Albatrosss Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Lavi is not going to get in a way of the kid making a career in the league. Rempe is not hurting the team by fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 He should just continue doing what he's been doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delneggs Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Rempe and Edstrom should keep playing a physical, north/south game like they have. Rempe has been looking to make a reputation for himself but maybe he should play hockey first and fight when and if he needs to instead of looking for fights at the drop of a puck. I get why he has been doing it but he should focus on playing hockey first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a mutual respect going into tomorrow where that isn't revisited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 There's no reason to fight Olivier again unless a reason gets created in the game (like a dirty play/hit). But that same first shift agreed-upon fight shit... hard pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you asked to go, and got your ass handed to you by a guy 6" shorter and 20 pounds lighter, it would be beyond stupid to fight him again 4 days later.

Sod16 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Keep cheering and egging on Rempe. 25 years from now, when he is in obsurity and broken from CTE, you won't have to confront it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such an insane jump to made up conclusions. god forbid we get excited when a prospect comes up with an edge. Or that people who watch hockey enjoy fighting.

Ozzy Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I wouldn't worry too much about Rempe, fellas. I'm pretty sure he knows he has some work to do to improve on what his "role" is going to be here. There hasn't been this much excitement around a player like him in the league for a long time....and I'm looking at all these 4th line "skill players" that think they're gonna take advantage of teams that have a weak bottom 6. The Rempe factor will kick them in the teeth over the next several years. This kid is for real, and he can dish it out in a big way. These players know the risks, and they're fine with it. I'll push my chips in the middle of the table on a kid like this, whose work ethic is burying the needle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 His fighting will slow down for sure as he eases into that 4th line role going forward too. Enjoy the show while it’s in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is a neurologist these days. No Pete, I didn't speculate that Mika has CTE. I said nothing about shooting from further out. I said it was possible that beyond the fact that he is getting older, the lack of intensity that I see in his play compared to a few years ago might be related to his history of concussions. Having some residual minor symptoms does not equate to CTE. Interesting study. Enforcers were found to die on average 10 years earlier than other NHL players. https://www.publichealthpost.org/research/fighting-hockeys-deadly-toll/ Derek Boogaard; Reggie Flemming; Steve Montador; Larry Zeidel; Rick Rypien; Bob Probert; Wade Belak; Tod Even etc. Enforcers dead before their times with CTE. And we don't even have the formal diagnosis for so many who are still alive but suffer from headaches, emotional difficulties and substance abuse, like Chris Nilan, who we all cheered on in day.

Fair enough, but in preparing for a deposition Bob Cantu, the world's foremost authority on CTE, and other related work, I acquired a lot more knowledge on the subject than might be possessed by the average hockey fan collecting fight videos. https://concussionfoundation.org/about/staff/robert-cantu When the CTE suit was settled, my close friend and law partner drove up to a hard scrabble Canadian town to find a frequently concussed player who is not coping well, as it was the only way to assure that he would get his check. He asked around on the street for a day before finally finding him in a dark single room in an SRO. Kinda put a damper on my cheering when guys are slugging each other in the head with bare knuckes. I understand that Rempe will not be fighting as often after he goes through the league once, but it may not take as much as you might think to do the damage. I hope he plays with an edge, creates space, and rarely, if ever, fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously needs to learn to defend himself if he does fight. It's part of the game until it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wants staged fights and they rarely if ever happen. kid has come in and made a name For himself. No way this pace continues. no one wants concussion issues. with that said… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
