Rempe elbowing major on Heiskanen - Suspended 8 games

[Blackjack]

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

Because the league rewards you for injuring people

Crappy league. They’re so worried about a rookie who hits a little too hard because they don’t want anyone tough in the league and not concerned about why their product is so mediocre and is on the decline year after year. What a sad state of affairs the NHL is

Whatever…

Indeed a crappy league if no-skill bums like Rempe can get in

Pleased by 8 games cause it’s deserved.

Next time, if this happens again, he’ll get 20 give/take depending on the incident.

8 games seems acceptable.
Also lol at people complaining about ”softness”. I enjoy physicality too, but I also don’t want idiots like Rempe ending the career of players like McDavid or MacKinnon by pulling these garbage moves.

Fourth ejection in 22 games

That has to be a record and 8 games for that seems harsh given what others get away with around the league .The dops is as consistent as the refs aka badly inconsistent

They actually got it right here.

The guy is literally a no-talent goon with no redeeming value as a hockey player whatsoever. Imagine if this guy had connected harder and ended the career of one of the best players in the league? He belongs in the LNAH.

The 8 games doesn’t seem harsh it’s hopefully just the NHL realizing how the game is supposed to be played; and slapping the idiots.

Don't worry about me. You just stick to having the day you deserve.

Watched the video, and anywhere between 5 and 10 games would have been appropriate. This is a borderline NHL player who won't change. Either the Rangers will get rid of him or he'll DOPS his way out of the league.

The reactions he elicits, especially from rival fans, despite being a completely ineffective player on the ice? Chef's kiss.

If he were just trolling in the media by talking shit, I'd be with you. However, he's doing very stupid things that could seriously injure people. That's what he does to elicit reactions. To say "chef's kiss" about that is f***ing abhorrent.

I really want to know what Laviolette's train of thought was with this:

"Geez we really suck lately. We can't score, we can't play D and our goalie is struggling with the basic task of stopping pucks. I have an idea! Let's put in a guy who can't do a single thing at the NHL level other than possibly end careers. There's no way we can sink any lower. No way."
