Player Discussion Matt Rempe - See Mod Note Post 769

[Shesterkybomb]

Rempe is effective, but he's useless when he suspended, he has to figure it out before his career is over

Rempe will think twice about mocking the crowd after getting ejected.

You would think losing the 80 grand would smarten him up, but lets see.

I have seen a heck of a lot worse. Tom Wilson. Sam Bennet. These guys get away with way worse often. I'm okay with some sort of penalty but it should not be cr4azy because he is tall or a Ranger imo.

Come on - this is just bias talking. Rempe is crossing the line. I like him and he's effective, but he's crossing the line. And if it was our players on the other side you would have a totally different opinion of his play.

He didn’t SAY Rempe didn’t cross a line. He said Bennet and Wilson have done way worse with more frequency and less penalty. And he is correct.

Yes I have some bias but not 8 games worth of bias. Do you know of other similar hits that brought 8 games?

Have the team move him from Quick to Mika households so that he can spend time to absorb the pacifist lifestyle

Granted that Wilson served 14 games for a hit to the head prior to this. However, unlike Rempe, Wilson's punishable infractions are months / years apart.

Just friendly advice that this behavior is off-putting. There's no need to go back and quote yourself to tell everyone you're right about something (especially things that are pretty predictable).

People who are right about things don't have to prove to others their intelligence or accuracy. Their reputation through their actions will be enough to build that respect.

Yet weren't you just recently one of the ones that came on and questioned my information after months of sharing things before they were public? And if it's friendly advice and not public shaming you'd pm instead of posting.

If I post info I get crap bc people assume I'm guessing, if my info is proven correct I get crap for how I presented. It might be time to follow in the steps of Edge and others and take a break from this place...

Did that factor into the suspension? If not, it feels like you're really focusing in on an arbitrary non-factor. Why would he stop doing his ear gesture? He knows he's the villain.

 

[ReddestRum]

BTW, I'm not trying to minimize Wilson's bullshit, but Rempe has 95 PIMS in 22 NHL games and has been suspended twice. I swear this feels like some dumb record.

Probably not, but nobody is feeling sorry for Matt Rempe. Nobody is going into these meetings with a mind set that he made a mistake when he acts like an idiot right after.

 

[will1066]

An $80k hit to the bank account should stop him

Thanks. I feel I have seen even worse than that. Ive seen guys crosschecked to the face only get 5-15 games. I would appeal but no sense getting too upset with it. Trouba got away with some as well.

Rempe elbowed a dude from behind as a repeat offender. That's what they are looking at. It's silly to imply that that behavior could influence the hearing. For that to be true, you'd have to believe that good sportsmanlike behavior would have gotten Rempe fewer games. E.g. hold his helmet "oh nos" in remorse. kneels on ground over Miro in concern, waves at bench to bring the other teams' trainer over. Maybe fans could respect him more but the suspension is gonna hit just as hard.

I think if Rempe had a couple hundred NHL games under his belt this would go a little differently. But instead, he has a few headline-making incidents in 22 games. Fair or not I think they're sending a message to him that he can't just jump into the league playing out of control. If he could make it even half a season without being at the center of controversy he'd buy himself some slack.

 

[Mugless]

Don't hit people in the head, don't hit people from behind. It's not rocket surgery.

He was playing a very effective 4th line game yesterday until that hit.

I agree with you but in my opinion that doesn't make 8 games fair. 2-5 I could grudgingly understand but 8? Come on lol

I think every player should try to appeal. I saw some numbers that said Rempe's losing around 80K. Wilson could've literally killed a guy with his hit to the head and got 20 games. He appealed down to 14, which is still a kick in the nuts.

I hope he does appeal even if they refuse to lower it.

No one ever accused this man of being a genius.

LMAO. I scared my dog laughing out loud at this.

It was only going up from 4 games, since he had a very recent elbowing suspension for 4. Personally I thought it would be 6, but they're definitely looking to send a message to him.

He's a repeat offender...no way he was only getting 2-5 games
