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 136 Report post Posted March 21, 2024 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 8,756 Report post Posted March 21, 2024 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.

Not like a guy that big coming at you isn't noticeable. I think Rempe got a penalty for that hit but it was a minor. Big boys make big collisions happen.

kipwinger 8,756 Report post Posted April 29, 2024 Lots wrong with that play. Rempe's hit was probably not illegal...but it was most definitely predatory. Most guys don't follow through on a hit like that because they're not trying to actually injure guys. That said, TVR needs to not admire his pass. Rempe is huge and barreling down on him and TVR is completely unaware because he's watching his pass. Playoff hockey for you. 1 AtlantaHotWings reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But like you said, playoff hockey. But the fact remains that this guy is an absolute MONSTER. You better have your head on a swivel when you play the rags. Rempe is coming.

I think In their prime Probie/Joey/Domi/Brashear would be hard pressed fighting this kid. Dude is HUGE and has the attitude of willing to do what it takes. I would love if he was wearing the Winged Wheel as he is a HUGE flyswatter for the stars less liberties taken with Larkin with this dog on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This kid aint scared of Wilson. Tom should consider himself lucky that he has no black eyes while hitting the links. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
