Rempe elbowing major on Heiskanen - Suspended 8 games

[AchtzehnBaby]

Doesn't belong in the league unless he learns how to stay within the rules.

What if he is sent down which is more likely since he is an awful player? He should playing in the ECHL if anything.

True. But there a lot of other players that don't follow the rules at all.

Kick them all out.

Don't need players that think that injuring a player is part of the job

 

[CanadienShark]

Wow 8 games. No issues, I'm just surprised.

 

[Zerotonine]

Repeat offender

Ok but 8 games considering heskienin skate away after the fact?

 

[Dessloch]

Not sure why he can’t learn to hit hard, without targeting the head.

And why has he still not realized hitting from behind is dangerous and illegal?

 

[algernon]

Was this worse than Reeves knocking Nurse silly?

 

[PlushMinus]

Yes, the guy who drew 3 penalties in the same game he got suspended from can’t play hockey.

Hilarious hearing Devils fans talk about homerism when it comes to Rempe. Your team traded for a plug to deal with him because he rocked a few of your players last season. Your fans are spooked by him.

This is comedy gold.

Your team signed Reaves to deal with Tom Wilson after the "horrifying acts of violence" that had Rangers fans and the front office rending garments and clutching pearls

No mod warning in this thread ?

I’m proud of us

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Interested to see if this works at all.

 

[missionAvs]

I'm luke warm on this. I wanted 10 games but expected the NHL to only give him like 5 games or so. 8 games makes me sort of content. Shitty hit by a shitty player.

That's because 99% of hf essentially agrees it was a bad hit.

 

[Shlep]

I recall some Rangers fans claiming he was good because his analytics looked good over a couple game sample size with very few minutes played and using it to justify him being in the lineup.

The sample size is now more robust and his underlying numbers are awful. What is the justification now?

 

[Coffee]

That's because 99% of hf essentially agrees it was a bad hit.

Still a note worthy feat for us

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Dude doesn't want to learn. Not sure he ever will.

 

[Grifter3511]

Kick them all out.

Agreed. Hit to hurt, not to injure. It's a fine line, but players need to know where it is.

Whats funny (in a not funny sense of the word) is id argue Rempe wasn't trying to hit to injure on this play. He's just a dumbass and that's exactly what he did.

 

[paul9kariya]

Kid's now been suspended for over half the amount of games he's actually played.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Surprised it was 8. Expected 5.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

There is no number of games suspension that fits that behaviour. That is what he is there for and every day of NHL salary is his reward. Without that he never sees the NHL at all.

There needs to be punishment for the coach, GM and team that put him out there. Suspend the coach for as many games as the player gets. Fine the GM that many days pay. Team forfeits 1st rd draft picks.

Was this worse than Reeves knocking Nurse silly?

Reaves played 900 games and has been suspended 4 times. Rempe has played 22 games and been suspended twice. Reaves doesn’t go out and intentionally try to injure players while playing a heavy game. The acts are not what determined the two suspension lengths here.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Dude doesn't want to learn. Not sure he ever will.

He knows. He also knows why he is getting an NHL paycheque.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

How does a team benefit from having Rempe play for them? Struggling to see any positives.

 

[TGWL]

He got suspended for an elbow to the head. This hit had an elbow to the head. Everything else is identical except on this hit it was more numbers. But that's not why he was suspended. Both hits are a clear example of charging or boarding.

https://hockeyresponse.com/nhl-boarding-penalty/

"A boarding penalty occurs when a player pushes, checks, or makes physical contact with a defenseless or vulnerable opponent and sends him dangerously or violently into the boards."

I know the Lybushkin hit was dangerously or violently into the boards because he ended up with a gd concussion on a hit he clearly wasn't ready for by a dude who took more than 4 strides and JUMPED into an elbow to the head.

Both should have been a suspension.

No, he got suspended for multiple violations. They're not the same hit no matter how hars you try to make them comparable. The argument that Rempe should have received a suspension for that hit is a different argument.

Are we supposed to feel bad for him? Lol he plays like a psycho who’s out there trying to scramble brains.

Educate yourself. Especially on slapshots…you might feel like a Newman.
