I didn’t see the game but I knew exactly what happened once I heard “Rempe hit”.
Every f***ing hit by this dipshit starts with him lumber-sprinting across the ice, for a while, in order to brain an unsuspecting player who has stopped by the boards to play the puck.
The ridiculous part is these are clearly the only types of hits Rempe is capable of delivering.
He’s can’t pull off big open ice hits or even hit a moving target. So his one f***ing move is a suspension worthy boarding.
How many times does he have to do this before he starts getting severe penalties?
I loath Trouba but I know where he legally operates. The league likes open ice hits, and they give players some latitude if they get dicey. (You can disagree, please don’t see this as the start of separate discussion lol.)
But there’s no grey area with Rempe, other than how deliberately dangerous you think each illegal boarding incident is.
It’s absurd. The Rag’s folk hero needs to start getting major suspensions or he’ll go around being more dangerous than someone like Matt Cooke ever was. And, to be clear, Cooke did very dangerous things.
