Why would we want him NOT to be in the lineup? Literally the kid has done nothing wrong and literally everything right, except in that one fight in which I guess he will learn with all of this "outside help" from guys like Fotiu and Scott? Lmao
Wouldn't mind if he had as many SHOTS as were given. Although, I will say the people administering them, were MUCH MORE on target as to where the shot needed to be.
He's been much better choosing his spots and less of a charging look to his hits (something Ryan Hollweg never learned), he's looking to make effective hits, not flatten anything that moves. He understands that his primary goal is contribute to his line's effectiveness to keep the puck on the right side of the ice, secondly to intimidate with big hits, and lastly to fight.
He's just off. Simple passes on the PP are a foot out of reach, never makes the right decision along the boards on the PP, things he used to be pretty good at are a struggle for him. Wonder if his personal life legal issues are weighing on him, wouldn't be surprised if they are.
Joked about Kravtsov descending from the rafters
He seems very vulnerable to counterpunches. Against Reaves for example, he used his reach and was jabbing with his left, but as soon as Rempe started using his right to go for legit shots Reaves began to counter punch and had a few good chances (not sure any really connected luckily). It might be Rempe's stance/balance. I think his opponents are learning that his balance/lower body strength isn't great and they yank him around as he's throwing them leading to good counterpunch opportunities. I'm nervous whenever he squares off because he really seems open to taking some big shots.
Gianone said that Vesey calls Rempe the Rempire State Building.
Doesn't that just mean eating dinner at home for the Aussies?
You guys changing your clocks has thrown everyone out....
