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.

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.

As far as I can tell, this is basically the whole concept of UFC. And that is more or less mainstream now, so this particular genie is out of the bottle as far as our society is concerned.

But it doesn’t belong in hockey, that’s for sure.

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.

70 grand in the A....but he is the best two-way player in the game today....

two-way as in up and down from the minors! :naughty:

Main board: "If Rempe was 6'2 it wouldn't be a penalty"

If he were 6'2 he'd be playing for the Tuscaloosa Fire Antz
My Rangers fan friend used this exact excuse on me, that it would have hit him in the back if he were smaller. She also said that he got skills coached to him by Kreider and hung out with Jonathan Quick’s son in the offseason. I mean, Tony Soprano loved the ducks in his pond, but his job was still killing people.

I am so goddamn sick and tired of being gaslit by Rangers fans about a player whose only role in the NHL is to commit serious harm to opponents. I couldn’t give less of a f*** if this isn’t how he plays in Hartford. His role down there is to be more skilled. His role in the NHL is to do what we’ve seen from him in almost a quarter of his career games played. This is who he is and it’s not going to change.

If he played for a team other than the Rangers or Bruins, he wouldn’t have seen the light of day after his second offense, at most.

The only thing that friend of mine said that I agreed with is that this is more on management and coaching than the player himself. But because of who the Rangers are and where they play, it’s just so cute and quirky that he got a fight in his first second of playing in the NHL. They’re taking advantage of Rempe and the media narrative. It’s disgusting.

“It’s only a penalty because he’s tall” is not an excuse lmao. The rules don’t change, that just means you gotta be more careful to stay inside them. If a boxer is shorter than his opponent he doesn’t sudddenly get to punch the other guy in the dick.

It’s the return of Pronger Physics, only Rempe isn’t Pronger. :laugh:
