Let's see what the Rangers hating NHL does with Rempe

I still find it amusing how many Rangers got cheap shotted over the years and the pussy NHL did nothing about it. Panarin. Lindgren with Pastrcock twice. It goes on and on. Parros is an incompetent, cluster fuck. The fact our retard commissioner keeps him is not a surprise. Bettman is a dumbass.

 

I figure they give Ogie four games.

 

So far this year only Reaves has received a 5 game suspension for his hit on Nurse.

 

Over/under 4.5 games....take your pick.

 

If Rempe was wearing a Pens jersey - zero games, 2 minute minor

 

Ogie gets 4 games.

 

Who is ogie

 

That is my nickname for Rempe after Ogie Oglethorpe from slap shot. Essentially, they’re almost the same player.

 

4 games is fair. Smarten up, Rempe.

 

Tempe gets 6 games. Bullshit suspension

 

Check that. Actually 8 games. Total bullshit as neither ref even called a penalty on the play

 

Bullshit or not bullshit, fair or not fair, targeted by the refs or not targeted by the refs, quite frankly it is all irrelevant. It is what it is with Rempe, and as long as he continues to not understand the situation he is in with his game and the refs, he cannot be a regular in the lineup for this team when they are actually playing for something. The rest of this season who gives a s*it who is in the lineup as the team is done anyway.

 

And BTW, that hit by Rempe was a joke. That is exactly the hit the NHL says they want to get out of the game. Whether Rempe slowed up or not, which I am not sure he did, that was a disgusting cheap hit by Rempe. The guy needs to learn how to play clean tough hockey before he expects to ever be a regular in the lineup. If a Ranger got hit like that, you'd all be flipping out.

And whether or not the NHL is consistent on how they dish out their punishment (which they are not - they are a disgrace), or if they are fair or not to the Rangers, doesn't change the absolute cheapness of Rempe's hit. Two wrongs don't make a right.

 

8 games. It appears that the NHL is already sick of him.

 

Bennett cheap shots a player every month doesn’t get anything.

 

Rempe has played 22 games, shocking that he's still making rookie mistakes. The imbalance in NHL punishment against the Rangers continues.

 

He's played 22 NHL games....he's been playing hockey virtually all of his life. You don't need years of NHL experience to know how to avoid taking avoidable penalties.

 

You Satherites seem more uncomfortable with Rempe in the lineup than the NHL. I would hope that suspension is appealed and reduced, I agree with Lav, had Rempe hit the guy full force as some of the hysterical banter has suggested Heiskaknen would have been stretchered off the ice. This hit doesn't even crack the top 10 dirtiest NHL plays this year, the only thing over the top in this ordeal is the punishment.

 

If Rempe learned how to control himself and play the right way, I think he can be a good asset on the 4th line. The issue is he has not been able to do that, and it hurts the team. As I see it, it's 100% on Rempe to get it together and learn how to play tough physical hockey, but within the rules. There is a line that you can stagger and even slightly cross from time to time, Rempe has not learned how to do it the right way thus far.

That hit against Dallas was egregious, and he needs to know better at this point. Hopefully for his sake, and the team's sake, he gets it, because he can be an asset if he does.
