Sharpshooter Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 2 minutes ago, Pete said: It's been a slow progression for him, but it was always going to be that way. Considering we're paying 3.6 million for our fourth line center, I would have preferred to keep Barron lol. lol Facts, also considering how much he dropped off, it's even worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valriera Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Just more excellent hockey where you are so surprised to find it. Forecheck, back check, a millimeter from a goal, +1, hits, huge energy, and a giant shit eating grin all game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different animal altogether facing it every game in a grueling playoff series. I feel like Rempe will get targeted with a cheap shot at some point to be honest. Jumping high elbow. High stick. Whatever. Edited March 10 by BrooksBurner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 He seemed to be even more motivated last night to show he’s not just a one trick pony. How could he not after they chose to keep him in the lineup post deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) He’s not a good skater though. Enough jump north/south but I have some concern with him getting stuck on the ice playing faster, shiftier players. Edited March 10 by BrooksBurner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could he not after they chose to keep him in the lineup post deadline? He actually seemed to walk back from a couple of possible fights. If so the kid is learning and is even more valuable.

But as long as he’s effective The thing that has been impressing me is the fear he seems to instill in opponents when they are in their own defensive zone. I have seen more that a few rushed passes or clearance attempts with mistakes that seemed like a direct result of opponents not wanting to get hit. "I am a threat. I alter outcomes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steal last night was a totally in control balance moment that looked awkward as hell but was 100% effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its interesting to see how the league adjusts to him. Last night the blues defensemen were running scared.

jsm7302 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 "An unsportsmanlike conduct minor penalty will be interpreted and applied, effective immediately, to a situation when an offensive player positions himself facing the opposition goaltender and engages in actions such as waving his arms or stick in front of the goaltender's face, for the purpose of improperly interfering with and/or distracting the goaltender as opposed to positioning himself to try to make a play," Colin Campbell, the NHL director of hockey operations, said in a statement. 1 hour ago, torontonyr said: That's the most common comparison, yeah.

This is going to be really hard to police when people are routinely creating contact with Rempe and trying to turn him or move him out of the slot area. I'm guessing that if there is contact happening the penalty cannot be called. Rempe is going to have to be all by himself in front of the goalie, probably giving him a noogie, before this gets called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
