THE OFFICIAL Matt Rempe Fight Club

[WhatTheDuck]

Should be looking at his first suspension honestly. That was a pretty bad hit, surprised it wasn't called a five on the ice.

why?

 

[Divine]

I suspect the league would rule that the visor is a part of the helmet and therefore the same rule would apply to the visor.

Sure, a visor is part of the helmet but it's not the entire helmet.

Keep the helmet on, remove the visor. Problem solved.

"I'm gonna say that you thought what I think you thought, but didn't say or imply and use that as proof that you don't know rules!"

Regarding the "proof", the poster in question confirmed my interpretation (post #871).

It's cool. You're mad about...the hit? Something on the homefront? Whatever. If you need to take it out on me, I'm here for you. PM me. I'll be the Betty White to your Bea Arthur.

Rebutting a claim of charging is not an implication? What are you even posting for? It's because you thought it wasn't charging because his feet were on the ice, which isn't true cause it isn't the rule. Then you started saying some nonsense to other about spreading misinformation, when it was you spreading it.

Post 871 doesn't show anything because it was AFTER (post 867) you tried to rebuttal the claim of charging by say "his feet were on the ice when contact was made". You keep ignoring or flat out lying (post 879) that another poster brought up the feet on the ice. No, you did!

You're like a flat earther who has the facts laid out then says "I didn't say the earth was flat, I said it wasn't round!!!"

I love you think I'm mad, I can't stop laughing at your denial of ignorance.


Last thing since you can't cover it, what was the b.s. about him spreading misinformation? What did they say that was misinformation. And remember, before you lie again, they never brought up the feet on the ice, you did.

You don't need a screwdriver.

Players don’t wear motorcycle helmets,
Show how long it takes with a hockey helmet.
No one has ever done it in a game, and there have been hundreds if not thousands of fights with visors on.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

why?

Left his feet and absolutely rang Lyubushkin's bell with his elbow/forearm

 

[Kerberos]

He's the most talked about player in the league right now. Not Mathews, not Bedard. Or McDavid or Nathan or Jack.

Don't believe this to be true but if it is/was, a prime example of why Hockey is a niche sport that borders on irrelevance.

He might even be the most talked about player in ANY league over the past week, no?

lol. This is definitely an attempt at a copypasta, you got me.

Its been a rule since 2013. That's why you see older guys not having it. It was grandfathered in....

I’m not saying to remove it during the game. Only prior to the fight if you’re fighting someone without it or you both mutually agree to remove yours.

 

[General Fanager]

Left his feet and absolutely rang Lyubushkin's bell with his elbow/forearm

meh...debatable. His momentum might have cause him to leave his feet. As for the elbow/forearm. the guy is 12 feet tall.....

I can see both sides on the hit tbh....

Like I said, its a part of the helmet so the league would likely apply the unsportsmanlike rule to taking it off.

 

[Enniskillen]

Boosh is an honest Russian bear, he went down and got up immediately, players like Colton or Krug would have wriggled and moaned on the ice, trying to get refs attention.

I doubt the league views the visor as the same as removing a helmet.

Just ban fighting if you want players to punch each others visors. One day the full face mask is going to be mandatory and people will argue the visor was grandfathered in so the new enforcer doesn’t have to remove his Bedard style full face shield during a fight while fighting a guy with a visor.

 

[GG96]

He should get a game or two for that dirty charge and headshot, but because it was towards a Leaf player he probably wont get anything.

His 2nd headshot in his short career. Already making a name for himself as a dirty player

Again. What is the point of the willful lies? The first one was so egregious that he wasn’t fined or suspended. And this one he wasn’t even penalized.

Your feelings don’t make a substantive argument.

They will never ban fighting...The players want it and so do the fans.

Imagine two players fighting with a full face mask.

Don’t think too many fans want to see that.
Whoever injures their hand first loses the fight.

That is also a rule. Only injured players are permitted to wear a full visor....

You try to fight a guy that wear a full visor that makes you an moron and that's not the league problem...

 

[JoVel]

He’s an adult fully aware of what he is doing and what’s at risk.

Is he? He's 21. Anyone over the age of 30, or probably even 25 will tell you they were an absolute idiot at 21 years old with no idea of anything.

... unless they're still idiots of course.

1-taking 5 stride to hit someone is called charging

2-he jumping to hit lyubushkin

3-main point of contact was head so it was an illegal hit to the head.

its was clearly a 5min uncall no kind of doubt abiut it. Should be a susprnsion but dont have any faith in nhl security department...

 

[BraveCanadian]

I give it 5/5 on the Scott Stevens scale.. Rempe did a good job of making sure to get him right in the bean. Absolutely should have been a penalty and should be a suspension.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Now you’re making stuff up, injured players can wear full visors that’s it, like Bedard with a broken jaw.

 

[Divine]

Currently, yes. Just like visors were optional. The NHL will move to the full face mask one day and grandfather in the visors.

I hope people don't argue that the guy with the full face mask shouldn't have to remove it. That's the same as saying the guy with the visor shouldn't have to remove it when fighting someone without one.

Whether he still has some of the idiocy of youth in him might be debatable, but he’s unquestionably an adult who can make his own career decisions.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Where’s the video, OP says “not found” for me.

 

[Divine]

I didn't make anything up. I said imagine two players fighting with a full face mask.

One day it'll be mandated. The players were also adamantly against visors initially.

1. Players take strides on almost every hit.

2. momentum might have caused this....

3. Initial point of contact was the shoulder....

Even is it was charging calling it suspension worthy is laughable......
