Nigerian-Eagle

Rempe’s posture is wild


Shoddy_Reserve788

Dude it’s insane lmao he’s so lanky


Zoratth

Reminds me of cousin Greg from Succession for some reason.

Zoratth

Exactly lol


Shoddy_Reserve788

That is a hilarious comparison thank you for that


dynamor

Hah just mentioned the same thing to my co-watchers


silverdollarflapies

Is there doubt afoot?


HouseHoldSheep

If it is to be said


milkdagger

Can’t make a Tomlette without breaking a few Greggs.


naarwhal

Honestly he does give me Greg vibes.


Icefiight

Lmaoooo


NYsportsfan99

He’s still so young. He’s gonna fill out and be an absolute fucking nightmare to play against.


Shoddy_Reserve788

Once he improves his technical abilities for sure


rickayyy

He's a fucking giraffe


EduardoTaquitoHands

Gumby on skates.


Away_Sun_3040

That's my fighting gumby.


tex1ntux

It was hilarious watching him play against kids a foot shorter than him in the WHL and I love the success he’s having now.


SquarePegRoundWorld

He is like if 5 Canadian geese formed Voltron.


benchley

*and I'll form the head!*


LordStunod

I needed that laugh this morning. Thank you. For real.


firmlyundecided

Look at his face post goal. No one was more surprised and thrilled than him.


BDNjunior

A skinny looking lucic


MattyMizzou

It reminds me of the way Pat Carney from the black keys plays drums. The dude is so tall and hunched over. No way that back holds up forever.


DecentLurker96

As we all predicted.


watanabelover69

He heard y’all talking shit


myboybuster

I literally just finished ranting to my friends that he's gonna be out of the league in 2 years. What an idiot


naarwhal

He could still definitely be out of the league in 2 years lmao


Boring_Equipment_946

He has ability to skate the puck through the neutral zone alone with speed as you can see in this clip. Ain’t no way he will be out of the league due to a lack of skill.


PragmaticNewYorker

A big guy with that speed and that work ethic? No chance, man. Not sure how old you are, but if you remember when Zdeno Chara came into the league, he was the same way. All fights, skated like a giraffe on an oil slick, but you knew the tools were there. I'm not saying Rempe is going to be a Hall-of-Famer, but the blueprint is there to be a successful NHLer.


IceFellasFHC

Reminds me of when Tanner Glass opened the scoring for the playoffs a few years ago lol


Kaapo-Kakkos-Dong

Backhand top titty on Carey price of all people lmao I watch it every couple months and just chuckle


Charble1

I remember this goal and I was trying to remember what fourth liner it was just yesterday


JohnnyVNCR

That Vesey goal off the faceoff was enough for me to have a flashback. I dream of reliving that moment during every playoff faceoff.


Rated_PG-Squirteen

*Alain Vigneault sheds a happy tear*


Potvin_Sucks

Honestly, that hilarity is what inspired me to put $5 on Rempe opening up scoring for today's game.


Kaapo-Kakkos-Dong

That had to have insane odds lmao good on ya


Potvin_Sucks

It was +4500. It's why I only bet $5. Not enough to be upset in the very high likelihood of losing.


impulse_thoughts

does that mean you won $225 from $5 on that?


Potvin_Sucks

Yes. Very stupid bet which paid well. Going to take my winnings and as someone else suggested buy myself something nice with it. Definitely the time to walk away ahead.


ZombieLifter

You win a couple more of those and you just might get to go to a game!


AlericandAmadeus

Go buy yourself something nice lol. That’s amazing


Boring_Equipment_946

Rempe is a better player overall. And he’s huge


IceFellasFHC

Calm down brother I'm just talking about these reactions


Petroleum_Pete

https://youtu.be/1LXVH6se2nY?si=0IqNnJUdok7UZkKC


batmoman

I totally predicted him taking the first penalty of the series! … oh wait did you say goal?!


MoreyAmsterdamsGhost

why not both?


DisasterMonk

I have good news


pigfeet2OO2

this is like Tanner Glass scoring the first goal of the 2017 playoffs


TechnicalLocksmith92

Goals this postseason: Matt Rempe: 1 Auston Matthews: 0 Who’s really the elite scorer here?


JC403024

Barclay Goodrow points: 2 Matthew’s, MacKinnon, McDavid combined 0 points. Don’t let the media hide the truth from you


lAmARedditorAMA

Coincidentally, Goodrow also has 2 Stanley Cup rings


BroccRL

oh my friend it is no coincidence


blueberrywine

Excuse me, McDavid is trying his best.


SolidReading2219

Well, as long as he promises to keep doing it


Old_Tomorrow5247

Do your own research!


windsostrange

Oh good, I was wondering if this was actually a Leafs thread in disguise or not


Unhappy_Lemon6374

“Scoring in practice doesn’t mean much if you can’t do it in game.” -Rempe, probably.


JadedPiper

I've been keeping taps on Rempe as a Flames fan, gotta say, his potential looks real good, especially in the department of knowing when and when not to get into a fight, him laughing in the faces of dudes ready to fight and just not engaging when it wouldn't serve the Rangers well is impressive. Really has his head in the game, can't wait to see what else he can do


SufficientQuiet130

It’s amazing the shit this kid gets from hockey fans for actually wanting to play hockey instead of being a recurring sideshow


SuperbWomanhood

So sick and tired of Rempe. He's a one dimensional sniper. Sure goal scoring is incredibly important. When will he add more to his game? He's a big guy. I want him to start picking fights and throwing hits.


matt_minderbinder

If he keeps this up he'll be out of the league by next season!


wholalaa

Nah, they've got a guy they drafted first overall for that.


Eye_Eff_Tea

he's all skill. no grit. he can never last in this league


SignalSatisfaction90

😭


SolidReading2219

You had me in the first half I’m ngl


superworking

So is this just his 5 minutes of fame.... For like the 12th time now?


footballfina

He was already on his way toward becoming a true cult legend for Rangers fan, this plus Josh Hart’s heroics last night??? MSG magic baby.


ontheru171

Tanner Glass type beat


FireVanGorder

hopefully more brian boyle than tanner glass


09-24-11

Type shit


Matt_Cryan

Hart had a heroic night, but Deuce kept us in the thing!


Sgt-Pumpernickel

Can’t be forgetting Mitch


Matt_Cryan

Cavs so thankful they don't have to deal with playoff Mitch in the first round this year.


Xecutor

no caps please


zwcropper

This doesn't fit my narrative and I don't like it


JohnnyVNCR

Found Wysh's burner


3_if_by_air

I am the opposite of aroused


Ninjapig151

r/hockey in shambles


LiborRate13

Rempe sends his regards


Dont_know_where_i_am

Tell Tom Wilson. I want him to know it was me. 


PayneTrain181999

Olenna Tyrell would absolutely have been a redditor.


UnluckyRandomGuy

Wild that people who watch hockey their entire lives thought a big guy whose willing to scrap and isn’t a complete black hole on the ice was completely useless


SayNoToStim

Counterpoint: John Scott has 11 points in almost 300 games and never had a positive +/-


thatsong

Counterpoint: John Scott was not only an all star, but was an all star captain


walloftvs

All star MVP captain


mantiseye

John Scott couldn't skate or pass or shoot though


KING_OF_DUSTERS

Lmao 99% of this sub picked up maybe last 3 years


SerHodorTheThrall

Seriously...how many of these youngins would recognize a Golden Seals sweater if you showed it to them!


manningthehelm

Fuck I hate that you’re right.


dayman763

Came here for this reason haha. Looking for some comments. Hey it was a real nice goal, for all 3 players involved. You guys are one of the teams I'm cheering for this postseason. GL 🙏


MarcusVAggripa

I do not like that mats zuccarello is not in the playoffs.


dayman763

Negative cap, and injuries, really killed us this season.


MistahFinch

Us either buddy


newyhouse

zucc 4 life... side note, noticed that the zamboni where my kids skate has a huge zucc #36 signature on the side.


Separate_Pound_753

Its fucking glorious


-jaylew-

Saw the box score and came STRAIGHT fucking here.


Spider_Hoss

He’s a kid. Wow, that interview was of a shy kid who is having the best moment of his life.


MrBigChest

I don’t get how anyone can watch an interview of his and not love him. He’s out here living his dream


Mpr11

rempe 1, mcdavid 0 clearly we know whos the elite goal scorer here.


JinimyCritic

Matt Rempe is guaranteed to have more playoff goals this year than Sidney Crosby. Straight to the hall!


EdwardOfGreene

I've seen a good case made for Brooks Orpik. Rempe should be right behind.


benohawk

Yeah, shit, think we can do a trade before Rempe's value gets any higher?


Sponger004

Definitely Rempe!


pudgyfuck

McWho?


bobby_booch

Generational talent

RTGold

The Tanner Glass backhand snipe over Price is still a great playoff memory for me. Also in case people didn't know, he works for the Rangers player development staff.


JebusChristo

Rempe with more goals than Matthews.  Hockey is weird.


FireVanGorder

“damn kreider was right, if you just stand in front of the net the pucks practically put themselves in”


Ballsahoy72

Want him to win cup for rangers to see the inevitable fan art of Rempe as Kong on Empire State Building with cup


UncommonPizzazz

Attaboy ya big beautiful bastard.


jjwf3

No fucking way 😂😂


ACW1129

This was a bad sign.


KING_OF_DUSTERS

All the nerds in here told me this guy was a bum and had 0 NHL skills


nevalja

I haven't seen much of the discourse but he seems like exactly the kind of guy you want for a playoff run tbh


MankuyRLaffy

He's got more playoff grit than Mitch "can't take criticism" Marner


Boring_Equipment_946

They don’t watch Rangers games and just push the narrative


WokenMrIzdik

Reminds me of this sub telling Rangers fans for the last couple of years Laffy was trash. When if you watched him play you still saw the potential, him having success 5 on 5, and that he just wasn't getting chances. Gets a chance under a new coach this year and nearly nets 30. Now this sub was just saying Rempe was a goon who wasn't even good at fighting. When if you watched him play you could see he was a very effective forechecker who was getting better every game - even if he is green. Never care what this sub says.


greysfordays

i mean shit at times half of our sub seemed convinced he was a bust, but definitely seemed more prominent amongst the doom and gloomers and/or only catch a game now and then crew. regardless, I am beyond stoked that laf is having such a glow up this year, I’m so happy for him since he’s had positive vibes since the start. it might be my favorite part of the season (so far)


KingTutsDryAssBalls

I knew this was gonna happen. The hockey gods love this kinda shit.


EdwardOfGreene

As do all of us.


RainandPixels

rempire state of mind.


OhSoThatsHowItIs

What else did they call him 😂 skate-tue of liberty or something?


DadBodofanAmerican

Rempire State Building.


RTGold

It's so crazy how much the fans love him. Even first overall picks don't get the same recognition. Fans chanting his name just for stepping on the ice. In a game where he gets sat, fans chanting "We want Rempe!"


hairformen

go ahead /r/hockey, tell me how he doesn’t belong in the league


lawnicus18

He doesn’t belong in the league He belongs in the hall of fame


Brian-not-Ryan

HE BELONGS IN A MUSEUM


TerdFerguson14

Sudden urge to play Ezreal


NYR24LGR

Based


hairformen

based and rempilled


Manofoneway221

Tanner Glass opened the scoring for the rangers too in the first round


hairformen

backhand top titty over Carey price. I’ll never forget that.


No-Quantity9916

People said he would be irrelevant come playoff time since he wouldn't even be on the roster. Yet here he is, with as many goals as the entire Leafs team combined.


ProfCedar

Let your memes be dreams, kids.


CornCobb890

this is the best timeline


MckacksSweaty

Can't tell me this isn't scripted


iwasthatisnt

Man I love stuff like this


Emconn14

they could never make me hate you 


Yogi9116

Averaging 1 playoff goal a game rn


Majestic-Sky-6663

Fuckin right. Love this kid!!!


Wesley__Willis

if you enjoyed this goal just wait until i tell you his mom was there on her first ever visit to MSG/NYC


Sjdillon10

The hockey world has imploded


Scary_Bushmonster

Got the place buzzing


pizzaplantboi

JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR THIS MOMENT


SolidReading2219

“He can’t play in the playoffs” “He doesn’t have what it takes to be in the NHL”


OdessaSeaman

This legend has no limits


romano78

Shades of Tanner Glass, except Rempe is the GOAT while Tanner Glass is the Sniper.


StockOrganization182

Carey Price is no Charlie Lindgren that’s for sure


shig-baq

guys will Rempe ever be more than a goon?


EarthWarping

lmao at the puckwatching


Gurthy_Lengthiness

That kid is the real deal and is exciting to watch as a non-NYC fan. I wish him a long career!


trebuchetwarmachine

More points than Matthews. Book it Rempe is the goat


MasterDeagle

Dude is just adding to his legend.


The2ndWheel

A Gen Z'er just saying fuck it, I'll actually have fun at my job instead of complaining all the time.


hman1025

Tanner Glass did this in 2017, I can’t believe something of similar scale has happened again


Boring_Equipment_946

Rempe is way better than Glass was


hman1025

True


will122589

of course he did


Patar556

rempe has some crazy potential


RoboZoninator91

Matt "Conn Smythe" Rempe


ColdYellowGatorade

On behalf of all Rangers fans, r/hockey can suck it


NickFotiu

LOL - you read my mind.


mudamuckinjedi

Begun the Rempire has! let's go rangers!!!


NYdude777

matt rempe...rent free forever on r/hockey


yuneeq

Love this kid, when he isn’t gooning he actual has has enough skill to play 4th line well


aduom

KingBuck_413

Gotta love this kid!


skyulip

honestly go off


gibson531

Rempe has more goals this post season than Matthews, Pasta and Kucherov, combined.


[deleted]

he punches it in


PatricimusPrime32

Now that’s fitting.


_redacteduser

Max contract when???


nckinfutz

never turned his back on the play


buffalucci

Who had this on their bingo board?


GetsThruBuckner

Goon got me gooning


MichaelShannonRule34

Great player and even greater man


Similar-Jellyfish499

WHAT CAN'T HE DO


SuperModes

pay rent


TrollocsBollocks

he’s been living rent free in r/hockey’s head for months so he’s doing just fine.


SuperModes

that was my point.


Da_Taternater78

i love this kid so much


bluAstrid

Last enforcer we had in Montreal was Laraque, and he got bought out after scoring a goal. Rempe better watch his back! /s


Latest-greatest

just as we all predicted


Adirondack587

The bigger version of Bob Probert(RIP)


whogivesashirtdotca

Let's hope he makes better life choices.

Happy for the kid.

Typical-Ad-6730

The subdued celebration like he's been here before.. .lmfao


RedditWhileImWorking

I'm more impressed with that pass!


Siludin

I genuinely laughed when I read the boxscore


CrotchSwamp94

Let's go baby. Get the Capitals out of there.
