Pretty much draws or small losses in them all, but the other guys all felt it. His elbow was dirty, but guy is 6'7”. He needs to be more careful than other guys because of his height. He's everything we want Soderblom to be. Wish we could trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephen-gregory-yzerman 59 Report post Posted March 21 I have higher expectations for Soderblom over this scrub. Rempe will be outta the league in a year. The only reason hes there now is because of his size. He sucks. 1 kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,527 Report post Posted March 21 Tough kid, gotta give him kudos for that. I also don't think he'll be in the league long, but if Reaves can have a job for as long as he has then who knows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would normally agree with the "This guy won't be in the league long" schtick, but I think this guy is a different breed. People LIKE this guy. And by people, I mean EVERYBODY - even his opponents. I watched Reaves get interviewed, and you could tell what was in Reave's mind, even thought he didn't want to say it - the torch has been passed. This guy is it now. And Rempe isn't just some scrub that doesn't have any value outside of his fighting. He's a centerman that the Rags are seeing good things from when he just plays hockey. 30 hits in 10 games. He's the EXACT kind of guy we need. https://www.lohud.com/story/sports/nhl/rangers/2024/03/20/rangers-matt-rempe-addresses-suspension-fighting-challenges-and-more/73042726007/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason hes there now is because of his size. He sucks. Several years ago I would've made the argument that you cannot undervalue toughness on the roster, but the way the game is today this kid will have to do more than just run guys and fight...Don't get me wrong - I appreciate what he brings, but chances are he'll likely spend more time on the bench, or in the press box once the playoffs begin.

Respect it, but both probably end up as AHLers cause theyre not very good hockey players. Only difference with Rempe is he's HUGE so maybe he has more staying power than a 6' Gadovich. I'm still of the opinion that if you want a tough guy, get a Wilson type. Someone who can bang and play. Any regard big guy in the bottom 6 can fight if they wanna be cool for a minute.
