Matthew Rempe elbowing on Jonas Siegenthaler (suspended 4 games)

[Megustaelhockey]

MacDermid should have clocked the linesman

Instant 20 game suspension.

Seems like misconducts most often occur for something that is said, and not something done physically. That would be my guess, but who knows.

i think i saw him doing fair bit of nut-grabbing there too while being held by the linesman

refs probably don't like that kind of stuff much

 

[SnS]

Don't think it was intentional but certainly reckless. Deserves a game or 2. He needs to get better at controlling his body there.

He stuck his elbow out purposely.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

He got an unsportsmanlike conduct for trying to get at Rempe. Refs usually do that when they think a player is over heated emotionally and needs a cooling down period.

Seems like misconducts most often occur for something that is said, and not something done physically. That would be my guess, but who knows.

These scenarios are roughly what I figured, and I don't like it.

You have to be able to stand up for your teammate in scenarios like this. Rempe should have had to answer.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

He stuck his elbow out purposely.

He absolutely did. Looking at 2-3 games imo.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I'm guessing at least 3 games. Kid needs to learn to keep his elbows tucked.

 

[BigKing]

Big fan of the kid but tonight is embarrassing.

For starters, I know he's answered every challenge but he needs to fight MacDermid in response to the hit against New Jersey last game. That's the code and "made men" like Deslauriers and Reaves don't have to give him the opportunity to make a name for himself: he's far too green to be acting like Ryan Reaves with the "only fight on my terms" bullshit.

But okay: he's only going to do it on his terms. I'll accept it while not being a fan of it, but waiving goodbye to the guy you've run from all night when you know you won't have to answer for it is clown show time and a total embarrassment.

What part of what he did could possibly be considered accidental? He led with and lifted his elbow into the hit towards Siegenthaler's head.

 

[Nick Hansen]

Displays zero respect for his opponent with that elbow. Needs a serious suspension; complete nonsense of a hit that achieves nothing but potentially injuring your opposing player.

 

[Breakers]

Jeeeeeeezzzz his arm is a mile away from his body

DOPS is gonna come down hard.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Ok, I have been corrected by multiple people. It was just a 10. Not the game.

Still. Why did he get 10? What did he do?

It’s just a way of attempting to deescalate potential tension between two teams by ejecting the enforcer. I don’t agree with it, although the official has the power/discretion to make that judgment call. This has been going on for years/decades.

Yeah I thought I saw a crotch grab at the end but no one else mentioned it, so I thought maybe I imagined it.

How was it not intentional? He lifted his elbow to so it would exactly hit his chin. Easily as bad as the gallagher elbow

 

[Felidae]

Every game this guy recklessly charges and tries to board guys. He’s just as bad as Matt Cooke and Raffi Torres, or worse bc he’s freakishly huge and dumber than dog shit.

Cooke did what he did for years on end and irreversibly damaged a few players

Rempe has a long way to go before reaching Cooke level, and hopefully never gets there

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Still. Why did he get 10? What did he do?

He attempted to instigate a fight with Rempe who did not respond.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

MacD got ten because they didn't want the stupid to get compounded.

Didn't see it on video, but would most likely be:

46.5 Continuing or Attempting to Continue a Fight - Any player whopersists in continuing or attempting to continue a fight or altercationafter he has been ordered by the Referee to stop, or who resists aLinesperson in the discharge of his duties shall, at the discretion of theReferee, incur a misconduct or game misconduct penalty in additionto any penalties imposed.

He's more dangerous than Cooke and Torres because he's a f***ing refrigerator.

 

[RoyalDuder]

Bad hit, probably will get 1-2 games as a first offender. Love this kid's game though, just needs to control himself a little better in these situations.

 

[Ezekial]

Welp, I think Matt Rempe might be getting his first suspension for that one. Pretty clear chicken wing flyby to only the head

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

We gotta wait until April 3rd for the next game

 

[HanSolo]

Lol watching it for the fifth and sixth time I don't know how you can say he was expecting to make body contact and braced the elbow on a guy who just slowed down. Rempe was staring him down the whole time and lifted the elbow purely to make contact with the head. This wasn't an accident.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

If the NHL is serious about protecting players from cheap shots to the head, this should be a longer suspension (if allowed in the CBA). I've defended many big hits when a player doesn't "pick" the head (as a Canes fan, even defended Trouba's hit on Jarvis), but this is just a dirty elbow to the head.

He’s there already. Numerous headshots already and several near misses
I know what I’m seeing

 

[dirtydanglez]

well thats a suspension
