Because van Riemsdyk was in a vulnerable position. Rempe didn't raise his elbow, he kept it tucked in. Again, he's just tall, but he was clearly going for the body here and that's where the main point of contact is.

Rempe was at the end of a long shift because of 2 icing calls so he wasn’t gonna fight. It was also a 3-1 game. TVR shouldn’t be admiring his pass when the 4th line is on the ice.

[@robertperrotto870]

Never act in the way your opponent wants you to. There is no reason for Rempe to fight Wilson, the Rangers have been in control of this series from the start. Wilson is trying to give his team a spark, which is understandable, but the Rangers are not going to give it them. If there is a fight between the two, it will probably be in the 3rd period of the next game when the Rangers are about to eliminate the Caps. Quite frankly, if I was the coach of the Rangers, I would tell Rempe to continue to skate away.

[@brandonthomas6862]

I promise you his coach has absolutely told him not to fight here. There's zero benefit for the Rangers if he does. It only helps the Caps and if he gets hurt and is out a few games again...what value is there? Wilson I don't think gets him to go unless Wilson does Wilson things and takes a huge cheap shot at a Ranger. That might get a brawl going. Beyond that I don't think Rempe takes him up.

[@natesanborn4408]

he got the charge for jumping not carrying his stride into the hit. easy call

[@kimforrest5677]

He didn’t get a charge. He got an interference penalty which was also BS since the pick was gone less than .06 seconds. There have been many hits from both teams in this series that were much later and weren’t called. The ref even told Rempe it was a “tad” late and that’s why he called the penalty. Again, BS with how inconsistent they have been. It was a penalty based on reputation only. Allowed to leave your feet as long as feet are on the ice at the start of the hit. Physics mandates that momentum will propel you upwards and your skates will leave the ice. Rempe’s skates are clearly on the ice at the beginning of this hit. Learn hockey and learn the actual rules before making asinine, uninformed comments.

@@stevebabiak6997 Maybe splitting hairs, but I would much prefer someone to refer to a tucked elbow as a shoulder here. The elbow is essentially an extension of the shoulder when tucked properly. If he said "elbow", at least for me, it automatically sounds like we're discussing a dirty hit.

[@ronaldkonkoma4356]
