Rempe elbowing major on Heiskanen - Suspended 8 games

[Czechboy]

So the Rangers traded Kakko and called up Rempe? That's a bold move.lol

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Can't complain about Jacob Trouba anymore, and it's only a matter of time before Rempe realizes pro hockey isn't for him. What on earth will people whine about then?

People and casual fans pay money to go to games and tune in on tv to watch rempe. You wont find 1 single casual sports fan who says they wanna watch hockey because of miro heiskanen. Rempe is great for the sport, the very online crowd just hates admitting it

It seems like big hits and suspension worthy hits will always get a ton of posts

Still one of the most embarrassing things in the NHL the last twenty years. That statement is just wild

 

[nucks88]

Brutal hit.....not holding my breath to see if the clown show that the NHL has become doles out the correct level of punishment....

Rempe has 126.9 minutes of TOI in his career. He also has 95 PIM. What a joke.

 

[bleachdrinker]

Look at which player lead the league in social media impressions last year despite only playing what 17 games? I had random people hitting me up asking if i wanted to go to rangers games to see rempe. People who never watched hockey before.

Rempe is so so so so much better for the sports than scrawny skill guys doing michigans

You’re right, the league should consider adding “social impressions” to the nightly box score so we know where he’s contributing. Maybe an “s-Imps/60” advanced stat?

The more I think about it, the more this is a 1000 IQ play by Drury. Bring up Rempe, have him do something stupid to take the focus off the team's actual play on the ice, let them fly under the radar for like 2 days. Then he gets a 7 game suspension and you're screwed, but still a small reprieve.

 

[T REX]

Yet there are 31 other teams that would kill to have a Rempe in the organization

That is quite an achievement. Imagine and extrapolate that ratio over 15 seasons career...

Fortunately, I think neither of those numbers are gonna increase much anymore. What a fool!

The funny thing is going to the Rangers site and seeing a bunch of them defending this guy and saying he is a valuable player for the team . The guy could commit mass murder and he would be defended no matter what by 'some" of their fan base .

He would be defended by the fans of any other team if he played for any other team, and you know it.

Those pearls can't take much more, man.

no he’s not. Rempe is a 6’7” golden retriever who plays recklessly. Calling him a classless piece of shit is unhinged and bizarre

“Classless POS” is actually a pretty common descriptor for guys who play 5 mins a game and routinely get ejected/injure people. Not sure I’ve ever heard someone refer to one of those players as a “golden retriever” though.

 

[SEALBound]

He's kinda reached that Tom Wilson level where the DOPS may have to say "How many games do we have to give you before you "get it"?"

There's not a hockey alive that doesn't know what hit is wrong and that you don't do that. Completely unnecessary and completely avoidable.

I say 10 games.

Not true. Maybe a small portion. That would be true of any fan base. By and large, some of us try to be objective. I've definitely called Kuch out for being ridiculous when he has one of his tantrums. I'll call it like I see it.

I would not want that POS on my team and I certainly would not defend that crap behavior.

JBB would never have trash like that on the team. Cooper wouldn't have him on the ice either.

That's a Rangers problem. Don't assume every org is run like NYR. They are not.

. Rempe is a 6’7” golden retriever

I can't even take this seriously. Too many funny gif's but not even worth the effort.

I rate this post 4 out of 4 come on man's.

What an insult to all the amazing Goldens out there. SMDH.

 

[HanSolo]

Absolute garbage hit.

Hot damn, imagine how many impressions he would get if he committed felonies during the game! What if he killed someone, EVERYBODY would be talking!

What a great mentality for building a business.

And yet the game is more popular than ever. I suspect those who come for the hits and fights were never likely to be more than casual fans who go to a couple games a year anyway.

That's like, your opinion man.

It's hard to quantify that. SCF last year was very highly ranked, but overall many numbers are not as impressive. Also certain statistics don't show last years playoffs as being the best with viewership much higher in 2013-2015.

We'll never know since no other team is dumb enough to put him on nhl ice.

I'm sure you remember Matt Cooke very fondly, though.
