Matthew Rempe elbowing on Jonas Siegenthaler (suspended 4 games)

[ShootIt]

Dumb hit. Hopefully it's 3-5 games.

 

[Tob]

Lol at the people here who don't watch the game and thinks he has a negative impact on the ice. One of the best ice tilt players for the Rangers since he's been called up.

 

[miscs75]

I cannot believe you are actually calling for the league to kick the guy out. I mean, I thought you were kidding at first. I didn't realize this was serious talk.

He needs to be suspended for this junk. Play physical but don’t head hunt. Doing this consistently is going to come back to bite him and his teammates. You’ll get someone who’s actually dirty and will just end someone’s season as a result.

 

[Master P]

Not sure why he did that. Dude is massive, all he needs to do is just glide into a guy and he'll level them.

No need to stick out the elbow.

 

[Tob]

Classic “i dont have a response because i am wrong so i will post something about the past”

Lets talk about this year. The year the Devils were so hyped before the season and will end up missing the playoffs

I think the Nate Bastian hit in still in his head.

 

[Osakahaus]

Enough already

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Yeah that is bad. Love how all the Rangers fans who went batshit crazy about Wilson keep defending this dude.

 

[Chainshot]

That's a couple of games, easy. Jumping into Lyubushkin's head a few games ago and now this, not a great look.

 

[BerthMania]

The only guy that challenged him after the hit was Nico Hischier. Again, would you have preferred he gave Hischier another concussion? Would you prefer him to injure the Devils' captain (a guy with a history of head injuries)?

Like, you're volunteering another fanbase's skill player for sacrifice, LOL.

What is the reason for Macdrmid's penalty then?

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

He has one dirty hit, lmfao. This would be like Penguins fans talking shit while employing Matt Cooke.

Glass houses.

He’s been running around the whole time. Hit in Leafs game was dirty too. And he has played how many games? He should have no suspensions so early in his career.

 

[Fatass]

He’s an awkward skater at best. Fast in a straight line but awkward. The guy he wanted to hit slowed up quick so Rempe used his elbow to make contact. Very awkward move. He should get 3-5.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Hes fought the toughest of tough guys in the league and had Macdermid running around like a school yard girl tonight. Macdermid looked like an absolute clown. You wouldve thought Rempe was the vet and Macdermid the rookie tonight

Yeah HE looked like the clown, not the guy ducking him all night and throwing a gutless elbow to a guy's jaw

 

[PBandJ]

Chickenwing a dude, run like hell and then chirp while getting tossed and possibly suspended?

Kid doesn't seem very sharp.

 

[stevo61]

Has anyone on here defended the elbow? Most Rangers fans are fine with a suspension (I've said 4-5 games and I'd be cool with even 7-10 if it helped get a message through).

People have absolutely made excuses, certain people will defend anything their team does regardless of what it is.

 

[Byron Bitz]

I’m interested to see what this kid does in the playoffs

 

[Drytoast]

You mean this gorgeous, textbook, clean hit? Let's watch it again. What a freaking hit!!!

Textbook example of charge.

- more than 3 strides (he took 5)
- both feet leave the ice which means he jumped into it.

Charging in Hockey: What is the NHL’s Charging Penalty?

What is charging in hockey? Read the official rules about the NHL’s charging penalty, see a video example, and learn more about charging from HockeyMonkey!

www.hockeymonkey.com

Charging in hockey is when a player charges an opponent and makes contact with them, whether it be by skating, or jumping, into them. This can occur anywhere on the ice, and what differentiates it from a standard body check, is the distance traveled to make the hit.

The general rule of thumb is that if a player hits another from three or more skating strides away, it will likely be called a charging. However, it is at the referee’s discretion to determine what that “distance” is.

It was against the Leafs though so it gets ignored.

That's a really really bad hit. This kid is kinda stupid.

You've said this 15 times already, but it's not true - MacDermid is trying to get after Rempe after the dirty hit on Siegenthaler, but is being held back by the linesmen again.



Total bush league by Rempe to not answer the bell earlier in the game when MacDermid challenged him as well.

The linesmen were awful tonight protecting him.

 

[mm11]

When is the Rempe, Wilson match up? people will pay to watch that Hughes

 

[Filthy Dangles]

It looks pretty bad on replay slowed way down

But using common sense, why would he elbow a guy in the head on purpose up 2-0 while his team is controlling the game. Doesn’t add up.

In reality it’s more likely a poorly timed hit by a giant with too much adrenaline. Doesn’t excuse it, he’ll likely be suspended but it’s hard to think he did that on purpose

 

[Il Stugotz]

I’d call an in person suspension and then suspend him for 5 games. Dude needs an intervention already

I think the answer you’re looking for is somewhere between lack of discipline, experience or hockey IQ.

Will he see much ice in the playoffs?

 

[HBK27]

He was already being escorted off the ice when MacDermid jumped on.

And the goon wouldn't answer the bell earlier in the game for his hit last game on Bastian.

 

[Chips]

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.

“First offense” also shouldn’t apply when it’s a blatant attempt to break the rule
