Rempe penalty for being Rempe

[Shlep]

I think Rempe is a menace but I don't think that was a bad hit.

It's called boarding. "The puck was there", "His elbows were down", "The hit wasn't to the numbers" ... None of these have anything to do with boarding.

I dont think you know what Boarding means.

It doesnt have to be from behind to be a boarding penalty.

Watching Matt Rempe play in the NHL is like when WCW let David Arquette win a championship belt, lots of " WTF is this shit ".

You're too old to be talking about pro wrestling like it isn't a work of fiction.

You take that back. There’s adults that believe wrestling is real just like Santa Claus and Bettman being anti Canada.

Didn't see a thread on this one... but Rempe took a penalty yesterday for... I'm not sure what?



The puck was there, his elbows were down, the hit wasn't to the the numbers... no idea.

Seems pretty clear to me. He hit a guy who did not have the puck. What's the confusion about?

If Panarin or Lafreniere throw that hit maybe the ref gives them the benefit of the doubt and doesn’t call anything. They have a rep for being fairly clean players. So yeah Rempe, you’ve earned your rep and refs won’t give you the same benefit of the doubt as a clean player. That said, by the letter of the law, that’s a penalty whether the ref chooses to call it or if they ‘let the boys play’.

It was a 2 min boarding call, no fine, no suspension. There really is no discussion here.
