That's not the framing. You're framing it as "he makes the team play better."

They're 1-2-1 with him in the lineup. They were outplayed in three of those games and two of them were absolutely awful.

Frame it however you want but he was a positive on the team last year and this team plays listless gutless hockey on a nightly basis this year.. Trying something that has worked in the past is better than continuing to do nothing, which hasnt. Im no Rempe apologist but they need to change something and he doesnt require trading anybody.

The point is he doesn't move the needle and moving the needle on his teammates is his entire sales pitch.

No you don’t understand. When the team wins games with Rempe in the lineup it’s because he provides a spark. An edge. A George C Scott speech from Patton every pre game.

But when the team loses with Rempe in the lineup well what do you want a 4th liner to do? He doesn’t get enough ice time to matter. You can’t seriously be blaming him?

There's a larger sample size last year of him moving the needle for his teammates, but he had 2 bad games this year so f*** him. Get literally anyone in here who can galvanize the team and get the fans excited. The team got booed off the ice at home twice last week.

Plenty of guys on this team can’t play. Not sure why it only gets held against Rempe. The team is lifeless. They were amazing when they had him backing them up last year. You see how soft they are. They need Rempe, plus 2 more guys who can intimidate, at least. Including a guy in their top 6 and on D

Yes, Rangers fans haven't been complaining about Trouba, Lindgren, Miller, Mika, and Kreider all season.

The people who get excited about Rempe are the kind of people I'd be very happy to never sit next to at MSG ever again.

At this point, Rempe shouldn't be recalled until he can play at major league level consistently. He's been yo-yo'ed, and if they keep doing him as a tweener, the excitement lessens a little each time, if it's not already passe at this point. You can't deny that he brings energy to the fans AS WELL AS to the room. Other players have said it. But every time he comes up for a game and is then sent down, people become used to it.

Wow, nice to see a rational explanation instead of people who just hate Rempe telling others they are morons for seeing his impact.

Personally I don’t understand how lawyers ever lose cases.

I simply would only allow evidence that helps my cause to be presented and disallow any contrary information from my opponents.
We started with me saying "what could he be doing? He only plays 3 minutes" to the Rempe fans saying "what could he be doing? He only plays 3 minutes" within like six posts.

"The defendant is guilty. The victim was discovered in his trunk on the night of the 6th."

"That's absurd, your honor! My client was busy hiding a body that night."

Bob already made this point, but that's what he was playing last year when he apparently saved the season.

Does that 3 minutes a game make a difference or doesn't it? We can't go both ways on it.

The irony with the Pro Rempe crowd is that his best chance at being a regular at the NHL is going to be via learning how to do things other than punching people well enough to justify his existence.

He’s in the right place for that right now where he’s getting actual reps instead of 3 shifts a game sandwiched in between getting his ass kicked.

His limitations are probably insurmountable, but if he’s can learn to do hockey things at the AHL level and do them well, then it’s worth looking at whether or not he can do them at the NHL level.

Until then, he should be f***ing Voldemort.

Yeah, those guys get to play the most minutes every game. That's a problem too.



Their money is green, just like yours.
Mine is virtual and doesn't really exist since the bank loans it out to made money. I'll take your word that it's green.
