Just mute his name if it annoys you so. Who cares?

Idk why everyone is turning on Rempe. Give him a shot. Kakko can sit.

Imagine thinking (and believing) that our playoff and Stanley Cup hopes fall on the shoulders of a 21 year old rookie. I love Rempe. But the players that will move the needle and win us a cup are our stars.

Bro I can’t even talk to my buddies about this team today. Every casual is insistent on using straw man arguments that magically rempe will fix everything (ignoring that he plays 4 minutes and doesn’t change Mika, Panarin, and Fox disappearing)
Can’t everyone see that for every big rempe hit, there’s an incredibly stupid minor penalty he takes that you can’t afford to take in a close series? Florida isn’t stupid. They’re gonna bait him.

There’s a legit argument to be made for inserting him in to change things up etc, but it’s not like the thing that will crack the nut. People are crazy.

I had to mute his name from everyone on Twitter

What I don’t get is that he plays like 5 mins a game, and never in the 3rd or OT. I like the kid and hope he succeeds, but my goodness, the media really creates a story and people run with it sometimes.

Personally I don’t think he’s going to magically carry the team and generate a win.
What I DO think he can do is add some much needed energy to MSG. He’s got cult of personality right now and ramps up the crowd, for right or wrong. This coming from the embarrassing showing the crowd had in the last game. I understand that the game was mostly a snooze fest and that the rangers weren’t doing much. However, people need to bring energy towards the team during all facets of the game. Not only when they’re dominating.
He’s also, imo, a much needed physicality we need on the ice against the cats.
38-27 in hits doesn’t sound like a big disparity but over the course of of a playoff series that can be a huge swing.
I 100% agree that it’s our stars should carry the weight and I’m desperately hoping for some more out of those guys, in the upcoming game.

I don’t think most logical fans are saying that playing Rempe fixes all our problems, but there’s no doubt that with the exception of the last game the team plays with a different energy when he’s in the lineup. That’s not a bad thing, yet there’s a certain portion of fans who are so steadfast that this isn’t the case when it clearly is. It reminds me of when Sean Avery was here.

The conversation is legit. He comes with pros and cons. Yes, will play like 4 minutes so simply can’t roll lines like you want to. But also in those 4 minutes he legitimately amps the bench up and gets them energized, makes the opponents a little more hesitant while holding the puck, and may bruise a guy up so they are less effective the rest of the game.
There is legitimate discourse on whether one game of Rempe is a valuable tone setter this series.

Rempe or not, this team needs to be more physical. It looked to me like they were bullied last night. They need to play the body a little more. It really reminds me of 2014 against LA. They were just so much more physical and it keeps the team from getting into a groove and slows them down.

Rempe should’ve been a game 1 gamble.

The man isn’t expected to be Wayne Gretzky. HOWEVER WE NEED A SPARK AND THATS WHAT HE PROVIDES. I think the “50/50” gameplay talk was bulkshit. We got owned last night and need to spice things up with a big helping of Rempe. Not sure why people are dying on the hill where he shouldn’t play when the team is like .800+ win percentage with him in the lineup.

Has nobody mentioned the need for Mikkola to answer for that last hit on Chytil??? Mikkola played far undersized for the Rangers last year. He was brought in to be physical and he wasn’t. But now he can smash Chytil with 1.4 seconds left? And the Rangers are just gonna let it go?
Chytil never should have been out there then, but that’s besides the point. Florida was skating around without a care in the world like they were at Rockefeller Center on Christmas. They wouldn’t be that carefree with Rempe in the lineup…
