Didnt watch the game but glad we got the win. Watched the hit from Rempe. If he was 3 inches shorter, no one cares about the hit. 2 minute boarding minor. Heiskanen milked it in a game he knew was lost.
If he were 3 inches shorter....
He drives his elbow into Heikanen's upper back and it's still a boarding major.
This was a bad hit and not the type of his where you can use his height as an excuse. Theres a very big difference between more borderline plays (the Bastian hit last year where he received a major that I don't agree with since him being huge did play a role there and the Lybushkin one where he went unpenalized altogether) and this one.
On Lindgren being hit like that...
This was also called a major and should have been. Bad hits are bad hits.
Rempe has been tossed 4 times in 24 games now - 2 deserved, 1 not and 1 was a technicality. When that happens, people take notice. I think the refs were a bit too quick to call him on shit during the playoffs last year but lets not act like his actions aren't mostly responsible for that. If he brought other things to the table? People would care less (See: Ovechkin, Pasternak, etc.)
