Matt Rempe hit on Nathan Bastian (match penalty) – Have your say!
Matt Rempe was issued a five minute major for this hit on Nathan Bastian. After review it was increased to a match penalty. Did they get it right? Have your say!
Bastian off balance and leaning forward, Rempe kept as low as he possibly could. Bicep to head. I can see a ref calling it either way, really interested what DOPS does.
Luckily Bastian is OK and back in the 2nd period. Got to give him credit. What a warrior. Rempe then one-punched Siegenfather who challenged him. He's gonna be a problem. The next Chara
rempe 6-8” 241lbs, Bastain had his head down, even if he didn’t, still would’ve been a clean hit, didn’t leave his feet, and no elbow, just a clean shoulder hit
2 out of 5 Troubas. Left his feet, nice long attack pattern with speed, but didn't get good Trouba-esk height, but that's perhaps because he didn't need to leap as far to make sure he made the head the principal point of contact.
went in with the shoulder, perhaps should have let up seeing the guy in a vulnerable position but when are these guys going to stop living in vulnerable positions? the onus is on both players. I feel Rempe did a good job to tuck the elbow and lead with the shoulder, but it's unfortunate that the primary point of contact was the head because if Bastian was upright that's nothing but a solid shoulder on shoulder hit

Not a fan of either tea but if the leafs or rangers sneeze, people say it was dirty. It’s annoying.
if your big in this league, you essentially can check a guy smaller than you, that what this tells me.

5+GM charging. He hits a vulnerable player with excessive speed/force and he only hits the head. He makes no attempt to play the puck.
Suspension required, for we go for bettmans head!!!!!
Clean hit, unfortunate outcome.
100% suspension and I won't hear your side if you disagree. case closed.
That is intentional head contact. Rempe charged at him knowing his head would be hit first. His height doesn't matter in this case.
Good hit it's not his fault he's a 8 foot mutant
