1. As Caps fan I think Rempe is a dying breed and no longer useful in NHL but I didn’t think there was anything malicious about the hit. It’s no different than many boarding calls we see in every game.

2. Caps should trade like Lapierre for Savard for old times sake

3. That Rammstein sweater is 🔥

4. I feel like there needs to be a way for the league to suspend players for like an entire season with pay. I feel like that is the only way to protect the players that are there because they're actually good at hockey. And that cap ofc would be dead weight.

5. Should be 20 games. 5 game for elbowing, 5 games for from behind, 5 games for getting off his feet, 5 games for to the head.

6. Dallas floppers lmao

7. Rempe has played 22 NHL games and he’s gotten kicked out of 4 of them! That’s an 18% boot rate!

8. He's just a Terrible player, no control

9. Rempe being Rempe.

10. 45 years a Ranger fan here. Suspend Rempe for 30 games and take care of this punk before he literally paralyzes someone.

11. That Rammstein sweater says "a tree burns" lol obviously a play on Mein Herz Brennt

12. Isn’t it one of the responsibilities of the coach to put players in best position to be successful? There is talent on the Sabres but just no confidence or able to work through inevitable bumps in a game. Would love to see Tort coach the Sabres for 2 weeks. What a transformation that would be. Adams is too worried about how it would look for him to can Lindy. Do what is best for the team, not you personally. Frustrating.

13. It's like the movie Madagaskar where animals escape from the zoo. This time it's ape called Rempe.

14. I've always felt that if you're in the penalty box and you're not serving a bench minor, goals scored on your team should effect your plus/minus. Buffalo will be forced to do some kind of a retool soon because they're so far along the latest rebuild that the young stars they drafted are aging into where you have too many RFAs you can't afford to sign and nothing to show for years of terrible roster management. The Sabres problems start with ownership and their "secret" internal cap, not with palm trees, because I don't remember a lot of palm trees in Winnipeg.

15. Ottawa winstreak!!

16. Rempe needs to be tossed out of the league before he kills someone period

17. I'm so happy for Laine, with a tough time last year and his injury in the preseason, this must be a relief for him. I wish him so much success. He is a super nice guy, the fans here love him.

18. Rempe is just Matt Trouba

19. Shame on the Rangers for playing Rempe

20. Love the Rammstein sweater

21. Rempe, in one hit, boarded, elbowed, checked from behind, and left his feet in doing so. If the NHL doesnt suspend him then it's a BS Department of Player Safety. I'll call it ten games.
    The NHL HAS to look at it like "You want to turn somebody into a quadraplegic because you cant control your enthusiasm? Not in our league."
    Rempe could break somebody's neck with a hit like that and then the leagues insurance gets into it…….. and then it gets serious.
    If it was Tom Wilson he would probably get 20+ games suspension, because of prior history. Rempe has been ejected 4 times in his 22 NHL appearances. That's a terrible ratio and shows a tendancy towards dirty play.
    The NHL has to respond in kind.

22. That Rempe hit was so soft. He was skating so slow.

23. Clean hit… Generation cry baby

24. Get Rempe out of the nhl

25. Rempe would have been great in the movie slap shot. But not in the NHL. He’s just in there to hurt someone.

26. With regards to the Vanecek injury, sometimes backup goalies are told to track different things (faceoffs, shots, zone entries, etc) to keep them engaged in the game in case they have to go in. Of course that can lead to situations like this one where you're not looking up when the puck deflects onto the bench. I don't know if that was the situation here, just a potential explanation.

27. they punish Rempe but let Sam Bennett get off with another nasty hit last night on Jake Neighbours

28. I saw a stat that Rempe has been ejected four times in the 22 games he’s played in the NHL. That should speak volumes about the whole situation.

29. Rempe is a waste of a roster spot. The Rangers are a mess and I am glad.

30. Sure, I’m a Ranger fan of many years, but this kid needs to go !

31. 4 ejections in a 22 game career should tell you he's not good for player safety. Absolute goon, I love gooning to an extent but intending to injure anyone and everyone in your path is not cool. Play the puck for once eh?

32. Rempe averages 5 minutes when he plays,cant skate,looks lost,and is guaranteed to put your team on the pk.Complete waste time

33. Suspende

34. Is that a rammstein jersey ? That is sick!

35. Rempie hit: elbow, hit to the head, semi charging and boarding all in one go. He knows he's not coming back, might as well take someone out with him 🤦‍♂️

36. I'm sick of Matt Rempe. The league is better without having enforcers. I hate how they advertised him practicing fighting with Georges Laroque then he does dirty plays like this during games. I hate him in the league. I hate how we are waiting for him to paralyze someone as if there's something noble about him hurting people.

37. I’m a Rangers fan but please get Rempe out of the NHL. I hope there is a massive suspension for him.

38. A thought experiment that will never happen, but would apply with the Rempes and Reaves of the world: instead of suspensions, make their teams have them lead x number of games in ice time, or they forfeit the game. Suspending a stiff like Rempe doesn’t hurt the Rangers, it helps them realize how useless he is.
