This Rempe guy is an absolute DAWG

If I had said the name Matt Rempe 2 weeks ago, would you have known who I was talking about? Well, neither would I... but this kid is an absolute DAWG. Just 4 games into his NHL career and this 6 foot 8 240 pound Alberta boy is making a serious name for himself in the NHL. Making his debut against the New York Islanders in the Stadium Series, meant he became the first to ever take a rookie lap outdoors. Not only his first game but his first shift, he dropped the gloves with Matt Martin at centre stage infant of 70 thousand, so he certainly made a splash. Then against the New Jersey Devils just 2 nights ago, he laid a massive hit on Nate Bastian which, it was a hit to the head so he got a 5 minute plus the boot. Then came today, playing the Philadelphia Flyers when after a little chat during warmups with Nicolas Deslauriers he had himself another scrap which may have been the fight of the decade against one of the best in the league. Notice something here? the Islanders, the Devils and now the Flyers in his first 4 games. This kid is mowing through Rangers rivals at an unprecedented rate. Exactly how you win the hearts of not only a fan base, but your locker room. And yes, he still has more penalty minutes than he has playing time on the ice. As for the game itself, it was a great one so watch as I cover it all in todays NHL video!

If Rempe stays physical and stays at the front of the net, he'll be a valuable player. The guy doesn't need to fight every game to stay in the league, he and Edstrom can give the 4th line an identity that the Rangers haven't had since the days of Dom Moore and Brian Boyle.

Flyers fan here. This Rempe kid is impressive. Also, just that size alone... coupled with the physical aspects of his game, we've got a Chara-sized dude that plays with an edge. Yikes, but in the best was possible lol.

[@darthollpheist1156]

At least Rempe is willing to actually take a punch. Chara would pick a fight, land a few, then as soon as he started getting hit back he would just fall over and let his size pull the other guy down. And while he did early in his career, later on, he was terrified of fighting real fighters. Rempe obviously isn't.

Kid is bringing attention to the NHL! Great stuff! We all appreciate the physicality and want it to remain in the game. Then see a guy like this work hard to round out his game above being solely a physical presence and hate on him? Hypocritical! The Islanders, Devils, and Flyers are all synonymous with tough guys when their teams were contending for the Stanley Cup: Dave Schultz, Clark Gillies, Scott Stevens. The Rangers Flyers game was incredible. It had everything! Embrace it if you’re a fan of hockey!

[@earthchompz]

It's not hypocritical to want to watch good hockey and not some ftard elbowing everybody in head, that ain't hockey or grit, that's garbage. Arguing that there used to be cheap players and it's good that it's back is like aguing that drinking and driving is fine because it's a tradition from days of old.

[@friscojones2960]

NHL needs to change the schedule for next year. We need more rivalry games. When you see Rangers vs Flyers, Rangers vs Devils and Rangers vs Islanders you see wars.

I think if Rempe can do that he will get better.. Oliver definitely knows what he is doing not his first rodeo he got skill in fighting.. I also don’t hope Rempe becomes the next Derek BooGaard..

[@JCTiggs1]

Definitely an intense game with a playoff feel to it.

[@cmsilver8906]

That hit during the Devils game shouldn't have been a misconduct...Once again in the new NHL players lead with / have their head down, obviously not protecting themselves, get smashed, and the other guy goes. If you lead with your head or have your head down during a play your asking for trouble, especially when the size difference is what it is. It is unfortunate when players get seriously hurt and you don't want to see concussion issues, but I'm seeing more and more hits lately that would be avoided or not as bad if your head is up.
