But for some reason Colorado fans were telling me he was scared.
He seems happy and seems very popular with the organization, his teammates, and NYR fans. I just worry about his health moving forward if he continues like this. I don’t anticipate him fighting at the same pace next season, but still.
Luke Gazdic did his regular hit on local radio this morning and he answered a question about whether or not he thought of long term health repercussions while he was fighting in the NHL and AHL. He pretty much said no, even though he did realize he would have long term complications with his shoulder as he had four surgeries before he was 25 (or something like that).
I understand if Luke didn’t want to talk about head issues during this particular radio hit but like – I hope the Rangers, Rempe, etc are keeping this in mind? I just reread Boy on Ice and it’s absolutely devastating. I can’t help but worry for this kid.
Looks like Braden Schneider in the first pick
is it me, or is his pallor a bit ‘undead’?
ELI5 this for me. why is everyone trying to fight this dude or why is this dude always fighting?
I’m here for the new work villain! Fuck the haters and fake doctors in the thread
I mean this in a good way, but literally only in the NHL could a bottom of the roster plug become one of the biggest storylines of the season lol.
Like imagine some random 6th round rookie in the nfl that only plays special teams getting this much attention.
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t understand how these guys take pleasure in punching another player’s helmet and visor over and over with their bare hands. It’s one thing if they have no visor or their helmet’s off and you can actually connect with your punches, but these guys are doing just as much damage to their own hands as they are to the guy they’re fighting.
Lol love the meatheads who are living vicariously through this dude while not incurring any of the negative health effects of his actions.
Change my mind: if Rempe wasnt 7 feet tall he wouldn’t be a good fighter
Folk hero in the making.
this picture is funny because none of that blood is MacDermid’s. he cut his own hand and his mouth is full of his own blood
40,000 likes in an hour … I don’t think people realize how popular this guy has become in New York. Bro’s already a Rangers legend. Even people who don’t watch hockey know who he is.
Rempe has come into this league with the energy of a Floridian high on bath salts. He’s gonna burn bright and burn fast
Seems like a good kid.
Love to see it
47 pims, 3 ejections, 2 injured players. Under 5m of ice time.
In case anyone wanted his stat line for his last 3 games against the Devils.
Rags better hope he behaves in the playoffs cause 5m PKs will sink them.
He also left out all the pics of MacD pummeling him.
That’s a nice looking watch
I really wanna hate this prick. But damn I love hockey fights. How do I choose which path to take?!😥😥
They’re already gooning it up to be intimidators as they head into the playoffs. They know they can’t match Hurricanes’ hockey skill so they’re out to punch their way to a cup.
What a fucking goober
The virtue signaling Redditors in this thread and in the sub are just insufferable.
Dude looks like a vampire in that first photo.
He reminds me of the monster from Young Frankenstein.
It’s so dumb that players are allowed to punch each other in the face repeatedly but they’re not allowed to take their helmets off.
How many people need to fuck their hands up on a helmet or visor before they change the rule.
All I see is a future CTE victim. Stamp this goonery out of hockey.

Both him and K’Andre had some SICK pictures from last night
And suddenly I realize that all of this – the hits, the fights, the line brawls – has got something to do with a girl named Tom Wilson.
Poor kid might be a vegetable in his 50s. What is that his 5th fight in 14 games?
Should have used “Madness Square Garden”
[That was a banger](https://twitter.com/vzmercogliano/status/1775921359299694609?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet)
and
[I thought I was going to have a good 5 minutes in (the penalty box) with the fellas. We were going to be cuddled up in there, getting cozy and having a good time… I had no idea that was a rule. I was like, ‘Dang it. My TOI didn’t go up that game.](https://twitter.com/vzmercogliano/status/1775926998935769539?s=46&t=xlcNl2L2q066egrbi_cQWw)

[MacDermid was like, ‘We’re going right now,’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I know. I think there’s a reason why we’re starting.’ … It was wicked.”](https://www.lohud.com/story/sports/nhl/rangers/2024/04/04/matt-rempe-other-rangers-describe-wicked-line-brawl-with-devils/73203644007/)
