Lately, there has been a lot of talk about the Rangers for the club's failures on the ice. Chris Drury seems like a guy ready to implode his core, who just doesn't deliver on the ice.
As of today, the Rangers are 16-15-1, which is disappointing considering all the talent in town.
However, yesterday, the Rangers were talked about for another reason… which is not more positive, far from it.
In fact, as the club faced the Stars, Matt Rempe was back in the lineup…and he gave a pretty questionable hit to Miro Heiskanen.
He was sent off on the sequence.
Now, obviously, we expect that it will not stop at a simple expulsion. We suspected that he would have to answer for his actions, and it was confirmed today: he will have a hearing with the NHL Security Department.
However, what we notice is that this will not be a telephone hearing, but an in-person hearing.
So that means he could be suspended for more than five games. It certainly won't be, but it at least opens up the possibility.
And quite honestly, this gesture deserves a serious suspension. It's an elbow to the head that leaves no doubt, and above all, we see his skates leave the ice.
That's a lot of aggravating factors.
Remember that last March, Rempe was suspended for four games due to a questionable hit on Jonas Siegenthaler. This is therefore not his first offense, which does not help his case.
Note also that last night, Rempe played his first match since November 25… and on November 25, he played his first match since October 29.
He has only played five games this season, including only two since October 29.
So we'll see if Rempe gets a serious reprimand, but we can expect that to be the case. If we summoned him in person, it is probably because we are thinking of giving him more than one or two suspension matches.
