Dirty hit.

Lined him up from behind.
He could have taken a different angle, but didn't.

Forearm makes contact with the base of his neck making this an illegal check to the head and neck area.

Repeat offender = 5 game suspension

Are we really taking the angle that people tune in to see this guy? It's pretty embarrassing. Nobody outside of a loud minority has any interest in seeing him play.
If last year proved anything - if Rempe is going to fight every other night, the people will watch.

This years version, not so much. Rempe needs to get back to throwing hands and keeping his elbow tucked.

Repeat offenders should simply have the length of previous suspension added to whatever they decide for the current suspension. Call it the Rempe Rule, as the league shouldn't have any time for talentless hacks like him.
Don't they kind of do that now? Just different proportions? Repeat offenders will almost alyways have a worse punishment than the previous time.

Piece of shit. Change sports to fighting or become a criminal you f*cking goon trash *ss player from Rangers.

How is it possible to allow his demeanors for this long. Should get a ban for 6 months or something so this bum can try to learn something instead of repeating the same shit all over again.

Sure Heiskanen is the most important player with Barkov for Finland in this upcoming tournament but it's not because of that, it's because of his and others health and the future well being for other sportsmen. This kind of behavior is considered as assault in general life and most other team sports. The dude either needs to get a ban or beaten up.

Repeat offender takes 18 months into account iirc.
Rempe had 120 minutes of ice time…So like two games with some OT for a goalie.
I‘d give him 10 games because obviously he doesn‘t get it.

I agree he doesn't "get it", but everyone should be treated the same when it comes to discipline.

We always say we want more consistency from the league.

Just because I feel like he's a lost cause doesn't mean I will advocate for him being handed 40 games for this particular incident.

Now, if he does receive the 10 games you're suggesting, I think it's a little too much, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

5 to 8 seems right to me.

In-person meeting via Zoom. Makes sense.
Are the in-person's done in ny? If so wtf?

Eh, im in my 30’s. Been watching hockey my whole life. The product has fallen off a cliff. The soft euros arent entertaining. The theo fleurys, sean averys, matt barnabys and matt rempes are.
Yeah 4-6 mins a game
4 majors 3 pts

Sure players should be treated the same, but point me to one other player that has been kicked out of 4 of the 22 games they have played, or about once every 30 minutes of ice time.

Also, he is never going to learn when Lav is quoted saying that the team feeds off him. Just keep doubling the time he is suspended until he learns or is out of the league before he hurts someone real bad.

I can't believe I honestly read something to the tune of "well it wasn't the elbow it was the forearm, and it wasn't on the head but the 'shoulder'" (so really... neck) like that isn't exactly how wrestlers try for slam knockouts in MMA.

that hit was destined to bounce someone's head off the glass and from behind, this small little pocket of trolls is seriously disappointing.

Rempe is all evil brute sneak attack energy.

This is the sort of person who will keep brute thugging until he is put down. If someone evil brute thug attacked him in any context I'd shrug.

That's a fair take. But giving him more than 10, I think, is not fair.

Outside of Fleury (who had his moments, especially once he joined the Rangers) i would argue that those guys are all clowns and really what he should be watching is the circus.

NYR fans are delusional. Check in the numbers near the board, extends his arm at the opponents neck. Clear intent to injure. Thats boarding + check to the head and some blind ppl call that a legal hit?
Rempe is also as stupid as you can be doing this. Before this incident he actually played ok and draw penalties. You have to be dumb as a rock to then do this, when you actually got a chance to play in the big league again.
