THE OFFICIAL Matt Rempe Fight Club

[JoVel]

I hope there's someone responsible enough in the Rangers organization to tell this guy that he's already made a name for himself, he can now focus on playing hockey instead of punching people on the face every other game. Otherwise he won't be playing hockey beyond his 25th birthday.

24 pages on a most likely career ahler with possible 3rd line upside. Rangers live rent free in so many heads on here.

I mean he doesn't really have much value as a hockey player without the fighting. Been outscored or outpaced by every other regular (including dmen) on your AHL team isn't typically "untapped potential" territory.

Who knows though, Pezzetta has been better at the NHL level than he was at the AHL level and was at one point in our bottom five prospects and now played more NHL games than the majority of said prospects. Paces for 20 points a year playing 7-8 minutes.

Odds are Rempe's ability to stay in the lineup will be entirely dependent on his willingness to fight.

This is what you're taking out of this thread?

I think I disagree. Look how long Steven Seagal has been in the martial arts business. He's way past 25 at this point.

Should I be taking something different away?

A thread with Rangers fans saying, 'this guy is fun and is injecting some physical energy into a team that has been missing it for the most part,' and a whole ton of non-Rangers fans coming in to insult the guy, show faux-concern for his health, or criticize the fact that he hasn't won all his fights.

Why is everyone so concerned about the status of a 4th liner on the Rangers who plays 4 minutes a game?

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

I really like the cut of this guy's jib

Drugs? You know what jib means right

Because we don't want to hear of a successful suicide attempt 13 years from now.

Yes, it would be tragic if he joined the list of <1% of enforcers who have taken their life, but something tells me your bleeding heart comment is not in good faith.

 

[hockwresjj]

Jon Scott comes to mind

Lol. It just might happen. Jon Scott posted on twitter that he'd love to coach Rempe how to fight better.

Rempe needs to learn defense in a fight. You are allowed to block punches and not just with your face. Rempe looks like a gamer and a team player, but he has to learn to be smarter while scrapping, or his hockey career won't be a long one.

No it actually is.
I'm an Oiler fan, got zero hate for the Rangers. Dude is legit fast pacing CTE quicker than anyone.

This is ultimately it. The fact that someone that big and has that long of a reach was getting tagged at will by a guy who was 6-7 inches shorter is alarming. Olivier was landing at will.

Fair enough. My apologies for misjudging you.

All good brother.
Lot of bad faith actors on the forums and internet in general. I question most people too lol

A jib is a triangular sail on a ship.

I'm glad somebody said it.

He has a chance to be a good player in this league. He has phenomenal reach, excellent speed, and good instincts. He does have a mean streak and could be a pain in the ass to play against if he has focus.

He's honestly not a good fighter. He never was a fighter at lower levels. He's just 6'8" and willing to fight to put himself on the map.

Now that he's showing glimpses of being effective at this level, he needs to stop leaning on that.

I'm not saying he can't drop the gloves now and then but he's accepting every challenge from bonafide enforcers and he's really not good at fighting. He's gonna get hurt.

If he can't stick without fighting, then it isn't for him. Making some money in the A is better than being a vegetable.

He should learn from a better fighter than John Scott. Scott's technique was mostly being 6'8" and 260 lbs.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Geerston is a career minor league goon. Not the comparison.

That's what Rempke is going to be exactly.

cut of his jib

"cut of his jib" published on by null.

www.oxfordreference.com

"... It has now come to indicate what someone thinks of a person's appearance or demeanour: ‘I like the cut of his jib’, ‘I like his attitude.’ The term originated in the sailing navies of the mid-18th century, when the nationality of warships sighted at sea could be accurately determined by the shape of their jib long before the national flag could be seen. For instance, French jibs were cut much shorter on the luff than English ones, giving a distinctly more acute angle in the clew."

 

[bov]

Can't be taking bombs in back to back games against the toughest guys in the league. At 21, he'll need to pick his spots now. Nothing to prove at this point, everyone knows he can throw. But against Olivier I was worried for the kid.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Mason geerston 2.0

Nah homie. Mason Geerston was drafted without ever having scored a single goal in junior after parts of 3 years playing in the dub. Matt rempes draft year he had 12 goals and 19 assists for 31 points in 47 games in the dub. Respectfully, I dont think youve ever watched him playing prior to last week

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Pure goon his whole career, kind of insane to see a player like this still make it. Not that I hate it, I'm here for more.
