These are abrasive players. The exact players Kevo has been trying to supplement the roster with.

Sure it's possible but to start banking on it seems farfetched.

Matt Rempe scored the opening goal of the series.

The game is 10x more physical in the playoffs. These players are still needed until hitting and fighting is taken away from the game.

Matt Rempe sucks, there's a reason he's been a healthy scratch. The Iginlas and Tkachuks of the world are few and far between.

Go get one. If there is a team that can package Picks, Prospects and Players...

Rempe would be more valuable to the Sabres then:

Benson
Krebs
Girgs
Olofsson
Greenway
Jost
Rousek
Robinson
Murray (breaks my hear to admit this)
Rosen
Kulich

I'd have a little more respect for this take if BIGG MURR wasn't included

That's fine, but that's not the argument, the argument is that Rempe scored a goal, so he must be good, Ryan Reaves scored a goal in the Cup final, it doesn't make him a good player.

Matt Rempe wasn't even a good player in Junior. His best season was as a 17 year old where he scored 31 points in 47 games, and as a 19 year old he scored 12 points in 24 games

I actually have no idea what I am talking about.

I wouldn't take that post that way.
The preceding post was that Rempe doesn't help win, just protects other plays by drawing the fight to him.

Rangers in fact won that game 4-1. By definition, he DID help win. That's it.

Who said these things?

How many 4th liners are "good players" ? Not a ton.

These top teams in the league obviously agree with what I've said as they play these players in the playoffs, while you guys are trying to advocate on a message board that the league should get more boring and employ more Tyson Josts cause theyre fast and were drafted in the first round cause points in junior clearly matter.

"Rempe only scored 23pts in his last junior year so he's obviously useless in the NHL playoffs" Tell that to the Rangers staff playing the man

Could mean some moves. Definitely means we'll see some guys used differently. Lindy had his annoying tendencies too, but at least they'll be new. Greenway could be his new Hecht.

I was like 14 when Ruff was fired so be interesting for myself to actually get to know the coach more. (On a fan level)

- DirtyDan

During the season. They also don't even need a full team to beat the Caps, I wonder what happens when push comes to shove and they actually need skill in the lineup

First of all you're putting words in my mouth. I'm saying Rempe sucks, because he does. You want to go out and get a Tkachuk? Sign me up, but enough already with these tough guys who can't play the fücking game. There's a reason Reaves is on his 6th team just like there's a reason Rempe was a 6th round pick 4 years ago and it took this long to get in the lineup.

He's a lot more fun than the last few buttoned up coaches and GM's. Great sense of humor.

He did. It was also his, what, 3rd point in 20 games? Let's not forget, if Chytil and Wheeler weren't hurt, we wouldn't even know his name.

I hope that never happens, that's a big part of the sport but I really don't see the point in having a guy like Rempe. He's a circus side show that the Rangers can afford to play against the lowly Caps. Brodzinski will draw in next series after he gets benched I'd wager, too many undisciplined penalties.

Did you not just do that for me though? A bit hypocritical are ya


I do not want a Tkachuk. Well I don't want big baby Brady.
