Yep, I agree. Devils who have turned back into a loser organization this year basically went and got a goon because Rempe ran over one of their players. Instead of trading for a couple of veteran defenseman and putting Hughes and Nemec in the AHL where they could develop. Just one of several reasons that team sucks monkey nuts this season.
I was thinking the same thing...You're a 21 year old kid who's had a cup of tea in the NHL so far....don't pull disrespectful shit like that after taking an unnecessary major penalty. You look like a fucking dickhead.
I would keep this kid around. Yeah that was an idiotic play by him. He gets under other team skin. I don't remember the last time since Avery who has had such impact.
He’s a role player, and he will be a reserve player in the playoffs as he MAY be needed. I’d rather have him as an extra forward and not need him than need him and not have him. But that hit was 100% stupid and unnecessary. He will get suspended for it, likely 5 games. He will now have a giant bullseye on him for the officials and they will make sure they call everything on him until he proves he can play the right way.
I’m ok with him doing the wave IF he wasn’t getting thrown out of the game that way he has to fight and answer the bell. Doing that after getting throw out is beer league level stuff. Now the skill players are going to have to have their heads on a swivel. NJ has nothing to lose by playing dirty. We do.
