Why not? Other than FL, the rest on your list appear to be good but not outstanding most nights vs the better competition. It feels like FL toys with teams, at times, based on how they are feeling not out of fear.
I appreciate last night’s Rempe hit for youth hockey.
The elbow was pretty light in terms of elbows. It’s the whole hitting from behind straight into the numbers part that should be the call. It’s irrelevant, and it’s easier to make those kinds of comments the next day when looking at it. He deserves to get suspended due to multiple infractions. If this was his first I’d wonder how serious this one would be viewed.
It's largely because of his height. But the elbow starts at the back of the neck and goes up as he makes contact. Elbows to the cervical spine are not something we've needed to discuss but I think we can all agree are a bad thing.
It’s a light elbow regardless of location. I agree it’s 100% on him and he deserves it overall. This just wasn’t the worst hit I’ve seen from him, and at this point I do think there’s some gamesmanship going on with anyone he touches. That’s on him to take the edge off….which he really doesn’t because he doesn’t know how to control himself. He’s going to get run out of the league soon, because everyone makes sure they show their numbers when he’s around and he doesn’t know how to stop when they’re there.
His first suspension was 4 games I think so 6 is probably a good guess for a starting number here.
