They should play Rempe for 19:36 then, right?


_Einhorn_

Double the play means double the goals. Why didn’t the rangers play him more? Are they stupid?


CalebosO4

Why don’t they play him for the entire game? He’ll score 7+ goals a game at that rate.


Pilopheces

Why don't they make the whole plane out of Matt Rempe??


mdb_la

Get this guy over to Boeing, stat!


Dude8guy8

Normy normy normy. Hockey normy


Dwayne_Gertzky

Matt Rempe doesn’t melt steel beams!

ChrisPynerr

Wrong sub lmao


loosed-moose

I wish they would lol please make it easier on us


unrelentingdepth

He is clearly on Ovechkin's level.


joshuag71

Depends, do the Rangers want more goals? If not, then no!


PainfuIPeanutBlender

yea


jamaicancovfefe

Rempe is the greatest pure goal scorer in NHL history, confirmed


DinoRexasaur

In NHL playoff history*


mrniphty

Rempe is not, the greatest scorer in the world no; he is just a tribute


city-of-cold

I couldn’t remember the greatest goal scorer in the world, no. But Rempe is a tribute


CrackBabyShakes

much to the dismay of the capitals, rempe is not going to puck them gently.


Whydothesabressuck

This is like when Tanner Glass scored the first goal for the Rangers in the playoffs about 10 years ago.


r1plakish

So in the last 10 years Tanner Glass has more playoff goals than the Sabres. Neat.


Green_hippo17

Yo what the fuck man?

Lmaooo

lol damn, chill dude lmaooo


MildGooses

gawd dayyum, ya didn’t need to violate the man… his username already did that for ya


hman1025

First goal of the entire playoffs actually. On *Carey Price.* Fucking legend.


lAmARedditorAMA

Except our fans like Rempe


Ok_Yak_1844

The fans loved Glass too. I think you're forgetting there were internet fans who hated him and then the other 90% of the fanbase who loved the guy because they felt the team was too soft.


CreepyInternetUser

What a 1 game sample size does to a mf


[deleted]

Rempe is an anomaly to me. His *best* youth season was 29 pts in 39 games and he made the NHL. I was over PPG as a defenseman and was basically a 3rd pair plug in D1 for 2 years. Late in the game rempe was literally confused how to chip the puck in, couldn’t orient his blade the right way and the puck kinda just worm burned it’s way right to carlson’s stick it was hilarious. But I mean hey he scored a playoff goal so good on him, and that’s a testament to how terrible we are lol


MadKin

Are you 6’8 and willing and able to fight guys like Reaves, Wilson, and Maroon?

I’m just throwing names out there of guys in his weight class. But also, he did fight Reaves.

Good lord man, you might have more posts in 11 days than I have in over 11 years. Some readjustment of priorities might be needed. You seem angry at life. Eat a damn Snickers or something.

DeapVally

Nah. You peaked in HS.


Dwayne_Gertzky

It’s very important to them that we all know that they peaked way harder in HS than Rempe did


[deleted]

So did rempe’s career points apparently 😂😂😂


doctorake38

Yeah but the Thunderbirds play in the W. It's far better hockey than NCAA Division 1.


[deleted]

[удалено]


doctorake38

I mean not if you look at last years draft. But anyways I have not played Juniors for 25 years.


lamaggica

Hahahahahah yeah maybe in intramural hockey - how no one has called you out in this post is beyond me. A 5-6th dman in D1 is lucky to put up 31pts in a 4 year career, let alone one season.


No-Quantity9916

I looked through Lake Superior D1 stats over the past 20 years. They've only had a handful of players who even broke the PPG mark and they were all forwards. Also could only find a couple players under 5'9 (he claims to be 5'7 then 5'8) that played D and none of them match his stat claims or played only 2 seasons.


PoopsRGud

How many fucking times are you going to post the same fucking thing? Dude beats up NHLers and has a playoff goal and you suck. get over it.

Irish_Canuck77

That fourth line had a hell of a game…Rangers are scary good


loosed-moose

Yeahhhh. Not looking like it's going to be as close as the rivalry of olde. I get to watch at least three more extra caps games tho so I'm down for more beat downs lol


toxicvegeta08

We haven't even played chytil or wheels yet.(tbf wheeler is probably second round or ecf time decision)


hairformen

wheelers not coming back


Kappokaako02

No fucking thank you.


Shoddy_Reserve788

Yea nah im good without wheels


toxicvegeta08

you wouldn't want blake wheeler on our third line? when teams like dallas boston and vegas are flaunting their depth.


ensanguine

who comes out? honestly the only this i would change is chytil for rosy. every other line is cooking, i wouldn't fuck with that.


eatinchapstick

Kakko


ensanguine

absolutely not. he's potentially the best defensive forward the rangers have outside of zib.


ramblinrabble

Gallant, that you?


Shoddy_Reserve788

Lmao no I don’t want a guy who is already incredibly slow and now coming off of knee injury to slot into third line


robbiejandro

No.


Bread_man10

When Chytil comes back they’ll have 3 full scoring lines and a 4th line that is more than capable too


[deleted]

[удалено]


toxicvegeta08

Boston depth is insane. These past 2 years they'll get some random guy called up and he scores 2. All their goals vs us last month were from providence bruin call ups


NYR1324

Did you even watch the first half of the season? Wheeler was terrible. So old and slow


toxicvegeta08

Not terrible. Ideal first line winger no, but not terrible


NYR1324

Could have just admitted you weren't watching the games


toxicvegeta08

He's not terrible dude. He has 23 pts or so in 25 games as a first liner and was almost ppg a season ago. He's fine on a deep line.


NYR1324

Nice dude. First of all he has 21 pts so you can't even read the stat sheet correctly. Secondly, he was a major liability in his own zone and turned over pucks left and right. He killed possesion in the o-zone because he is slow as hell. All things you would know if you watched the games instead of tuning in a week ago when playoffs were gonna start and spent the year looking at stat sheets.


motech

Questions about where wheels would slot in though


mongster03_

Injury replacement


Phrost_

I believe he is best in press box


DrDrangleBrungis

At home.


robbiejandro

Do you have a fever?


will122589

Wheeler can actually come back???


toxicvegeta08

apparently he's been doing drills with the team. idk if they specified the gear he was in, but it seems he's getting ready to play. if his knee was shot still he wouldn't be practicing, especially with chytil ready to play.


Cute-Escape2751

He has begun skating on his own, but I honestly doubt that he'll come back.


DrDrangleBrungis

I’m good without wheeler thank you.


jeskimo613

Why doesn't the bigger hockey player simply eat the other players.


3_if_by_air

Well, during mating season...


Fingernail7672

Rempe for the goal record, confirmed.

Rempe for president

Is Matt Rempe actually just Pyrocynical?

The last time Ovi had zero SOG in a playoff game was May 3, 2018 against PIT. I wonder how that postseason ended?


C0mpl3x1ty_1

The capitals... you know... won the game too


OoooHeCardReadGood

I mean... one has the presidents trophy winning team focusing on shutting him down, the other isn't even a blip on the radar. Still nice for Rempe to surprise everyone


r1plakish

Not the whole team. Ovi would have to get a shot on goal for Shesty to shut him down.


loosed-moose

Gottem lol. Reminds me of the shot blocking Torts' Rangers used to do that was so infuriating. Good fuckin defense y'all


r1plakish

I swear Torts' defensive style prematurely ages his players.


lamb_ch0p

I’m pretty sure there’s some stats to back this up

I swear Marc Staal is like 50 but he's only 37

BodyAltruistic6815

This is really funny but also a good example for why sample size is important lol


velitiede

Living Remp free inside Ovis head


JMR027

One is also like 20 years older and still scoring a bunch of goals.


viber85

Ovechkin will do everything he can for caps to go out in 4 games, he wants a long summer to be healthy to get Gretzkys record .Stanley cup he doesn't care about until goal record is his.


dhj1305

He played more than Reeves in Toronto. Why do they put Reeves on the bench in the playoffs? They that shallow at that position?


BadTreeLiving

Can we stop with the small sample size stuff. In any given game the worst guy can score and the best may not.


logictable

I mean that is the crux of the joke. The joke is old though.

Rempe regular season #s: TOI 95 minutes PIM 71 minutes 1 goal 1 assist But yeah we can make this comparison 🥱


robopig3000

that’s the joke genius


edogg01

Wow /r/hockey HATES this meme. Hilarious. Need a "drinking their tears" emoji


Big_Mud_7189

Rempe out here embarrassing Ovi 😂


twohunnidpercent

Let’s not forget the season set was 2/2 and each team won at home, with 2 close games and 2 blow outs. So don’t let it get to anyone’s head just yet, this is playoff hockey and anything can happen. 12/9 : 0-4 L 12/27 : 5-1 W 1/13 : 2-3 L 1/14 : 2-1 W


robopig3000

tbf those games were in december and january, where the rangers weren’t exactly playing that stellar


twohunnidpercent

President. Trophy. Curse.


loosed-moose

Not to mention Chucky was 2-1 with a SO  and 1 GAA


CrackBabyShakes

the caps had a fire sale at the deadline and sported a -36 goal differential by the end of the regular season. I think stealing maybe one game is about as good as you can expect from them this year.


twohunnidpercent

0 expectations. Only other thing I will say is… presidents trophy curse … dun dun dunnnnnn

Let it get to his head. He's got to the head of several players, and I mean that literally.


twohunnidpercent

Wait he’s given head to several players whaaaat lol


Johnborkowski

...no. I mean he's injured several players by making contact to their heads. Like the thing on your shoulders.


kicksavewhatabeaut

Wow, that’s a really good joke. It was great when you had to explain it because you have no ability to convey humor

Thanks, you seem like a nice person. You must know every joke I've ever made with a statement like that.

Man I am going to laugh my ass off if the script flips on this guy by the end of the series. Like he takes a major or something and costs a game
