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

Some dinosaurs can't accept the fact that the NHL has changed dramatically over the years. Sadly the Rangers as an organization hasnt figured out how to find much success in any of the eras. But having guys like Rempe in the lineup and playing 5 minutes a game because he is either in the penalty box or getting ejected for dumb decisions is not a winning formula. He brings the physical presence that the team has lacked for years but he needs to play smarter to provide any return on that equity.

 

Rempe is a moron but 8 games is more dickless Parros and Bettman Rangers hatred.

 

How long did it take CK to stop running into goalies? Young players make mistakes, I would have to think Rempe holds the record for quickest repeat offender designation. The longest suspension handed out by the NHL in 6 years for a hit that the guy popped right up from. Even Brooks was up in arms enough to write an article about the need for appeal. The only thing that has changed over the decades in the NHL is the size of the players, every Cup winner has a Rempe or two. Florida added Tkachuk and Bennet, Vegas is a team of maulers, Tampa won nothing until adding Maroon. The Rangers are the dinosaurs thinking the physical part of the game can be circumvented via finesse and speed when no team has won with that formula. Bottom line is if Rempe was on any other team it's 2 games, if he's on another team and the hit is on a Ranger it's zero games/no hearing/lucky to get 2 minutes.

 

Young players make mistakes, veteran players make mistakes....everyone makes mistakes. Smart players learn from their mistakes on their own. Others have to get multiple multiple-game suspensions to learn (hopefully). Others never learn.
8 games is definitely too much and will be appealed and maybe dropped to 6 games (which is still too much if you ask me but it will be what it will be).
No one here is saying the best way to win a Cup is with all skill and finesse, not sure where you're getting that impression from. However, trying to equate Rempe to Tkachuk and Bennet (and even Maroon) is just a bit of a stretch and we should leave it at that. Just a bit.....
The Rangers definitely need a better plan for bringing that physical presence. Rempe doesn't do much good if he is playing 5 minutes a game and taking penalties/getting suspended. He needs to recognize the league is watching him more closely than any other player in the league and play smarter.

 

I think it's an emotional reaction to hate on Rempe, obviously he has to play smarter like every rookie especially with his size advantage. Granted we're just pecking away on keyboards but it's ballsy to declare a guy not fit for the NHL after a third of a season especially when his game has improved and the Rangers lineup stinks. I'd rather get a longer look, the guy has had a tough road unlike many of our pampered players, lost his dad at an early age and overcame many obstacles to get to the NHL. I'm always pulling for guys that had to work to succeed over the preordained especially when the NHL clearly is singling him out.

Just as an example of what Dump and I have written keep an eye on whether Kucharov gets suspended for a blatant kneeing major on Tkachuk and Boston's Wahlstrom who also took a 5 minute major for an ugly boarding penalty.

 

No one is hating on Rempe....all we have been saying is he needs to use his head and understand he is under a microscope and to give an extra second's thought when he is lining up a guy for a big hit when his back is turned....its not too much to ask. I'd rather have Rempe out there to deter some of the douchebags on the other teams. Notice how last night the Devils played extra scumbaggy knowing there was no one there to discourage them.

 

The fact of the matter is Bennett has hurt more players the past 2 years than Rempe and has had jack shit done to him. Bettman and Parros know Dolan thinks they are retards and I'm sure Dolan has told other owners the same thing. Honestly, it's time to replace Bettman. He is useless.

 

I would risk JD being mad at Dolan and make him commissioner.

 

Rangers fans should be thrilled that we finally have a guy to protect the talent, even over the hill Reaves was effective at deterring cheap crap from opponents.

 

3 games for McDavid. Seems about right. Repeat offender now.

 

Parros that pussy lol

 

McDavid should demand the Kucharov treatment and appeal. As bad as Parros is Colin Campbell was way worse especially with the Rangers.

 

Bettman is such an arrogant tool he can't accept criticism by anybody. Especially owners. He's also so arrogant that he can't admit that Parros is a walking clusterfuck and is unfit at his job like Dolan said he is. He especially can't admit that few people give a fuck about hockey who aren't die hard fans of a team if the Rangers aren't good and playing deep in the playoffs. Which makes it even more pathetic that he kisses the ass of organizations like Pittsburg and Washington who nobody other than a few morons give two shits about.

 

Marchand takes off his glove and grabs Cozens by the throat a few nights ago - great imagery Bettman - and faces nothing despite being one of the dirtiest players of this era with suspensions begrudgingly handed out to the Rat. Imagine if Rempe had grabbed someone by the throat?
