That’s more than I expected but it’s correct. Can’t be doing that.
Fair.
Free him. Now the Canes dirty players are going to try to abuse the Rangers tonight since he and Trouba aren’t playing.
this means he comes back next week against WPG and misses the game against the islanders, which honestly, may be a good thing especially if the game got heated.
he deserves the suspension, i dont think we have much room to complain here. line up wise, this means Brodz is back on the 4th line w goodrow and vesey.
This is fair. I don’t think he went into that hit thinking he was gonna injure Siegenthaler but you can’t just throw up an elbow when you’re gonna miss a hit.
Not really sure Lavi is going to give him another chance this season.
Makes sense to be, I was 50/50 on it being three or five, so I’m not bitching and moaning that he got four. Hopefully getting read the riot act and put in time out will stick it head on straight going forward.
Seems fair.
My gut was telling me 5 games when watching it live, so this seems reasonable to a bit light imo. Love the kid’s energy/size and hopefully he takes this as a lesson of when/how to not use his energy and size. He has injured two players already on bad hits and this lesson might end up being a blessing in disguise to his career longevity.
To anyone complaining about the length – this is actually on par with what the DoPS handed to Gallagher earlier this season for pretty much the same exact type of hit. Gallagher got 5 games. Both Rempe and Gallagher didn’t have a suspension history at the time of ruling
should be 3 max, but we’ll live.
In the end I’m okay with this… Mainly cause I’m going to the Winnipeg game. And I can see him in my one game a year.
I figured he would get 3. I think he deserved 5. 4 games is perfectly fine.
Let’s hope he learns his lesson, comes back, and plays physical within the rules.
This subreddit is surprisingly tame and civilized about this.
I love Rempe and his excitement toward the game, but hopefully, this teaches him a lesson. I don’t want to have dirty players on this team. You can be tough and not stupid. He needs to focus more on his hockey, and less on his fighting and cheap shots.
Wow. Possibly a bit much, the tin foil hat wearer in me wonders if this could be Parros going back to the Wilson incident (and the public statement), saying « You want me to do my job, I’ll do my job » and hitting us.
***BUT*** there’s no way I can make the argument that it isn’t a deserved suspension. It’s a strong message to Rempe that he needs to be careful in his he plays the game or there will be consequences. Heck it could just as much be « We gave you a pass before with no supplemental discipline, you lost your good will and now you get the hammer. » And that’s not undeserved.
Here’s hoping he sits his 4 games, learns his lesson, takes some words of wisdom from Trouba on how to play heavy but without suspensions, and comes back for the end of the season where they will keep him on a tight leash to see how viable he will be for the playoffs.
I was off by 1 game. I expected 3. People act like DOPs is so inconsistent. They are but they’re predictably inconsistent
Seems about right, I thought he would get 2 but 4 makes sense. Hopefully he learns from it and keeps his elbows tucked in the future.
ok, bring back 2nd tree – Edström
That feels a little excessive for a first offense, but maybe this is the reality check Remper needs to become a complete player. He’s had a legendary start to his NHL career, and if he wants to continue having one, he needs to learn how to contain the physical play. To do that, you need to stay in the lineup. I think he’ll come out of this suspension with the lesson learned.
He’ll fight MacDermid on April 3rd and hopefully that’ll be the end of it.
He’ll be just fine with some time to change a bit
Sucks to lose him but his face needs a break. Rangers will unironically miss him as he is actually a solid player thus far eye test and advanced stat wise
Can’t hate it, makes sense. Hopefully he learns to tuck that arm in
Not that it isn’t deserving but Wilson gets $5k for cross check to the back of someone’s neck and then slamming Panarin’s head into the ice
I’m curious if he will managed to get into the line up again after serving those 4 games
I wanted two but I’m sure there’s bias from me considering I’m a fan even though I try extremely hard to be aware and curb it. It’s fine, I just want him ready to go for the last game against the devils.
Kinda feel like they’re adding on the other hits everyone freaked out about on this. Been a long time since we’ve seen a first offense 4 game elbow…and there’s been more egregious cases.
Thought he’d get 2 but it does seem fair if they are taking the prior hits into account.
Lavi said he lifted the elbow to brace himself but it seems we all agree this is a good lesson for him to learn now.
If that not gonna teach him nothing will
I’m going to the Rangers / Penguins game on Saturday and I really wanted to start a Rempe chat. 😂😭
Ouch! I was expecting 2 or 3. Let’s hope the kid learns from this. Hit hard, but hit clean.
So long as he’s back for the Bruins game, I’m fine
