Rempe elbowing major on Heiskanen (Offered in-person hearing)

[BurnabyJoe7]

Nope. Nothing hit. Refs didnt even have a penalty originally. Heiskanen back playing.

I'll take that bet. Easily worth a game and he has a history. Even with how inconsistent the DOPS is that is a clear attempt to injure.

 

[Troy McClure]

Rempe had already run Bichsel into the boards from behind in the first period, but the refs didn't call it because Bichsel is a huge dude who absorbed it.

Rempe is dirty. Beyond that, he's also stupidly dirty. His hits aren't questionable or on the line.

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

shit looked clean

 

[TheNumber4]

The fact teams still employ these useless bums on their teams in today's nhl is maddening. Rangers are struggling with wins and you play a guy who is a liability from winning you games.

Maybe it’s slipped my mind. But I can only think of one team that employes conpletely useless players who’s sole and only purpose on the ice is to cheap shot and injure so the fragile egos in the Rags organization can feel like real big tough guys.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

This wouldn't be as long of a thread if he weren't on the Rangers, but it was a reckless hit and he has a history. He should be suspended for it.

 

[Bank Shot]

Nope. Could be a wrecking ball, in a non-stupid way (like Chara on D), but he can’t learn.

Chara had talent though.

 

[antman12]

Trash hit by a trash player.

Ps Heiskanen should know better than to have his back completely turned with that POS out there.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Maybe the dumbest player in league history.

 

[Gjman2019]

Wasn't that bad.

 

[vildurson]

Well, this did not take long. Gonna be every game like this from him until suspension comes. Stupid is going to be stupid no matter what.

Watch out for your superstars if you are from opposing team.

Clean hit. Heiskanen faked an injury in a game that was already lost. If Rempe was 3 inches shorter, play on.

Disappointing how soft the league has become.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Rempe should be in prison

League may have become soft but that was a really bad hit all day every day.

If Rempe wasnt 6'8, its 2 minutes. Heiskanen put himself in a bad position and faked an injury. He was on the ice when the game ended.

Ryan Lindgren takes a hit like this once a week and Ranger fans blame him, rightfully so.

There has been plenty of big guys in the league who know how to make legal hits so the height argument doesn't hold water at all.
You can watch the video of the hit in slow motion , Rempe comes in to the hit with his elbow up and hits Heiskanen in the neck/back of the head.

Unless you leave on a strecher after a hit it doesn't mean the player is faking an injury. One can be hurting without needing medical attention.

 

[Terry Yake]

rempe is a throwback to all those useless pylons during the DPE who made their living attempting to injure guys

the league is a much better place without them

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Oversized buffoon

It's a 2 minute penalty.

 

[Herregud]

Horrifying and hilarious watching some Rangers fans do a full pivot on what counts as an acceptable level of physical play. Peak entertainment.

Act like this three seasons ago and they and the organization they cheer for would stop at nothing to call out the league.

Of course that changes when it's coming from your side, I guess.

Violence is a necessary part of hockey, but at least be steadfast and sincere in your beliefs when it comes to what's right and what's wrong.

I do believe Rempe develops differently if he had landed with any other team. Someone needs to burn picks and save this kid.

 

[Romang67]

Garbage play by a garbage player.

No it wasn't. It was a 10 min misconduct and 5 minutes for elbowing.

 

[HTFN]

lol he is absolute trash

 

[McRanger92]

Bad call by the refs

 

[geebster]

If this guy is gonna make himself the new Raffi Torres, go ahead and hit him with enough suspension to force him out of the league. Meme players don’t get to take dirty runs at the best players in the league.

Raffi Torres didnt get suspended til his 11th season in the league. He hit hard but he didnt hit dirty until he slowed down and started catching guys late. Rempe came into the league dirty. been ejected from a fifth of ALL his games played and suspended already. Guy shouldnt be in the league, throw the book at him.

lol when Raffi Torres ain’t low enough, that’s bad. You’re right, funny shit.
