They did, he was cost effective depth Chytil really helped drive their youth line last season though, they're missing having him as a 3c and they could really use one I thought they'd nab Monahan but Winnipeg beat em to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, teams want players who can play while bringing that as part of their toolbox The traditional enforcer like Reaves is almost gone from the league and I doubt that role will come back Edited February 18 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also 2-0 without Rielly. I don’t think the true enforcer is coming back. But I think teams still need some pushback. Especially in the playoffs when the whistles go away. Wish we had more pushback in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I credit the rest of the Leafs for that more than Reaves. He's relatively useless out there. And sure, that's why I said teams want players who provide pushback as part of their toolbox. The one dimensional enforcer role is almost dead, that doesn't mean teams don't want guys who are willing to mix it up on their team, they just don't usually want players who only bring that attribute.

Seems like the Raggedy Andy’s brought in a goon. Now other clubs will be collecting face punchers from the minor pro leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They brought him up to answer for Mike Martin, who would be going around trying to stir up shit. Rempe literally fought Martin right after the first drop of the puck. Now you won’t see Martin stirring up any shit the rest of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could very well be a solid bottom six player. https://bluelinestation.com/2022/10/01/matt-rempe/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he was a knuckle dragging face puncher and the Rags brought in a goon to fight him, that supports my point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t get even a glimpse if he couldn’t fight as good as he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Rempe took on Martin that was it. Martin only played 6 minutes. They didn’t need him other than to stir up shit. Once Rempe gave Martin a few shots to the head Martin was pretty much done and his game was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Guess if it was going in anyway and defending team knocks the net off, it's a goal. Don't have problem with this. But I'm sure if Nux scored, they would have called it no goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did his job. Face punched Martin to the point where Martin became irrelevant and only played 6 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
