Useless plug. That’s a scumbag hit. Lined him up the whole way.

Don't think it will be more than 5 games for a suspension, but probably 2+. The amount of dumb on this play grew exponentially when he raised his arm into the back of Heiskanen's neck/head.

More people care to watch him than heiskanen if we’re being completely honest. Fans and especially the casual fan doesnt really care for soft skill players. Hard nosed players who play on the edge are the entertainment
Matt Rempe has played 22 NHL games and has received a major penalty in 9 of those games with 4 of them being a game misconducts.

Here. Im here. He played a great game. Drew 3 consecutive penalties and then got 5 and the gate for being tall. His elbow hit nothing. His forearm hit his back

You have to watch the video with your eyes open to see the elbow
What an absolute moron, and to think some people on this board actually considers him their favorite player....

Can you post a screenshot of an elbow hitting a head? Im not even asking for principle point of contact which is the back. Wont hold my breathe.

No one should do that work for you, it’s clear as day unless you’ve recently run into a Rempe.
This dude is an absolute bozo, the league should be embarrassed to have this shit still happening.

On the other hand, losing your best player changes the trajectory of an entire season and costs a franchise potentially millions of dollars.
Rempe doesn’t have anywhere near the value of a Heiskanen to this league. Even if entertaining, he doesn’t actually sell tickets and whatever small amount of merch he moves is a drop in the bucket compared to a team losing relevance after their 1D gets taken out.
Not a suspension, maybe a fine. Probably could've been a 2 minute minor but Heiskanen was bleeding so I get it.
This is what it looks like when Rempe holds up on a hit. He legitimately tried to take something off that hit.

He hit him from behind, and with an elbow and he’s been suspended before.
He should’ve never put himself in that position

Hopefully we get to see McIlrath do something about it, again. Olivier too

Saw on twitter that if you adjusted rempe’s minutes to “actual nhl player” and not just 4th line plug, he’d have 4 ejections in just over 7 career games.

For a normal player perhaps not, but given his reputation it definitely seems possible
