I don’t think he needs to be in every game, but Aves is absolutely right in that he can and should be utilized to set the tone in the garden at some point in the series
I honestly think they should start Rempe the first game, it being at the Garden at all, but I also understand why they probably won’t. I just hope we haven’t seen the last of him in these playoffs.
Idk why I haven’t thought of this before, but Avery should be on the TnT broadcast with Biz. Would be some electric banter.
Rempe brings so much value
I did LOL at Bobrovsky being one of the reasons you need to counter with Rempe.
As he’s holding the penjamin. Idk who this guy is but I like him now
Ignorant question here, but I feel like I’ve been told to not like Sean Avery, and yet, I constantly feel like I like Sean Avery. Why am I not supposed to like this guy?
rempe should be in the lineup
It’s who we take out that prevents me from committing to this.
Vesey or goody go? They’ve been fire.
Kakko? Maybe. But he’s had insane chemistry with wennberg and if chytil is in (who I’d definitely not scratch unless hes not healthy), kakko + chytil is deadly.
So… Yeah. He should be in the lineup but I can’t justifiably remove anyone to insert him in
He had a huge impact round 1 against the capitals.
Round 2 – Carolina was too fast for him and he was exploited a little bit.
He needs to be in the lineup against the Panthers.
One thing I’m going to say about Rempe is former players LOVE him. Messier Boyle Avery all of them talk about him like when he is in the lineup he’s being underutilized and Laviolette should trust him enough to play him in the 3rd period. If Laviolette felt the same way about Rempe maybe I’d agree he should be in the lineup (idk who he’d play over though) but that is not the case and Laviolette doesn’t trust Rempe to play in the third period of a close game. Maybe next year but for now I think he should be in the press box unless we need him as a reaction to how Florida is playing in the series
Rempe wears teams out. He’s exhausting to play against. Getting hit, getting off the ice…it’s a tiresome endeavor. There’s a place for a guy that can do that. Especially if the opponent has faster skaters…it slows them down.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, chytil will play scared hockey and is one hit away from a career ending head injury. Florida is just that team to do that. It’s crazy to insert him when he was not in the plans all season and the team got this far without him. Rempe and his 5 minutes a game is the answer. His presence on the bench alone is a benefit.
I’d sit half of our forwards for prime Avery in this series
CTE at it’s finest
Stomp stomp stomp! Rempe rempe rempe!
He makes everyone look over their shoulder going in to the corner or the boards. He makes people think twice about putting their head down. And he lights up the garden.
There may be right and wrong times to put him in the lineup, but he’s a physical factor that is undeniable against a team like the Panthers.
Honestly, save Chytil for the finals. No team that’s left in the playoffs is a dirtier team than Florida, and I just know Sam Bennett is waiting to end his career. Start Rempe in games 1 and 2, if things don’t go well, bring in Chytil.
I don’t know why the hockey community on Reddit has such trouble accepting that intimidating and, yes, injuring the other teams players is and has always been a valid and winning strategy in NHL playoff hockey. Why is Marchand the only one with enough balls to say this out loud.
Always good to have a wild card up your sleeve and probably better to deploy that wildcard sporadically. Just enough to fuck up the other teams flow
