Matthew Rempe’s hit on Trevor Van Riemsdyk

[Filthy Dangles]

Borderline threadworthy, I know. But mixed reactions to this hit.

Minor for interference called. Some say it was clean and should be no penalty, others say should have been 5. Some say coulda been charging or hit to head.

Van Riemsdyk hastmnt returned since the hit. And it could be another played Rempe has injured in his short career thus far

It's a little bit late, but there has been a ton of late hits gone uncalled so far these playoffs.

I don't see anything worthy of suspension or supplemental discipline imo.

These used to be the norm. I miss the 90's.

Well both of his feet come off the ice to make the hit so...

 

[Gardner McKay]

The entire panel on TNT just agreed the hit was clean.

Clean hit. Nothing wrong with this. It's getting old.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Honestly, I would t consider this a penalty at all.

Rempe - 2 minutes for being too much man.

[Macheteops]

Not borderline threadworthy. A tad late but just another play. If it's anyone else likely zero mention of it

Garbage hit and if the NHL lets Rempe get away with it because of his clout, the problem will only get worse. Blatant headshot. Onus is on the hitter to make a clean play and Rempe is a reckless train all the time.

The game needs more hits like this, not less.

Penalty in the No Hit League. Solid check, no injury.

Rempe is a dog, great hit, great kid, but definitely interference.

Would've hated the penalty if it was called boarding or charging etc.

 

[OilWagon]

Is the head not the principal point of contact? Seems like it to me.

2 minutes for being big.

Yep. It's not even an injury if he isn't big.

Brian Boyle has had some great takes on the podcast he does with Larry Brooks and Mollie Walker. He mentioned how in the NCAA, he had over 100 PIMs one season. Remember - fighting is banned.

He would get penalized whenever he touched a guy, basically.

Rempe will have to learn to deal with this if the league can't educate refs about these hits.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Penalty for too much man.

What a hit, absolutely destroyed him.

 

[Zerotonine]

That was ugly IMO. Late amd blind sided

 

[The Expert]

Hit was borderline but he needs to learn how to answer the bell.

 

[JungleBeat]

Suspension.

 

[Kofi Annan]

Walk on, nothing to see here.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Trevor looks like a child next to him.

League’s a joke. 3rd hit in the past month that should at a minimum be a Major if not some games, but nothing done. How has this league not been sued into the ground by past players yet. NFL at least acted like it cared at some point.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Clean hit for me. Simply finishing his check.

Clean hit. Nothing wrong with this. It's getting old.

While Hrudey and Bieksa on the Sportsnet panel each thought it should have been 5

Being big isn't a blank cheque to hit guys late, from their blindside, and to the head. Rempe has probably been the biggest guy on the ice his whole life. If he's too stupid to learn how to hit guys while being big that's his fault, not the refs.

 

[Jauffre]

we need a rempe rule

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Great clean hit!!!

Brutal penalty call. Stop admiring your pass.
