It’s that same reason we love Wilson or Boston loves 🐀 or now the rags and Rempe. It’s classic hockey fan mentality.

Credit to their management, they realized their team was a bunch of soft whiny babies and it was holding them back so they made a change.
I’m not gonna hold my breath waiting for an apology for their hypocrisy but I am looking forward to the day when a skill player jumps on Rempe’s back and they have to explain why that situation is so different. Also, any comparison of Rempe to Wilson is dumb. Wilson has never thrown elbows or left his feet on hits, he just hits people really fucking hard (or he used to, barely even throws hits any more).

They are the biggest hypocrites in the NHL

Fan of neither team but let’s not act like the Rangers didn’t have reason to bitch about Tom Wilson. The league not suspending Wilson after that incident is the reason the Rangers have the lineup they do. The league does not take player safety seriously at all. They continually put the biggest former goon they can’t find in change of player discipline. This would be like the NFL going from James Harrison to Vontaze Burfict as the person in charge of player discipline

Is a fair hockey fight “horrifying violence”? Rangers fans (I am one) have always gotten amped by a big fight. Look at Orr, or Sandy McCarthy fights. The garden exploded.

It doesn’t count when they’re on your team.
