Brodzinski was a 3rd liner for half the year, but now he can't be a regular 4th liner for a few games on the road? I don't buy that. Yes the Canes played 9 forwards last night. I'm not talking about the Canes and I'm not talking about last night. Rempe playing 4 minutes a games is a big enough issue in a 60 minute game, it's even worse when he sits in a 2OT game after period 2. Brozinski was a 3rd liner in the same way Wheeler was a 1st liner and Bonino was a 3rd liner for awhile. Not saying that Brodz doesn't put his best effort out there every shift because he does but he's a very good AHL player and there is no way he doesn't get exposed by the 'Canes at some point.

Br4d Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Just saying that Rempe for 4-6 minutes a game is a good option if it prevents somebody else with questions getting 10-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 8 minutes for a 30 YO AAAA guy or 5 minutes for Godzilla? I like the second option. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 It's not like Chytil would be a rallying/inspiration point IF he's healthy and ready to go. Big IF. A guy who could bring offense to the 3rd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he went down with concussions at least 3 times this season (assuming the workout collapse was that). If you have to use him and he wants to go it's probably ok to use him. If you don't have to use him then next fall is a great time for his next appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 27 minutes ago, Dunny said: Chytil could die on the ice, and that wouldn't be the best for the vibe Why I said IF. Trouba could of broken his own neck last night too. I think Rempe will have a role with this team going forward, I think his value at this point is being way overblown especially when it comes to his teammates. In my opinion Chytil returning would bring the same value/energy in the room to them especially based on what he came back from. And no not Wheeler, he stinks. He can fill the fluffer role the rest of his time here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not literally, but him getting another concussion and ending up carried off the ice, and all of a sudden all the good vibes deflate like a whoopee cushion fart. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just described Rempe, who's much worse at hockey than Brodz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerDanger Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) I hate to tinker with what's working, but personally, I sit him. Obviously I'd rather see Chyts come back, slot him into the 3rd line and drop Wennberg to center the 4th. I have some reservations that he slides in seamlessly, considering how long he's been off, but all indications are that he's been participating 100% in practice for a month now, so I have to feel he has a sense of the Lavi game plan. If he's not ready to go, I think Brodz centering the 4th works out ok as well. He centered the 4th for a few games at the end of the season, and that line was buzzing. It gives them a little more speed, and if I remember correctly, that's when Goodrow started producing by playing on the wing. And please keep in mind, I absolutely LOVE Rempe. I just think I'd rather be able to roll all 4 lines without hesitation and not make someone double shift late in these games. I want these guys fresh, the playoffs are only going to get harder as we go. Edited May 9 by RangerDanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I want Rempe on the bench just in case Carolina goes after our players if they fall behind in the third. And you need Rempe if the rangers fall behind and want to start shit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Rempe is the Ranger's backbone at this point. It's what they've been missing the last couple of years except from Trouba. Trouba wasn't even that effective because he didn't scare people and he wasn't a punishing fighter because he wasn't looking for fights. When you're in a street fight you want to know you got heavy hitters with you. Everybody else on the team is getting the benefit of knowing Rempe is right there and ready to go. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Yup. I can't find it now, but Rupp did an interview somewhat recently talking about "Rempemania" and how his presence makes guys feel two inches taller. That's real, even if you can't measure it with a boxcar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
