It's OFFICIAL...

[@richardzink6026]

You can't cream a player who has his back to you with a elbow he needs to freaking learn to turn

[@brendanl0711]

He's not being unfairly targeted, he was given eight games because he's a repeat offender in less than a year. It's the same suspension that was given to Nazim Kadri a few years back and they've also given Tom Wilson similar and even longer suspensions in the past. The bottom line is he has to learn if you see the guys numbers you don't throw the hit, especially up against the boards. His size is completely irrelevant to the equation, he just has to learn or he'll have no future in the NHL

[@homerunhitters333]

THERE WAS NO ELBOW. IT WAS A ROUTINE HOCKEY PLAY. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NO SUSPENSJON. GROSS INJUSTICE AGAINST A YOUNG NY RANGERS PLAYER BY CORRUPT, POLITICALLLY MOTIVATED LEAGUE CHARIMAN AND PAID MEDIA. BETTEMAN SHOULD BE FIRED. REMPE SHOILD APPEAL.

[@JohnWick-zl5oc]

it will have no impact... the NYR sucks and will continue to suck until Drury is gone and the core players are all gone, Rempe wont matter one bit.

[@richardkeyes5844]

And they'll still suck after that too.

[@mrsullyrox]

A novelty player unfortunately

[@Ibelieveinfreedom]

This kid is a goon. He is not a good player. Please stop the overhyped. That is the problem with us fans in New York with overhyped players. He is just a big kid who can skate, that is all. How in the heck does he make us better. Please explain??????? Be a goon along doesn't win games..... it takes skills.

[@MattPizzano]

Kid is a horses fanny. Why are you going to risk being down a forward every time he dresses if he decides to go meathead and draw another match penalty? This has happened too often now….and he’s not being targeted. The NHL has no reason to go out of its way to hurt one of their most popular and valuable franchises.

[@iansmith6818]

I hope he doesnt get sent back down

[@jcg9998]

I think there is no question that Rempe got a bigger suspension because of his size. If he's 5'10" delivering the same it, I don't think he gets 8 games. I'm not a Ranger fan and I get why he got 8 games but I think he should appeal. That could be cut in half or at least get 2 games knocked off.

[@0xSpiff]

8 games was exactly what I guessed, and absolutely warranted

[@TheMediumChannel]

I don't know if 8 games is right, I thought he'd get 6 but that said he's too f'n reckless. I hope he figures it out because he could be a key piece here.

[@humanbeing2420]

The stupidity of the online comments about Rempe is quite remarkable. "He's an animal!" "He's trying to kill people." "Why don't they kick him out of the league forever?"

[@19trebor53]

Fair enough. Please maintain that rationale next time Washington’s Wilson goons it up.

[@barlowanthony6717]

As a Ranger fan, we don't need a Tom Wilson with no body/brain controls. If your u hit a player from behind your fucking up period. The last thing a shit team needs is to be hated around the league. 🏒🎄☃️

[@michaeltortorelli5219]

If you every played the game you would understand the rangers need for physical presence. Thats how a panarin gets the space he needs in the playoffs. .

[@barlowanthony6717]

@michaeltortorelli5219 I hear. But I also think you can get physical 4th line players who can also score for a good contract. I like Matt but right here right now ...we don't need the headache of rookie idiocy. He wasn't even playing big minutes in Hartford. Take care happy Xmas 🎄

[@kenmair277]

8 games is exactly what I thought he would get due to the schedule. Game 8 is Dallas again. The league was not going to let him play that game. 4:28 4:32

[@sirve6028]

good i said he would get 8 games

[@1verge1]

I somewhat understand rangers fans who like "what rempe brings". But you can get the same n more from a good 4th liner thats not a dirty player n can score more. This kid is showing you hes never gonna get it.

[@Nelbroth]

Safe to say Rempe's a product of a by-goon era.

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

80k is lot of money for 4th line player.

[@timetowakeup6302]

He makes the league minimum

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

​@@timetowakeup6302 yes

[@retsam1721]

This team is now done, he brings grit and without him they are clearly done and I'm done with the NHL..

[@pfran1]

😂

[@kevinhayes5944]

I have been watching the NHL for over 60 years and it is so hard to watch today. This kid has a big target on his back. Player safety is a joke, officiating is horrible, and Bettman is ruining the game.

[@JohnWick-zl5oc]

i see diving in every game almost, never called..NHL is a joke these days.

[@enricobertoletti]

Rempe is the 70-80’s NHL Goon Squad. Send him back to the AHL or he may wind up in the KHL. Rempe is a marked man now in the NHL.

[@frederickacerra7766]

He is a waste . Someone who usually has more minutes in the box than on the ice has no impact on the game . He should be in Hartford and stay there . He has no hockey IQ at all .

[@muchopreguntas]

He drew 2 penalties and made some solid plays as well as some clean hits before he made a stupid mistake and got ejected. His overall impact to the game was positive. Now a waste would be someone who had over 17 minutes but was somehow invisible on the ice. This same person also had a -1 plus/minus in a game the Rangers actually won and a grand total of ZERO shots. At Least Rempe put a shot on net. And Rempe got around 5 minutes playing time. Who am I talking about? Mika Z

[@ronvanknowe7621]

That's nonsense they are making way more out of it .yes he should not have it him from behind but the player wasn't even really hurt .THIS is the NHL NOT F'N rec hockey. REMPE brings high energy and toughness this damn team hasn't shown all year. But I agree he needs to be more careful in how he is hitting .it wont suprise me if they dont win another game until he comes back.

[@calvinquadros7980]

This is unbelievable bettman is mentally sick in the head hockey is a rough game fire bettman let him be a manager of a ballet team

[@AddictedToPain-x1i]

😂🤣😂🤣💩 4 🧠

[@bobwisdom7749]

Will hitting ever leave nhl

[@diegocossio-n5z]

Rempe is savage and I’m happy he is a ranger

[@donsullivan1137]

The Rangers are never going to get a break from the DPS……. Ryan Reaves was suspended for five games for his hit on Darnell Nurse…..which knocked him out cold. It was Reaves fourth suspension and his total games suspended is eleven…….. Rempe now has twelve for two suspensions…….. I understand that Reaves has been in the league for a long time, but he is still a repeat offender. We all know that any chance Parros gets to punish the Rangers he will. And to be clear, I’m not saying Rempe doesn’t deserve to be punished, but eight games on a play that didn’t cause an injury is ridiculous.

[@dn5658]

No elbow. He could’ve pulled up a bit but the puck was right there so……I would appeal. What’s the downside? He is obviously being targeted. There is no argument. It started last year and continues. The Seigenthaler call was questioned by many as he was so close to the boards and was trying to pull up, the way I and none other than Brian Boyle saw it. Hope he can modify. Would like to hear his thoughts but that’s not allowed in Gary Bettmans woke NHL. Hope Rangers can coach him. They desperately need him. His energy is like none other on the team, though young Will Culley is clearly the real deal. They feed off Rempe

[@AD-cr7uh]

🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@alhirschen6099]

File an appeal to get total definition of the incident a repeat offender for what elbowing the elbows point of contact was glancing off the shoulder🎉

[@samuelpratt642]

Elbow, boarding, feet leave the ground… so much was wrong with that hit.

[@AddictedToPain-x1i]

😂😂😂

[@pbmc_]

8 games and 80k for is extreme repeat offender or not.

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

8 games suspention is little bit too much 5 games would be good enough. I feel bad for the guy he trying to stay in lineup and this happens..

[@timetowakeup6302]

He’s a repeat offender. Rempe has to be smarter than that.

[@samuelpratt642]

Repeat offender. First 5 games had 3 fights. To be honest, it should be longer.

[@airplanewelder]

I almost feel a little sorry for Rempe. His main job and skill is creaming people and fighting. Not much to be proud of long term.

[@jokerhd130]

Fairy Bettman gotta go.

[@sucnipii6834]

I mean they won when he played

[@MattPizzano]

You don’t keep sending a guy down if you think he’s making a positive difference.

[@wardhaskell]

This sucks

[@DonPeppinoo]

Rempe is just reckless. And i love it!!! I'm here for all of it. Another 2 years the guy is going to be filling into his body making him more massive. Dudes a beast. And no Rempe said in a interview that he's is 6'8 as is , they list him as 6'7 tho and with skates he's more like 7'1

[@ZZSmithReal]

Matt Petgrave was reckless too. Elmo Aittola was an assistant coach with Spisska Nova Ves HK of the Slovak Extraliga when Petgrave played there in 2021-22. Aittola said: "I coached Matt for a very short while. I wanted to get rid of him immediately. I had a very negative impression of him. He has no respect for himself or his opponents." Petgrave, of course, later killed Adam Johnson during an English league game on October 28, 2023 when he recklessly and purposefully stuck out his leg and cut Johnson's neck with his skate blade. Would you "love" that? Is that the kind of thing you want to see? Would you be "here for all of" that?

[@DonPeppinoo]

@@ZZSmithReal uhhhh yes.. not when flinging your skates in the air tho. They all know thats a weapon. Big hits! Bring it on baby!

[@AddictedToPain-x1i]

It's cute that you think Rempe will be in the NHL in 2 years. Delusional Rangers fan 😅

[@diegocossio-n5z]

Go rempe go rangers

[@richardmanginelli2624]

Appeal it down to 5

[@John-ny5vh]

Total bs...

[@johnlongo200]

He's tall???? F THE NHL.
