If the refs called the high stick on smith, the boarding on berard, or the miscellaneous head shot on borgen near the end, maybe it’s not so lopsided tho. I’m going with this was a clusterf*** and the boys dug down and did what they had to win. If they can build on some luck and grit here, I’m happy. If not, yeah, I throw up my hands.

Hope so. I’m dubious and there are a few guys that still need to go. But I’m always an optimist. No other way to be watching sports.

Mika has been playing with much more energy lately. Not getting results on the scorecard but he’s a factor. It’s something…

Only took him a third of the season to give the minimum effort. I still think he looks terrible most shifts. Him and his BFF shouldnt be on the power play until they show anything 5v5.

Rempe is exactly what this team needs. The Rangers are a soft team, very soft. Not one team in this league is afraid to play them. For too long, they have skated around thinking their "skill" would win them games. There isnt one superstar on this team that is good enough to play that way. They need to get to the dirty areas and win battles. Rempe does that. People know when he is on the ice and they certainly dont want to meet up with him on the boards. I wish we had three more of him. That being said I think he's getting suspended for that hit but up until that point he was playing a very effective game. Hopefully Laviolette keeps him in there.

Didn't watch the game. Had tea with my neighbor, and I don't like tea.
Rangers are 2-0 when I have tea.
1st time was when I turned off the TV when the Islanders scored the 5th goal in that outdoor game against us.
Wifey was so confused why I was so filled with rage considering I had chamomile and they had won.

I don’t think Rempe gets suspended for that though. Hit was fine. Just an elbow. Thought they might rescind the game misconduct actually.

His elbow at no point ever hits heiskanen’s head/neck area. Heiskanen and the league as a whole has gotten WAY too comfortable puck watching as you see heiskanen do here after he backhands it. It’s 2 for boarding at worst. If its more than that lets just ban hittingNo it f***ing isn't
Rempe sees the numbers all the way, and still drives Heiskanen to the boards with his elbow up and riding Heiskanen's neck.
That is a major every day of the week, regardless of who delivers that hit. Just an unbelievable disregard to the opponents' health by Rempe there.
Its unfortunate bc Rempe was very effective until he reverted back to his old ways. He drew 2 or 3 pentalties, and had a scoring chance or two. Might have been one of his best games all around.
Until he went full Rempe. Never go full Rempe.

I guess the counter argument for Rempe is they have the best PK in the league so might as well take advantage of it.

I actually got that right. I said "Staalsy and John Moore." I actually don't remember much of John Moore or what number he wore. Not sure if it was a straight guess or me having the memory tucked deep away and I pulled it out there.
I usually only get 25% of those questions.

The violence and force that Rempe hits with idk if anything is ever going to be a minor. Plus "injury" on the plays gives more discretion to ref for a major.
Dude he literally chipped the puck out of the zone as he was supposed to. Rempe has no reason to make that hit as there was no way he was going to be able
To make a play on that puck. This isn’t even an instance of the victim of the hit turning into a hit from behind, he sees his numbers all the way.
He had ample time to re adjust and just press him against the wall or just pull the eject button on contact outright but opted to extend his arm and smash Heiskanens face against the glass.
It’s okay to like the player, but it isn’t okay to make things up to try to justify what was a major worthy and suspendible hit. He has the reputation for a reason and it isn’t because he’s huge.

Why does he need Brian Boyle? He has a teammate, in fact a linemate, who is almost the same size as him yet plays a smart game and does not take many penalties and has never had a non-fighting major.
If that were the case, he’d never be called for minor penalties!
If there is a place where his rep hurts him it’s there. He was called for a minor on the hit that knocked TVR out of the caps series and I didn’t like that call at all. A shade late? Yeah, but that happens dozens of times in every game and you shouldn’t be allowed to selectively enforce it because of who threw the hit when the contact itself was clean. Plays like that are worth complaining about because there are players who get away with much worse in identical scenarios (enter: Sam Bennett.)
Hits like last nights hit are just bad hits. It would have been a bad hit if Panarin threw it. It has nothing to do with Rempe.
