Player Discussion Matt Rempe - See Mod Note Post 769

[Shesterkybomb]

The fight he will likely take is vs Reaves, but I'm not hopeful he's strong enough to wrestle reaves yet. He'd have to get the jump on him get the first couple shots in.

Not gonna lie, I was a bit shocked there was no Rempe vs Olivier part 2 fight last night lol.

Has Reeves been as reluctant to fight as when he was with the Rangers?

 

[LOFIN]

This was cool. You even sneeze on these guys I'm coming after you"

Should watch the entire Vally segment, starting from 32:20. While we are discussing that awesome Orr story, he did also discuss Rempe. And said he's a bit concerned with his eagerness and recklessness. Scott Page, a former OHL teammate and a very good friend of his died this month at the age of 44. CTE was a major contributor in his death. OHL mourns the loss of Scott Page - Ontario Hockey League

Rempe is in his D+4. It's wild that a kid that big and lanky has been able to keep up so well at the NHL level. If conventional wisdom holds, his strength and coordination aren't going to really be there for a few more years. There's a real chance this guy will be more than a 4th liner, and may end up a better NHLer than he would be at the AHL level being that he'll play with better players here that will more efficiently use the room he creates in the O zone and the screen he sets in front of the net. Before the season, I figured Edstrom had the chance at 3rd line, now, it's looking like both COULD be that level down the line a bit, even if NYR have enough talent to keep them on the 4th.

@Tob you made it on Twitter!

Just once, I want to trade down 75 times just so we can acquire all the picks in rounds 6 and 7 and draft 64 players in a row.

I can see Bettman just go, f*** this, hey, the Rangers have all the picks in Rounds 6 and 7, so everyone just come up on stage.

Yup. All he does is run his mouth.

Edit: 2 fights this year both in October. Marcus Foligno and Wifi

Got a big smile too.

Got a big smile too.

If Tronna gave me that contract to do what he does, id be smiling too.

Hahahahah

I'm a Flyers fan, but I love this guy. I hope he sticks around. I appreciate his willingness to go.

Im excited to see Nick Cousins and Rempe get acquainted in the eastern conference finals

Cousins wouldn't even look in Rempe's direction. He ain't that kind of tough.

I've criticized Rempe's fighting ability but keep in mind that I'm worried about outcomes against true heavyweights and experienced fighters.

A garden variety rat like Cousins would get ripped in half by Rempe.

While I don't anticipate Cousins to be a willing participant, I do agree that I'd love see Rempe apply some wrestling holds like he did to Olivier last night.

I loved that. Seeing Rempe take a guy causing extracurriculars in our crease and just carry him off was even more satisfying than any of the fights.

And Wi-Fi didn’t give him the choice.

Im concerned as well. Thats why I want him to stop answering every bell until he can learn how to use his reach properly. Plus he needs to get his helmet strapped on better.

Phone battery at 73%. It's a sign.

He fought tonight, Rempe doesn't have the man strength to fight him yet imo. Reaves just kinda mauled OBrien tonight

Totally agree - we can't deny the physical attributes Rempe displays, along with raw athletic traits for a massive man and he seemingly can really motor. That's a dangerous combo.

To be honest, he doesn't even have his man strength yet. IMO

Also really like what Edstrom has brought too.

"Avoidable hit" being something made up by online people is correct. Rempe has no obligation to avoid hitting a guy with the puck because he's bent over. Price to pay for being stupid cupcake.

That entirely depends on if you want to be ideal or realistic. Should he have to hold up? Probably not. But the refs are likely to call those plays penalties so he probably should.
