Bad hit. No question. Hope Heiskanen is ok.

I can't remember a 4th line AHL callup that ever has the effect on the NHL as this guy does. Proff is right here on HF. Good, bad or indifferent. MacKinnon has a thread from yesterday. His thread has 94 replies. He may indeed be the best player in the game right now. But Rempe, who can't skate backwards is getting all the juice once again.

REMPE-EFFECT!
This is another mention of social media impressions vs talent.

The thread is so long because of his blatant disregard for player safety.

It's all negative. SMDH. You are conflating the two. Wow.

Views doesn’t mean much, only replies.
I view nearly every thread on mains, but only reply to some.
Guy won’t last long in the league if he doesn’t figure it out soon, as every suspension will be more than last one.

Hes already been offered an in-person hearing. I can’t imagine he’ll get any less than 5 games, wouldn’t be shocked to see 10+. With his history he realistically probably deserves 15-20, but we know the DoP(e)S doesn’t actually care about the PS part of their name.

I hadn't been aware of that. 5+ then...

Parros frequently gives headshots 1-3 games. So hard to predict with that incompetent fool.

The problem is, in terms of skill level, skating and hockey IQ, Rempe is an ECHL level player. That was fine having a meathead like that in the 1970s and 80s, but it's a different league now. These days, with the speed and skill of the game, we need the heavy hitters to have NHL level skills (and brains).

We definitely do need more big hits and physical play in the league....but it has to be done right. And Rempe ain't it.
We need more Tom Wilsons, Evander Kanes, Alex Ovechkins…

Players that score and play hard… but Reaves and Rempe borderline players that are not part because of their skill should not be in the nhl

I also really like the idea of “random people hitting me up asking if i wanted to go to rangers games to see rempe. People who never watched hockey before.”

“Hey man it’s Andrew, I sat next to you in homeroom freshman year. Anyway, I was wondering if you wanted to join me for the Rangers game tonight? To see Rempe?”
Hey, I don't know you and this is crazy, but here's my number. Let's go see Rempe?

That's the side that was towards the glass. I really hope this is just you trolling and you have a basic understanding of physics that a 2nd grader has.

You should work for an insurance company as their attorney. I'd love for you to argue against someone hitting their head on the steering wheel or dashboard after getting hit from behind. "But your honor, the car hit them in the back."
So again, 2 for boarding? Sure. 5 and the gate for elbowing when he didnt elbow him? Nah

Oh shit. I didn't know about the social media impressions. f***. This should actually be viewed as a clean hit now, guys. Because of social media impressions.
Thats in response to some devils fan who last year used social media impressions to claim fans liked skill more than grit. Then rempe came along and wiped the floor with those impressions. NO ONE cares about miro heiskanen. NO ONE buys tickets or watches games to see him play. People do go out of their way to tune in when they otherwise wouldnt to watch matt rempe.

If rempe wasnt playing last night id be locked in on indiana/notre dame. Rempe played so only watched iu/nd at intermission.

When if ever do we get back to the point where some responsibility is put on players to not admire their passes and stop pressing their faces against the glass thinking no one is allowed to touch them if they do so?

In a vacuum Rempe's hit should be a 2-3 game suspension. However his four game suspension for an elbow just nine months ago means he's getting at least six.
He should be 1 more event from a Raffi Torres suspension, if Parros cared more about actual player safety and less about taking the heat for giving his bosses plausible deniability about caring juuuust enough about player safety to avoid lawsuits and keeping their expensive toys on the ice as much as possible.

If you are going to post insane stuff like this at least capitalise your boy's name.

Wow, so the evidence to support your dumb opinion that people watch games to see Rempe is that you watch games to see Rempe. Cool. Very objective and thorough.

How many Leafs games have you watched this year? Ryan Reaves has played in 23 so I imagined you tuned in for all of those. Reaves is really a can't miss player.
