Still don’t think this was suspension worthy, penalty and or game misconduct, sure. Elbow got up entirely too high, the hit wasn’t charging and he didn’t jump into it. It was from behind but guys get pinned from behind like that every single game (aside from the elbow).
This is more about sending a message based on reputation than actually suspending him for his actions on this play. It wasn’t a good play at all by Rempe but this was way over the top. Hell Draisaitl’s regular nut shots on opponents are worse than this hit.Same with Bertuzzis slash last game.
