Give him a few more games and he’ll catch Mika on ES goals…

I really did not expect someone like Rempe coming in and changing the dynamic of this team the way he has. This is exactly what this roster needed to go up against the other teams with muscle

really rooting for him to keep carving out his spot on that 4th line. Needs to be a lock for game 1.

Today he showed a different element besides fighting. He was so disruptive in front of the net and was rewarded. If he can play like this often we have a hard 4th line to play against

Mathieu Olivier is up next on the trail of welts

Kakko I love you deep down but I’m dropping you for the alpha.

RIP Kakko24

Poor Edstrom.

He should be the talk of the town as a 6’7” rookie breaking into the team but literally no one cares about him.

It’s just Rempe this and Rempe that

Thats the thing. Thats his game. I posted this morning but here it is again

I have an AHLTV sub and watch pack games when the rangers arent on. People acting like rempe is just some talentless goon are just so far off.

For his size hes an elite skater, as an overall skater hes average but keeps improving. He gets in on the forecheck and its hilarious watching dmen on dump in’s seeing rempe as F1 barreling down towards them, it causes so many turnovers just his mere presence. When we get possession in the o-zone he might as well set up a tent in front of the net thats how much time he spends there, the goalie cannot see a damn thing. His hands are actually pretty soft around the net too. He cleans up his fair share of goals in the dirty areas. He plays nothing but 5v5 hockey but had 8 goals in about 40 games with the pack. Hes the low cost guy who I can see becoming a valuable 4th line center

Watch the end of the fight. Deslauriers wanted that shit to end. He grabs Rempe's leg to throw him off balance.

Gudbranson would be better. Get a dman off for 5

 

[markymarc1215]

Not for 30+ years. Unbelievable

Agreed. From Hartford......Probably going back to Darren Langdon or PJ Stock

 

[Mandar]

Any old timers getting Fotiu vibes from him?

 

[will1066]

Rempe can't hold Edstrom's jock.

He could rip it off him and beat him to death with it but thats about it.

This didn't age well

 

[fm]

Can the wee lad win faceoffs? Asking for a friend…

 

[E-Train]

Gudbranson would be better. Get a dman off for 5

Olivier’s been much more willing

 

[rangersfansince08]

Does he have the potential to put up a 10-10-20 season, would be icing on the cake

Yep and Domi was the last to do this at 21.

185 PIM in 28 games

 

[GENESISPuck94]

I can't even express how likable this guy is. I would keep him up here and let him cook. Long term this guy is going to be unstoppable. He's only 21. Imagine what he's going to be like at even 23 or 24?

I love this dude.

 

[will1066]

This guy took off his jersey in 39 degree weather. Without an undershirt.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

And his personality is infectious. Nothing seems like it's too big a moment for him. He's handled every situation with confidence and swagger and like a sense of humor almost.

Some here said that was a win. I thought it was a draw. Rempe landed shots that McIlrath wasn’t expecting and threw him down

Rempe was the one landing in that fight, Mcilrath threw a haymaker that sailed past Rempe’s head and he bulldogged Rempe to the ice. Guess you could call it a draw but Rempe landed better. Dylan was concerned that Matt maybe hit the ice hard and made sure he was okay. Nice show of respect. Rempe’s opponents mostly seem to like him. Hahah. Seems like a good kid.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

He's like the real life version of Doug Glatt from the movie Goon, except Rempe can skate and play. Deslauriers asking him to fight during warm ups was like Ross Rhea challenging Doug Glatt. I want to see this kid play against Tom Wilson.

I agree. I was surprised by that one. I knew he liked to mix it up from the rookie games. I didn’t know he was gonna go after heavyweights in the A at 20. Went after Nick Wolff too. Then demolished some others as the year went on.

It’s been an unbelievable progression since draft day

Deslauriers pulled a Vukota takedown to get out of the fight. Mick was notorious for the takedown when he wanted no more of getting punched. Deslauriers wanted out but he’s not the type to turtle.
