looking at their roster, I can't believe Washington gave away the guy 5th in points on their team

This is you going through it right now.

I dont dislike Rempe at all. However you being quite masterful at taking things out of context, Im not surprised you would think that.

"people better take smelling salts and wake up"

Good question. We have no evidence he is or will. I think Rempe will be fine.
- blacksheep1

Everyone has this obsession of Wilson vs. Rempe. Im just saying it would be horrible coaching to put our worst line against their 2nd best line. Also, Wilson averages 18 minutes a game to Rempe's 6 minutes. Its logistically impossible for it to happen.

i'll take rempe's 6 minutes over brodz 8 minutes of cardio....that's just me though.

It's a need to be gaslight. Nothing you said was incorrect or correct. We don't have any idea. Rempe was fine after his suspension. Teams tried to bait him, Florida and Ottawa. He dealt with in a good way. If he plays, I trust Laviolette got the message across.

we shall see, you are guaranteeing that Wilson won't ever be in the penalty box because of Rempe, we will see what happens

I am saying that if it does happen that the two of them end up in the penalty box, thats a win for us, because Washington's offense is so putrid

I dont mind Rempe, but as far as Im concerned, Wilson should be preoccupied with Cuylle and Kreider.

here's what you do, go to MSG and tell all those fans that love Rempe that they need to take smelling salts and wake up, they are all naive to the truth

Putting Rempe out there to "deal" with Wilson would be doing a favor to the Caps. Wilson can and will skate laps around Rempe. Secondly, that line with Protas, Strome, Wilson is pretty good... so were going to put our worst line against it? All because of Tom Wilson? That would not be wise. Wilson been in the league too long, he will bait a bad skating rookie like Rempe into bad penalties. People need some smelling salts and wake up. As entertaining as he is, hes probably the worst player on our active roster.

No one is saying Rempe should be on for every shift against Wilson. No one has even said he should in the every game. And, I'm not even sure where I stand on it. But, one thing that is fact is that Wilson has a history of running around like an idiot when the opposition has no one that can hold him accountable and shrinks from the spotlight when they do.

every goalie stoppage is ramped up x1000 in the playoffs. we've never really seen rempe get involved in that type of stuff before. i'm curious to see how he handles the after whistle stuff.

brodz does nothing for me.

Rempe has been fine, and Im sure there will be spots in the game where Rempe will be out there when Wilson is. However, I want our best defensive lines out there when their top 2 lines are out there.

I think Laviolette probably knows Wilson better than anyone in the building, very confident he knows how to handle him the best way possible
- jimbro83

That's a really good point. Didn't occur to me how well he knows that team.

I couldnt careless what people in MSG think about my opinion. Rempe is the worst skater on this roster. Like it or not.

When did he ever guarantee Wilson won't be in the penalty box because of Rempe? You need to stop putting words in other people's mouths.

Tom Wilson did this when Ryan Reaves was dressed for Vegas. Don't think having a deterrent for him matters. If Rempe can get wilson off his game, great. But Tom Wilson is a turd. He'll do poop no matter who is or is not dressed.

Honestly, I didn't remember that one, and I didn't do any research. Tried to go by the old faulty memory! I just remember seeing Wilson back down from Reaves and also, I think it was, Martin.

I actually think Rempe can play, my last memories of Reaves were him being totally out of his realm in the 2022 ECF vs Tampa

That is not the same as guaranteeing Wilson won't be in the penalty box.
