They won those games with him playing 6 or less minutes every night. It does nothing to “prove” that more minutes would’ve resulted in more success no matter how much word salad you’re throwing at it.
Defending a lead, trying to get the tying goal, etc… are all completely unknown commodities when it comes to Rempe and that, too, is a fact and “irrefutable logic”.
the bold indicates you are too lazy or arrogant or both to make an effort to honestly address the pt.
Even if you say Ros + Wenn were otherwise ok defensively [obv they contributed close to zilch offensively] they did zero to take the wind out of the Cats' sails, which the eye test confirms. No reason Rem does not get those mins except stupid coach irrationally favoring vets over youth. None.
If Rem/line had played mo mins, the other lines would have been better rested. Not by a huge amount, but arguably enuf to = impact/make a dif.
This professional wordsmith does not have to suffer your aspersions of 'word salad' when actual objective points are being made to support subjective arguments.
I'll check back in a wk or so to see if you have any constructive input, otherwise, buh-bye.
You don't contest anything.
You state your opinion then call yourself correct.
So yes, my dismissive brush off is effective.
Dressing him was a waste because he didn't provide enough.
We had 2 injured defenseman and would've been better served dressing a 7th to give them a rest and have a good puck moving dman in there to combat FLA's forecheck.
Bern wrong yet again
bold:
(1) I do not merely anoint myself as correct as you allege.
I take pains to substantiate my position, unlike you, and apparently others, here.
What I said about Rempe was substantiated by video played by Mess on TNT.
(2) He provided enough, and arguably what he did would have been even more effective w/mo mins b'c wear and tear he dishes out w/physical play would have been cumulative, and the more the Panthers were subject to it, the better our position longer into the duration of the game.
It is not, as you erroneously allege, that he was not dressed b'c he did not produce [sufficiently]; he was not more fully productive b'c he was not given full opportunity to play b'c coach wrongly choice vets > youth
Lavi did not listen to bern, and got burned.
underline: that is a fair point to raise as an argument; however, it must now be subject to scrutiny.
Better rested D yes, but how effective would 5'11 + 175 lbs Jones be vs crushing checks from FL.
Jones is a good skater but he's not Leetch/Orr level skating.
A couple of good hits into the boards and there is no guarantee he would not be literally worse for wear.
Also, have you considered what happens when you commit to a Jones in terms of clearing the crease?
At least Rempe was good there, after his primary responsibility of board work
conclusion: Jones for Gust, who showed age/lack of energy as things continued, that is worthy of discussion
not Jones for Rempe
