start with ownership and their "secret" internal cap, not with palm trees, because I don't remember a lot of palm trees in Winnipeg.
Can't wait for Askarov to take over the net in San Jose.
I love Rempe but at least trouba knew how to keep it under control when needed
Sweet sweater
But did I miss the story on the beaut sweater????
Remps is his own worst enemy
Another Sadres video. 🙋🏽♂️
5 games at the very most for Rempe…Sabres play Boston today. Always a good team to end a losing streak against. Uh oh.
No the fact that he was offered an in person hearing means he's going to get at least 6 games.
I've been watching hockey for decades, yet I just recently learned that PPGs are not part of the calculation for plus/minus. Why is that?
Because you are down a man but if you score shorthanded the guys on the pp all get a minus
Because you didn't actually want to learn about it, you just like watching it.
Me too!!! I just saw this vid and thinking…WTF?!?!
Because players on the penalty kill would always have worse plus/minus and vis versa for players on the power play unit
If you’re up a man, that’s a pretty easy plus; if you’re down a man, that’s a pretty easy minus. Unfair
Rempe getting a warm welcome next time he shows up in Dallas
As a devils fan, I feel bad for heiskanen but I'm glad this fuckers done getting a slap on the wrist, he shoulda gotten 8 for his hit on seigs last year and this has been a long time coming, NJ brought up our enforcers for our game on Monday any now it looks like they won't be needed, but it wouldn't surprise me if we play really rough with them on principle
I doubt it. Your captain isn't going to do anything. He's too old 🤦♂️
Nah, we don't have any expendable players and the org is too classy to call up a guy who should be in the Steelheads. And after he lost his shit on Stone in the WCF a few years back, and gotten married, Jamie doesn't do that stuff anymore (and honestly good for him).
It just sucks. People will boo Rempe and he'll love it. It sucks.
glad the Devils have MacDermid 💪
Indefinite suspension and conditions for return for Rempe, this is ridiculous.
So you’re telling me askarov could start multiple games
He should start. He looks way better than Georgiev
Say 10 games for Rempe; he should be kicked to the KHL but of course that won't happen. Guys like Rempe sell tickets.
Get Rempe out of the nhl
45 years a Ranger fan here. Suspend Rempe for 30 games and take care of this punk before he literally paralyzes someone.
Should be 20 games. 5 game for elbowing, 5 games for from behind, 5 games for getting off his feet, 5 games for to the head.
Caps should trade like Lapierre for Savard for old times sake
That sweater is amazing Shannon!!
The Rangers are 16-4-2 with Rempe in the lineup
Rempie hit: elbow, hit to the head, semi charging and boarding all in one go. He knows he's not coming back, might as well take someone out with him 🤦♂️
They just confirmed Matthews will be out tonight and is questionable for Monday.
A thought experiment that will never happen, but would apply with the Rempes and Reaves of the world: instead of suspensions, make their teams have them lead x number of games in ice time, or they forfeit the game. Suspending a stiff like Rempe doesn’t hurt the Rangers, it helps them realize how useless he is.
I don't think the Sabres have put together 10minutes worth of good play since the streak got to around 7-8 losses, but it is nice that you feel otherwise.
Ottawa winstreak!!
Until that hit Rempe was having a + impact.. drew 3 penalties and brought energy and Stars D had to be aware .. then the hit...all he needed to do was keep the forearm tucked and slow down .. just like a perilous incident he is going too fast and instinctively the arm comes up so he does not face plant himself into the glass.. his responsibility to learn how to hit under control.. but some of the idiotic comments here about kicking him out of the league... man so many guys would get the boot as well ..Rempe is a big body that has speed unlike the 4th line clods of the past who were slow
Seriously though. Nobody actually watches Rempe play. He's honestly a solid 4th liner. He's so reckless though it's a shame.
But he should be kicked out. Quit lying to yourself. Not only that, but fine the Rangers three first round picks and give them to the Islanders, a team that actually has a future with Roy as coach.
Rempe to the Buds.
I'm not a Leafs fan and really don't care but why would they play Mathews while he's hurt?? The team was winning without him. Why wouldn't they want him 100% for their annual first round loss??
Rempe suspension: 8 games, minus two for not being a Leaf for a total of 6 games.
My dad is a big Rangers fan. He despises Rempe, and wants the Rangers to get rid of him. He takes stupid and careless penalties, nearly costing the Rangers games. Now if it was 2000 or earlier, Rempe would be fine. But it's 2024. The league is coming down on intentional hits to the head, which is a good thing. I think they should give Rempe an 8 game suspension....he has a history, and clearly hasn't learned. He has played just 22 games, and has already been ejected from 4
THE DEVILS!!!
Does Rempe need to seriously hurt another player before the league puts a stop to him?
How does Sam Bennett not have a hearing or anything? Dude head checked Neighbours last night and didn’t even get so much as a minor penalty
Oh please 🙄
@ Oh please what? Did you not watch him put his shoulder right on the kids head and then slam it into the glass? Wtf are you on about?
Same thing I said about Torres when he joined the sharks
Not happy hes on the team. Hes just a danger to everyone. Imagine if he clips celebrini or bedard..
Sure, I’m a Ranger fan of many years, but this kid needs to go !
Some people dont realize how poor and utterly frustrating Montreals powerplay has been since like 2016, so myself and many Habs fan dont care if Laine only scores on the powerplay for the rest of the season honestly. 7 goals is a goals and its not like we gave up alot to get him (No offense to Harris hes a very good 3rd pair defenseman)
I feel like there needs to be a way for the league to suspend players for like an entire season with pay. I feel like that is the only way to protect the players that are there because they're actually good at hockey. And that cap ofc would be dead weight.
Live Rempe but he is gonna end up in the IHL and we'll never hear about him again
I think Rempe will get 9 games. Thats what i would give if i was in charge anyway.
Rempe is just Matt Trouba
I'm tired of Matt Rempe. His game isn't what the game is anymore.
