Matthew Rempe elbowing on Jonas Siegenthaler (suspended 4 games)

[gimbznyr]

I actually agree on the Bastian hit.

But the kid has played 9 NHL games.

Ok. Can you point out all the other dirty hits?

Yeah, but he's also trying to make a name for himself and stick around. He needs to learn. This was a legitimately bad hit. I mean, you saw a guy in here saying he wanted the league to throw the guy out, lol. You can't make this stuff up.

He hasn't had ANY other (than this one) dirty hits up here. I mean, none.

I've actually never seen a player get into Islanders' and Devils' fans heads this fast. At least not in my long time of watching the NHL.

He needs to take lessons from Trouba in how to properly destroy people.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

How come Rempe didn't answer the bell after that hit?

 

[SteelCityCannon]

I was a member of the RFC but he’s quickly turned into a clown. Elbowing a guy and hiding behind a ref is Sean Avery level shenanigans.

 

[abax44]

I could be mistaken, but didn't Cooke also use his skateblade as a weapon? That puts him in a pretty elite category of douchebags.

No, you're confusing him with Happy Gilmore.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I'm just a neutral metro NY hockey fan who watches a good amount of NYI NYR NJ games, but the Devils need to get heavier and nastier. I don't wanna say soft, and not expecting them to goon it up when a situation like this happens, but that's a team that needs some grit and snarl in a bad way.

Lol, it's going to be like what happened with the Rangers and Tom Wilson.

 

[MXD]

He hasn't had ANY other (than this one) dirty hits up here. I mean, none.

... In all of 9 games.

Launched at Lyubushkin's head.

 

[gimbznyr]

Could be the fact that he had a linesman bear hugging him but idk. Maybe he should have thrown him to the ground and answered the bell against a bum

Launched at Lyubushkin's head.

Wrong, try again.

 

[Canadienna]

I'd say the Bastian one wasn't clean, but maybe has mitigating circumstances because of the positioning. He gets the benefit of the doubt.

Then a few games later he throws an easily avoidable elbow right into Seig's head. Also acting not at all concerned for the player he just elbowed and taunting, to me shows it wasn't some kind of accident.

So one (maybe) bad hit where he definitely caught the guys head, but you could argue it's not his fault, and one definitely bad hit, all within a 10 NHL game career.

GIve him a few games and he will hopefully learn.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

... In all of 9 games.

And in the minors. I was unaware those games didn't count.

Dude has not been a dirty player at any level and he's now had one bad hit (this one).

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Can we get this absolute loser out of this league already.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

GIve him a few games and he will hopefully learn.

I think 4-5 for him for this. I think it's a good thing for him to get some tough love.

 

[MXD]

And in the minors. I was unaware those games didn't count.

The same could've been said for Brandon Gallagher... Who got 5 games for a very similar hit. And who has been a pro hockey player for more seasons than Rempe has NHL games.

Devils, Hurricanes and Stars both are the softest "Talented" teams in the league.

Granted the devils aren't even in a playoff position right but still the point remains that I dont think these teams win a stanley cup unless they get significantly grittier

 

[hawksrule]

What a dickhead. Trying to injure other players isn’t funny.

 

[thusk]

NHL close the eyes the first time on lyubushkin for their new mascot but this guy is a danger. He playing to destroy and he dont care about what he hit until he hit something. If he continu like that and NHL still protecting ( hope it will not be the case again but with parros everything is possible) but at the end the result will be maybe he will scrap a carreer of an NHL superstar or we will see something like bertuzzi on moore...

 

[UnSandvich]

Pretty stupid play. Only possible argument I could see for Rempe is that he expected Siegenthaler to continue skating instead of trying to duck back away from the hit. Should (deservedly) sit a few games for that

 

[BraveCanadian]

That’s a suspension.. oof

 

[TheFinalWord]

He's a POS. Garbage player.

 

[josra33]

See? This kind of stuff is just silliness. Guys on here literally want the league to throw a player out for being too big.

You just cannot make this stuff up.

Numerous people now calling for this, LOL.

I didn’t realize your height affects you chicken winging off the side of your body. That’s certainly an interesting take

 

[HolyHagelin]

That will be 1-2 games probably

 

[dgibb10]

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.

"first offender" this is his 4th time doing this shit in 2 months

They literally just traded for a guy to do that and it didn’t do anything. Didn’t deter Rempe and and he didn’t even get to fight him

nobody in this league wins a cup or even sniffs it without being greasy and having some psycho guys sprinkled within the lineup, I think too many people forget that these days. Rangers put stock into getting some size after spending most of the years between 2016-2020 as the token "soft good guys". What a draft in 2020 by Jeff Gorton.
