Matt Rempe First NHL Goal

[Machinehead]

I see some folks are already characterizing him as a goon. I don't think that's the case.

He's been a decent player at every level and he has excellent speed. Not for a big man, for anybody.

If these guys keep challenging him, he's gonna fight, but his long-term focus will be on playing.

 

[Akrapovince]

Just a much more skilled and tougher version for Wifi.

 

[BlueDream]

I hope he has success. If other teams have to find an answer for him, it will be good for the entertainment of the league.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Looks to be a late round gem if he can keep working on his game. Been very noticeable today and the legendary 3 other games he's played

Could be a real fun player to watch but is a pain in the ass to play against for opponents. Always root for the 6th and 7th round picks.

 

[ShotDownInFlames]

Good Southern Alberta Boy

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

They're giving Goodrow the goal.

Clear as f***ing day hit Rempe.

That's actually crazy that they can get it that wrong.

Official scorer just corrected it. Matt Rempe, game winner. huge goal for the devils after beating montreal as Matt Rempe’s goal moves the devils 2 points closer to philly for 3rd in metro

 

[BroadwayStorm]

A legend is born.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Just a much more skilled and tougher version for Wifi.

Bit of a stretch there

 

[dirtydanglez]

not bad for a 'clown'

 

[Hunter Gathers]

1 down.

999,999,999 to go.

The next Kravtsov

He only needs 5 more goals to tie Kravtsov's NHL totals.

 

[EdJovanovski]

 

[Sgt Schultz]

Ovechkin is looking over his shoulder and not focusing on Gretzke. Here comes Rempe.

 

[Machinehead]

Goodrow having a normal one.

 

[LionsHeart]

What a week this kid has had.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He’s making a name for himself. For a non-skill player could you have a greater first week entrance to the NHL than he’s had?

 

[lakai17]

Just another beast from Western Canada.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

"and then it took an hour of watching slow motion video footage for Toronto to credit me with the goal" may not make it into the story for the grandkids

Rempe the new Tom Wilson. Now everyone gonna have to find an answer for him and start signing goons

He is 6'8. Outside of staged goons few are going to fight him.

Good for the NHL to find a new wave of size/toughness that can play.

What's your point? He plays bottom 6 in the AHL. Lack of scoring doesn't mean he's just a goon. Try watching him play.

 

[CanadienShark]

It won't get much prettier than that.

It's the PIM's genius....try reading.

Maybe its optimistic but I could see him putting up 20-25 pts with the right usage

He fights. So what? Again, it doesn't mean he's just a goon.

 

[Flan the incredible]

Even Chuck Norris is afraid of Rempe
