OOT Scoreboard 2024-25 season

[Louskoolaid89]

Shesterkin will win them some games, but if they don’t get their shit together defensively, it will be a long rest of the season.

The final playoff spot in the East is up for grabs, but Ottawa is catching fire suddenly. They’ve won 5 in a row.

Brady Tkachuk is on a mission and Ulmark is his co pilot. They can keep the Rags out of the playoffs! Go Sens Go!

Ren and Stimpe at it again, shocker, f*** that guy.

Ulmark’s a lot of that fire but I like Ottawa’s chances and I’m rooting for them.

Adding Nick Jensen has done wonders because Chabot has been fire on a pairing with him.

It’s unfortunate that Zub fractured his foot in November, when the Sanderson/Zub pair is reunited their defense will really solidify.

 

[Bleedred]

I think Travis Green is a lot of that fire!

 

[MasterofGrond]

if people will defend rempe intentionally running a dude into the boards with his arm up on his head and neck, idk man

absolute definition of an avoidable dangerous f***ing play

 

[Whaddagoal]

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.

Hit the nail right on it's head, on all points!

That 'lumbering' is also a partial form of charging. It's happened on his hit on Bastian, lyubushkin, too.

Guy is reckless and I'm very curious what will happen.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Yeah, you hit it on the head Guttersniped, what really drives me nuts about it is how it really is the ONLY thing he can f***ing do.

Matt Cooke, the poster child for doing dangerous shit was at least, honestly, a tolerably good hockey player. He'd have a place in the league either way. Tom Wilson was a rather good hockey player there for a little bit (and I guess is back to it now after a rough year?).

Rempe makes those dudes look like Mario Lemeiux. He's an "18 point pace in the AHL" guy who can't go 5 games without a call from player safety. It doesn't have to be this way, lol

I could fix it in one game if they let me

 

[Better Call Sal]

I honestly won’t be upset if Rempe isn’t suspended if it means MacDermid will beat his ass on Monday. Unless he runs away again like a chicken shit.

 

[Blackjack]

I'm so beyond being angry at Rempe. I'm even beyond being pissed at Parros and DOPS. At this point I'm just disgusted this is allowed to go on without anyone saying anything about it.

I found out about this hit when I woke up, and I thought "surely there's some scathing piece of writing by a high profile hockey writer about how absurd and dysfunctional this all is. That this player can be brought up to the lineup with the obvious purpose of injuring people, and then sent back down to the minors MULTIPLE TIMES is terribly embarrassing for the league and the sport.

Surely there's some piece from Shayna or Arthur about how the Rangers have taken the lessons of Tom Wilson too far, that the sugar high from his heavy hits and provocation is not worth the long term damage being done.

Surely there's some piece from a prominent Dallas writers outraged that their best player is allowed to be targeted like this, and connecting it to the complete abdication of the league and the Player's Association's duties to keep players save.

Nope.

Not a single f***ing word, at least that I can find. Everyone acting like this is just another bad his by a guy with a history. So f***ing gutless. Hockey culture is atrocious. I really don't know how much longer I can stick with it. I really love the Devils, I love watching the Hughes brothers, Bratt, Hischier, Pesce, Hamilton, et al. They play some of the best hockey I've ever seen the team play. But I'm going to be furious all over again when something like this happens to a Devils player, and no doubt it will. And eventually the anger and disgust just won't be worth it anymore.

I will believe McDermid is a deterrent if nothing does happen to any Devils from Rempe on Monday, that is assuming Rempe isn't suspended.

I could make the argument that Lazar got injured because Gudas was getting even after the earlier McDermid hit on him during that Duck game.

If MacDermid does his job he will fight Rempe from the first shift. Multiple times if necessary. Don’t give Rempe a chance to actually play.

 

[Lou is God]

He'll be suspended for Monday at least

Hopefully he'll get a multiple game suspension, if it's just one game he'll sit out tomorrow vs the Canes and suit up against us.

 

[FinnishDevil]

Can we get this stupid piece of shit out of the league already?

My thoughts exactly. Get this idiot out of the league.

 

[My3Sons]

In five years every team will have a Rempe I’m sure it will be great for hockey

 

[NJDfan86]

It’s a min of 5 due to being offered an in person hearing

In the ECHL for sure.

There is no minimum, it just allows them to suspend for more than 5. But realistically it means a long suspension and he is out for Monday.

By rule - you are correct. In practice, they generally do not offer in person hearings unless that threshold will be crossed.

Could end up being brought down by a game or two on appeal but it would be shocking if he plays against a the Devils

yes. Any appeal (if it is 6 or more games) will just impact the money Rempe gets taken away (unless he gets a long 15+ games suspension, which I doubt). The NHL can string out the appeals process where it takes longer than the number of games served. Players can’t play during an appeal

 

[Clam Jensen]

In person hearing for that piece of garbage, good.

 

[Bleedred]

Rempe has gotta be the biggest broke dick in the league.

He already makes pretty nearly league minimum, he mostly plays in the AHL which I’m assuming his salary there is far less, and he keeps losing what little NHL money he makes to suspensions.

 

[My3Sons]

In the ECHL for sure.

It’s a copycat league. It won’t be overnight but teams will pick a few thugs like him in late rounds and they will start filtering up. When they are young and don’t need to pass through waivers it’s an easy thing do do.

 

[guitarguyvic]

How soul-less do you have to be to sleep ok at night getting paid for doing nothing other than giving other people serious injuries.

He’s a kid. He’s being manipulated and all he knows is this is his only chance to have a career. It’s a form of child abuse in my view. I’m all for MacDermid pummeling him as a lesson. Preferably more than once. But the guys who really need the beating are the alleged grownups who have so little respect for the players and the game they send an impressionable kid out there to get CTE knowing he’s just going to try to hurt someone and that he lacks the skill to do so within the rules.
