Rempe Rocks!!!!
Rempe definitely is going to get suspended for that hit but he doesn’t seem like he’s a dirty player he is just so big like you said I wouldn’t like it if the devils did that to us but we need this guy on our team he brings so much every game since we called him up
Rempemania. He didn’t cross no line. Rempe is the best.
No question. If another team caught one of our guys with an elbow like that I’d be mad as hell!
Live by the sword, die by the sword… Other teams will eventually start taking cheapshots at Ranger players like Bread and Zib.
A suspension should remind him to keep the arm tucked in. It’s Too bad. he was having a good game.
I love Rempe , he's the man, LETS GO REMPE!!! Even my friends that don't know hockey are talking about Rempe & The Rangers.
He should not entertain anyone anymore, no more fights! Just ignore them and drag in those instigator penalties.
This kid is getting better and better everygame its a shame he didnt finish the game. I didnt like the hit i just its a mixture of his size, hes wirey n bottom line hes gotta learn how to get those arms down. I will say tho they tried stirrin it up w him 2 periods n he tried to keep it cool . When a dogs cornerd eventually hes going to bite .. hes gotta learn vut Remp csnt do no wrong in blueshirt fans eyes
Whatup J-Chik
Rempe ran like coward he is
Love what rempe brings, but that was a nasty elbow. I can respect his decision to not fight for the bastain hit which clearly wasn’t intentional, but he’s gunna need to face the music for that one especially after taunting them.
I remember when hockey used to be a contact sport. Where was the Department of Player Safety when Scott Stevens played in NJ? There was no intent to injure and Rempe was trying to brace his collision into the boards after Siegenthaler stopped short. But the Devils fans hate Rempe and the Devils organization needs to distract from a terrible season. Rempe did not decline to fight McDermott. He was already tied up by the linesman by the time McDermott got over there.
Not going to defend Rempe nor condemn him. The hit was wrong and needs to be addressed by the league. But let’s not go overboard and punish him too much. He’s young and still a raw talent. What he needs is guidance from the veterans on the team and the coaches on staying in the game and not fighting the whole league. As for dirty hits and losing a player, have we forgotten about Chyrtil?
Rempe has added a dimension of toughness and physicality to the team…He also showcased skills…He can skate, forecheck and use his size at the net front…I love him!!…As to the elbow, it was clearly a penalty and deserved a major…It will result in a justified suspension…I did not like it.
I think Siegenthaler took a calculated risk. How often is embellishment called? Just north of never?
Glad you walked back the Wilson comp; that'd be about as unfair to the kid as anything any Ranger hater could say.
The Devils have one of the worst goaltending situations in the league and thought that trading for a guy who's worse than Wedgewood would help. What a bunch of IDIOTS.
Don't care that he did it. Seriously, F the Devils. Everyone laughed at us for being soft when the Wilson stuff happened. Well guess what we are not soft anymore.
Just being on the ice Rempe changes the chemistry of the game. Everyone has to keep their heads on a gimbal because you're going to get demolished if you're not looking for him. The kid could well be the deciding factor in close games in the playoffs.
The kid is a rookie and he's got to lot to learn. He's so tall and big that he needs to do things the right way or he's going to hurt someone . He can be a really good player in the league he needs to do the right thing. I don't know if the league sends a message and does suspend him or they say here's a one time pass figure it out
He ll get suspended. Now, no Trouba and Rempe against Carolina.
Stupid move, definitely crossed the line. Bad for the team because the other parts of his game are really contributing and now we’re going to lose him for a couple games at least. He needs to work on being more disciplined and keeping his arms down when he goes to deliver those hits. Trouba should be the messenger on this because he manages to keep his hits legal even if they make opponents mad.

Rempe may get suspended, but I expect that the DOPS will just give him a slap on the wrist in terms of a fine or nothing at all
He needs to just keep it clean, also good for the coaching staff to tell him to limit his fights and not get suckered into a fight
Hey Jon,
Don't know exactly what you said, but his name is Nick Fotiu. He was an enforcer for the Rangers in the late 70s and 80s, for those that don't know him. Just wanted to correct the record 🙂
Good job on the video.
Let's fucking go Rangers.
Absolutely should be a 3+ game suspension. Hope he learns from this. Not something you can repeat.
Rempe should've received two minutes for elbowing. Getting the gate for a glancing elbow and penalizing Lafreniere for "boarding" after throwing a textbook bodycheck is from the theater of the absurd.
Rempke was and will be held responsible for his actions and rightly so. I'm thinking one game, but we'll see. Call it far fetched, but Rempke could have seen the boards and put up both arms to protect himself from the collision. While doing so the left elbow came up higher than the right in an instinctive fashion. Bottom line, you must be held accountable.
To those embracing this hit. Careful what you wish for. Hits like this can perma injure a player and he should have left instead of mocking Jersey bench embracing a totally bad hit. Someone may decide it's a payback time and now you get a ranger star out for months. Again, careful what you wish for.
He's a very tall kid and if he were the same height as Jonas the illegal hit would have been legal, you cannot blame him because his elbow was the same height as his opponents head as for the Rangers they almost blew that game, the started to play that style of not clearing, icing the puck, mishandling and forgetting their fundamentals as for Wilson he literally banged his forearm on a players head while a player laid on the ice.
Tempe is a force to be wrecking with LGR
Lavy you better have a talk wit this kid or he will be attacked by multiple players at same time.They will gang up on him!!!.Doin that wavin shit,his career is gona be over before it starts.
I can see somebody givin him a two hander wit ther stick and his career will be over.
Bro he stuck his elbow out,not smart play,intent to injure,should get 3 gm suspension.Lavy you need to coach this kid !!!
I personally don’t think it looked that bad of a head hit. He barely grazed him, but since the league decided to put a former goon in charge of players safety ( joke) he’s getting suspended for a few games. He shouldn’t just go out there and fight. There so mad about him fighting why doesn’t the league start penalizing these players that are challenging him every night? He should fight only when needed. That being said he better not be in the lineup for the playoffs can’t afford him to get thrown out of games.
Rempe is a half a foot or more taller than the other players on avg. If he was 6 feet tall his elbow would have hit the guys upper shoulder imo. I do think he needs to focus on playing hockey because he is a solid player
