Deslauriers is one tough 'ombre, Rempe has one strong ass jaw. What a god damn tilt.

Rempe has definitely put the league on notice, for Nic to march up to the kid like that in warmups - teams know.

Oh and props to Cuylle being 5th overall in the NHL in hits!
Deslauriers evolved into a good heavyweight champ. He dummied Wifi, who everyone was anointing the next heavyweight. Punching up on Rempe took some power off. All while Rempe was raining down bombs to his head

He’s been a hockey player for 23 years, and his skating hasn’t gotten any better since he made it to the nhl. I think he is what he is at this point. Which is fine but he’s not going to be a good scorer. Hes not a threat off the rush.
Being not a threat from the rush doesn't mean you can't be a scorer.

For real, Rantanen isn't that much better of a skater than Kakko is, at least in my opinion. He scored 55 goals last year.

I'm not saying Kakko is going to do that, Rantanen has an elite shot and Kakko doesn't. But you don't need elite skating to be effective as a winger.

It makes it a lot more difficult. I don’t know I’ve watched Rantanen a lot and he moves a lot better than Kakko and his skill is on another level. Stickhandling. Shot. Vision. Makes plays on his backhand routinely.

It kind of does. Most scoring is on the rush.

It's not just skating. Kakko isn't a threat off the rush because he also has no offensive instincts and all of his production comes pretty much by happenstance when he establishes a good cycle.

That's not reliable production.
 
Good to hear we’re shutting down the door on any Othman or Perrault trade. I read recently that Ed and Kakko are the names to watch. Hopefully just Kakko.
 
That’s the best fight i have caught on the ice in real time (well, on tv, seen some good ones in person) i have seen in a long time, LGRempe!
The BEST fight I ever saw in person was Shanahan vs Brashear, the night he mugged Jagr and Shanny wasn't having it (the mutual helmet toss). MSG literally SHOOK!

I agree. But it seemed he had some nicely tucked crosses that I don't think had much of any power off them lol

I'm actually a Deslauriers fan, tough dude. What a fight.
 
Rempe looks like the guy that Paul Newman fought in Butch Cassidy
