I saw it on a Twitter page called Broadway Block, but maybe it's bogus. Looking around I haven't seen it anywhere else

I learned my lesson, we don't want people questioning and asking for verification if water is wet just because they don't like the person stating that water is indeed wet. "Can we confirm this?"

I wish I DVR’ed the water discussion

Message sent. It was terrible and hopefully he'll learn from it quickly.

 

Really didn't like the waving part either as he was leaving the ice, after knowing the guy he it had to leave the ice. Somebody said it yesterday, pretty sure it wasn't appreciated by the org.  I like the energy he brings, hope he can learn from it. 

 

I don't think it's smart for him to take on every fight at any time, I think he has a lot to learn there (fighting wise in general) but I do think he should of answered the bell last night. I don't want the guy to turn into a clown like Avery was (imo). More importantly if the shoe was on the other foot last night I would be livid if the guy we had a huge issue with didn't answer the bell and ended up doing what he did.  Sure he got his laughs and wave in. A huge forced opportunity to sit/watch and learn from.

 

I'm hoping to see him grow and be around for a while. Yesterday was a big mis-step.

We should expect every guy with no fine history in the playoffs to get two now for their first hearing right DPS?? Right??

 

Lol also, no problem with the suspension, just the consistency with that ridiculous department of player safety.

Pleasantly surprised it wasn't 5. 

 

Rempe needs to take a lesson from this.  His size is a double-edged sword because he will accidentally get suspended if he doesn't practice good body control.

[Abe Froman]

Too much. Should have been two. Player safety is consistently inconsistent.

4 games b/c its the Rangers, should be 1 or 2 since he's a first time offender but DoPS will want to make a statement.

Who else has gotten four on a first time offense?

Grow into what? He's the most effective he's ever going to be, RIGHT NOW.

This is just not truth. And on top of that, half of his effect is negative. Thankfully he got that five against the most inept power play in the league.

Who else has played 10 career games and been tossed from 2 for attempt to injure? And that's lot counting Lybushkin.

into not ripping guys in the head with an elbow. I don't think he's all that effective getting ejected, sitting 4 games and playing very limited minutes.  He shows signs of being able to play.

[Ozzy]

He's back next Tuesday vs. Winnipeg.

 

Still a crock of shit by the NHL (his goal should've counted!)  , but I get it.  I've seen a lot worse in my day, but whatever...we take it, we move along and learn.

I can't wait until this guy calms down and starts playing like Mark Jankowski.

[Dunny]

I'm watching guys like Justin Falk just completely bail on dump ins, saying nah, fuck this shit  take the puck, and people want to change that? 

 

You can't have one, without the other.

Are you suggesting you can't learn to deliver a hit with his elbow tucked? 

[Morphinity 2.0]

My guess for the length is he got a warning after the Bastian hit and then he did this.

It's not just that.  When Rempe is moving around the ice his elbows are at face level for a lot of players.  He's going to get some incidental contact with his playstyle and he needs to learn how to keep his elbows below the danger line.  Can't tuck while you skate.  Going to have to find another solution that works.

The difference imo is in our day which goes a long long way back was a time when anything goes, no Oz?  I would never argue that DPS is consistent but that can be argued every day. But Rempe has a track record that Pete pointed out (ejections etc.) and I think this timeout could (will hopefully)help him.  He can truck guys without it, not seeing him get ejected would be great. I don't know what the up to the minute stats are but he was running more PIMS than time TOI a couple games ago.
