Oh Rempe... 

This is the third head injury this guy has caused since he's been in the league.

This isn't going to end well for Rempe. Someone's going to get fed up with him and throw a dirty one back and he'll be out for a while, or worse, they won't even target him and go for one of the Rangers' actually good players. What he's doing is dangerous not only for himself but for his teammates.

Refs honestly fucked up not letting MacDermid go after Rempe for that hit. Regardless of all of that Rempe should've known that taunt would look bad.

Second hit up high is crazy. In just a couple weeks

The league has to step in. I love old time hockey, but an elbow to the head is not acceptable. 5 game suspension will send the message.

This guy is basically a meteor. He will be a brilliant flash at first, fizzle out, and then quickly forgotten.

Its not like Siegenthaler is short either, the dude is still 6'2.

This is what happens when you don't discipline it the first time he does it. Maybe he'll get a suspension this time since it's not vs a leaf

The cheers from MSG fans are wild when hes on the ice. Vibes are crazy in that arena

I used to get into fights when I was in the army. Forty years later, ask me which brawl I remember. The one getting my ass kicked by some dude half my size.

I hope he s getting three. You can See that he decides to go in Front of the opponent to reach Him with the elbow. He could make a clean hit.

He was willing to fight all those guys who were 6’1. Matt Martin being 6’3, but he thought twice not dropping with macdermid who’s 6’5 and the same weight as Rempe. He didn’t want that action. He’s got no choice now next game

Rempe is dirty...his hit on Lyubushkin was a charge, no question...3 strides clearly visible and he left his feet...now this (and this was the second dirty hit this game)...kid needs to be put in his place...

hes 100% getting sat april 3rd. im calling it now.

Game 7, 2024 Stanley cup finals Rempe with the over time goal to win the cup. Against Vancouver 🤣

McKermit falling over drunk with the cup and his antics in the AHL. Guys such a role model.

Avs fan here, y'all take good care of Dermy and he'll take good care of your guys

The rempe situation won’t end well for one of his teammates

That kids career is going to be over very quickly.

Rempe is a dirty player and a coward for not answering the bell. I hope Macdermid gets the most ice time of his career on April 3rd

2 or 3 games??? WTF! The elbow-to-head is way more violent than Morgan Rielly and Rielly got 5 games. Perhaps you are right Rempe will get 2 games because The Rangers are Bettman's favorite team.

The way the devils should have handled it is by squaring up the rangers captain. The NYR captain would teach REMPE IN ABOUT 1 minute in the locker room.. always go for the head of the snake

At this point in his career, with 3 head injuries, 2 ejections and 6 major penalties in 10 games. I can't give the kid the benifit of the doubt anymore. He should get 5 games for intent to injure. Its not a matter of he might injure someone. Its that he Will injure someone. He needs to be made an example of that if you cant play in a safe fashion, you cant play at all

I heard this rumor that, every time you said Rempe's name he becomes 1 inch taller.

bros entire career is being tall

Bro ruined his reputation 😂

MacDermid is absolutely going to feed lunch to that kid on April 3rd. I watched him dismantle everyone he ever fought here in Colorado. He’s 6’6” and 245. Almost the same size as Rempe. Total unit.

I just started watching hockey this year, thanks for the little summary of events!

I love this kid

As an Avs fan, Mcdermy vs Rempe would be great, and would give rempe a fight against a guy who’s job is fighting, and maybe teach him to respect the code a bit more

I've been very outspoken against it but after watching him play lately I'm changing my opinion: He's going to get diagnosed with CTE, and he'll have earned it.

After watching Laffy jump into a check when hitting Luke Hughes and Rempe of course doing his best Trouba impression, the Rangers are starting to take on a dirty team identity. Surprised Trouba wasnt in the dirty mix.

He's become a menace, someone you really have to look out for when he's on the ice, he's definitely taken a heel turn, I understand he's not a skilled player and has to do what he can to stay in the NHL but geez. Imagine this kid fills out and becomes the next Bob Probert. 😳

He's a heat machine. I love it.

Probably the unpopular opinion here, but I watched that game. Still have it on my DVR and watched it again. During the first two periods the Devils attempted to start a fight with Rempe four times (MacDermid had three of them). The whole first two periods Rempe was the target of the Devils for cheap shots. I give him credit for maintaining his composure for as long as he did in that game. He was skating away from every instigation the Devils threw at him until the elbow 40 minutes in to the game. I'm sorry, but the Devils need to own some of this. You can only target a person so many times until they retaliate.

Even Johnny is triggered. Gotta love Rempe.

I feel like a lot of people here need a refresher on hockey rules, and out of the kindness of my heart I will provide that charity The hit on Lyubushkin was clean He was already gliding in the faceoff circle He was first in on forecheck. Yes. You are allowed to travel a distance to get the puck. Crazy, i know Initial contact was made to shoulder When contact was made his skate was on the ice Skates do not need to be on the ice after contact You guys are so welcome. Especially Leafs fans that know less hockey than Knights fans

The guy has earned himself quite a reputation already. It was fun at first but now he's just dirty af and he's injuring people. That elbow on Siegenthaler was definitely an intent to injure and should be a suspension. He should learn how to hit cleanly, not jumping, not lifting his elbows, or he'll get into trouble. A big body he is, that's true, but the bigger the tree, the louder the fall. Can't wait to see Orlov sending Rempe in a 360 deg fly with a good old hip check.

Bringing the "4 Minute Meathead" back to the NHL. 5 games seems to be the new standard for intentionally targeting the head even without a suspension history. Gallagher and Reilly are the precedent.

The bye bye wave was in response to MacDermid's crotch grab & thrust motion.

Something tells me Rempe is getting "the Lindros treatment" - I mean career-ending concussion by somebody who is fed up with his antics.

We need a player like this. Not happy about that hit, but glad to have a guy like him on our team,

No question he led with the elbow and deserved the suspension. He needs to learn where the line is. As a minor defence, he was also trying to block the Devils player’s stick that was coming up. Still doesn’t justify a head shot like that. The wave on the way off was a peewee move. If he doesn’t learn to respect the game the rest of his career will be riding buses.

Does everyone forget who the rangers coach is??? He’s 100% a goon coach. Tom Wilson. Do we all forget in 2012 when he said the flyers needed to play with more “jam”. He loves this type of hockey. And frankly if this kid was on any other team rangers fans would hate him and the fans of his team would love him.

Okay I agree with you about he take care of his body but you are right that he wasn’t expecting him stop and second of all he was preparing his elbow for the boards and really didn’t think that his elbow was going to hit him so it really doesn’t make sense that kind of suspension but I don’t really know

Dude's gonna learn some valuable life lessons he better be ready.

Rempe has had 3 suspension-worthy hits in 10 NHL games. He's not a hockey player. He's a thug on skates. Maybe this shit was cool in the 1970s, but it has no place in today's game.

Rempe probably watched Marchand a couple weeks ago butt ending a player in the face, and facing zero accountability from NHLPS. I don't see how they can suspend anyone after letting marchand get away with worse.

i was a big guy too and i didnt even hit growing up i was even in rep the whole time. Its actually hard we would have to bend down. Say you are 6'3 without shoes.. put on skates and im 6'6 compared to most 5'10 guys

LOL REMPE THE NEW CTE POSTER CHILD

He needs to sit for 3 games to teach him a lesson but the Rangers brass needs to take some responsibility and reprimand him too.

What an evil elbow! That’s GOT TO BE 6 GAMES!!!

The fact that he plays the way he does, and then doesn't answer the bell when called out for it, shows what a coward he is. Then the wave at the end...he's immature on top of it. He's become nothing but a sideshow in the NHL, yet the Rangers fans love it.

I wish Rempe was in the pacific division so he could throw these hits at Keegan Kolessar. Rempe at least has the excuse of being tall for his bad hits but KK intentionally throws elbows and knees every single game and hasn't paid for it yet.

That elbow would have made Messier proud. Rempe needs a suspension for sure.

i find this whole thing kinda telling because a lot of the people complaining about him rn are the same people who were totally on board with pospisil laying all his dirty hits and causing head injuries. so many hockey fans are sooooooo hypocritical in who they are for or against, like if you dont want head injuries in the league yall need to treat EVERYONE equally, there is no cherrypicking who you punish and who you dont. in order to protect players, everyone needs to be treated the same, and both the nhl and the hockey community refuse to do that, and its verryyyy telling to me

He just got 4 games 445pm Tuesday 3/12/24

Saying he needs to work harder to control his body is hilarious, he could lay HUGE clean hits by tucking his elbow and getting a little low.he’s probably 40-60Lbs heavier than most guys in the nhl. Players will always recognize when another player is making a play and something happens, this guy is a 6’8 260LB goon raising his elbows when he hits and can hold his own in a scrap because of his reach, players are starting to take notice of that

I usually don't care much about the Rangers and Devils being a Leafs fan from Canada but you can bet your ass I'll be tuning into the April 3rd game lol.

If teams start bringing back huge goons...the little guys are going to have to retire because theyre not used to getting destroyed by giants...the game will get slower...lots of injuries...im not sure if thats what the people want...but the fights this kid gets into is fun to watch!

This story ends with him in a stretcher, a player is going to make it their mission to hurt him badly and they will.

A 5:00 o'clock game on a Wednesday? I realize people are going to want to see this rematch, but who the heck can make that game in the middle of the week?

2-3 sounds about right to me. The hit against New Jersey a few weeks ago was clean, he's just big. Went off the rails a little against the Leafs, even as a Toronto fan I didn't think it was worthy of a suspension, but it was a clear charge by both definitions of it and should have been at least two minutes. As you said, he clearly crossed the line here, and should miss a couple games. There's been a pretty clear and quick escalation to his hits. If I was a Rangers fan, I'd be less concerned about a suspension, and more concerned about him doing something like this in the playoffs. Can't argue the benefit he brings to the team, but if he gives the opposition a 5 minute powerplay it could swing a game or even a series the opposition's way. Rangers are a hell of a team, don't need something like this sinking you guys.

Somewhere Scott Stevens is screaming God the Irony

Oh, it's all on him that he is a target. Every tough guy on all rosters (usually one if any at all) think they can drop gloves with this kid because he is big, and he is a gamer. (Normally) He can't possibly keep up the fighting pace and needs to choose carefully. I have a feeling the coaches sat with him and told him to avoid dropping the gloves so frequently. He is bound to break his hand on the panty shields the league forces guys to wear now and won't let them take off if fighting. Guess they think if it hurts to punch plastic guys won't fight anymore. Give the kid a break. He is the rookie, and he is not the one skating over and challenging guys before the puck is dropped.

April 3rd: R.I.P. panarin

Reminds me of the Hanson brothers from Slap Shot.

Didn’t look like intentional head contact to me, however he was clearly forcing the hit when he shouldn’t have. I call it bad judgement from a guy who is trying to play to his strengths, he’s trying to force as much aggression as he can cause that’s what got him here and that’s what’s keeping him relevant. It’s easy to look at a slow mo and say “he had plenty of time to abort” or “he lifts the elbow that was intentional to the head for sure” no, and it’s clear you don’t play hockey if you think that. Hockey is an extremely fast paced game, those two guys were moving towards each other very fast, Rempe made the mistake of trying to force that hit yes, but that doesn’t mean he intentionally threw the elbow to hit his jaw. He fucked up, and then to make things worse he taunts the guy. Classic example of a rookie mistake, 3 day suspension and some payback on Apr 3 might hopefully teach him a lesson.

Must watch game April 3rd.

I think they might have to give this kid 4 or 5 games to hopefully set him straight early. (for his safety) I get he is tall... but he has to be more responsible, the head stuff needs to end. If the league doesn't get him flying straight. Some night in the not too far off future someone is going to tune the kid up and end his career. He hasn't earned the ability to play team agitator quite yet.

As a Rangers fan I hope Rempe chills out for a bit, for his own sake and for the team's. A good fight here and there is all fun and games, but this villain arc with taunting and nearly injuring guys is not cool

Dirty elbow. And , I'm a Rangers Fan. Rempe is very very young.

I do know the hit was dirty and he should be suspended, but it kind of looks like he was raising his arm and subsequently his elbow to brace going into the boards. Now no one can say for sure what is going through his mind but that aspect should be taken into consideration too.

Put April 3rd in the calendar folks

How come NO ONE wants to talk about him getting his ass kicked by Matthieu Olivier????

We're truly witnising the second coming of Sean Avery

Matt “Doug Glatt” Rempe

oh man, he just got a four game suspension! I was at the garden last night, the love for him there is real but that being said. Loving the man and condemning that dirty hit are not mutually exclusive. He’s going to have to make adjustments to his game. The lack of discipline by player safety up until this point has enabled him to continue this reckless play. Let this suspension he another of his growing pains. I just implore him to adjust his play for himself, the longevity of his career, the safety of his opponents and for us fans. We want Matt to have an edge to his game. Never stop being edgy but everything clean and legal! Please Matthew..

Well done video

Just got the notification he got 4 games

Rangers fan here. Love Rempe but yeah, that was a bad elbow. When Rempe waved though, I legit laughed. Feels like I'm watching old school hockey. I love his play style but this was a dirty hit. Hopefully he will learn

Should be 5 games like other players received for elbow hits..

Just glad he won't be there against the canes. Hoping none of our guys get injured before playoffs

Rangers fan. I hope he gets 3+ games so he can learn he needs to be more careful. He's more than a goon. He does a great job in front of the goalie. Helping the team score goals should be his primary function. And yes occasionally giving a beat-down when needed. Making dirty hits and sitting in the box (or locker room) isn't going to help the team win.

He's gotta fight curt now, can't do that then wave at the guy trying to kill you after you destroy his friend. Next game between these guys is going to be wild

3 games and he should have answer the bell on the first time when ask part of the code

He got 4 games fair enough. I find it hard to understand how the league gives Reilly 5 games on Greig

Ouch. Kid is lookin for the hurt locker. I have a feeling he's gonna find it one of these days. 6'8" will only carry you so far.

Gotta keep arms down. He will learn eventually. Might be emotionally too young to play in NHL right now.

That was a low blow by Rempe. He needs to be better.

can this rempe guy just get shipped off to the nba, hes 6’8, lakers need a center

Lifting the elbow is dumb. He’s already got a bad reputation and that can end up hurting the team way more than his tough play and potential offensive prowess will ever help them (and yes, he has some skill). I like the attempt amid the league and former enforcer George Parros to nip this in the bud; hopefully the Rangers coaching staff also teaches Rempe how to play hard but smart. Taunting the Devils is always both acceptable and appropriate though, and I encourage all teams around the league to continue doing so.

HEY JOHNYY 1:27 WE SMELT A RATTTTTTTTTTTTTT not answering the bell waving OK A RAT. 6'8 invincible K BUD

Huge elbow. Deserved the 5. Deserved the game misconduct. But the hissy fit has been EPIC! And Macdermid, seriously dude? The low lights of your dirty play is RU-vid search away. Give that halo back to the kid you stole it from.

First rule of being 6'6" ... Keep your elbows down around people who are 5'8" 😂 That's his problem. , he's tall !! His elbows just happen to be face high along the boards . Intentionally or not , he"ll get gated every time. He should watch film of the NHLs first successful tall man , PETER MAHOVOLICH .

Gonna end up with either Rhempe getting his shit kicked in so hard he retires early, or he injures someone to the point where they retire early.

The suspension should be five days, plus six months anger management counselling for six months.

Well said Johnny 👏🏼

Dude jumps and he's already super tall

Get over it I get it that it’s a bad move but to say he did it intentional I do not believe…
