He's a fine 4th liner, but again, he has ALOT to learn. Cant continue to keep cheap shotting players.
He needs to show restraint, better to miss the hit than to extend the elbow and cost your team.
The idea that he "keeps throwing" cheapshots is just BS. THIS one crossed the line, keep his elbow down, and its barely being discussed.
But, I expect 3 games as a message. I don't think the max suspension is required here because it is a first time offense and the on ice officials got the infraction right; including the misconduct. Time will tell, but I also expect the Rangers to be judicious about dressing him because he does need to learn when to go and when not to. And when is NOT when MacDermid thinks he should, what an ass.

Sorry, but yesterday was a time when he had to “go” to settle the issue before he leaves.
Him not settling his battles means that another player who is more important, like Lindgren, Trouba or Cuylle will end up off of the ice for an extended time.
Yesterday only didn’t turn into a bigger mess because the Devils have pretty much quit at this point.
I understand your point, but I was referring more to not throwing the hit. Because he had to raise the elbow, he needed to turn away and choose another hit at a different point.
He was willing to fight, think the refs jumped the gun. And I absolutely detest when people say that we'll just take out your guy. There is an honor code amongst the gritty guys in the NHL, and that goes against it in my opinion, because it sets a cycle in motion. You hit Panarin because of Rempe, then I'm going after Jack, and so on.
I’m not worried about someone going after Panarin. I don’t want to lose Trouba or Lindgren for half a game because they have to clean up one of Rempe’s messes.
Losing Trouba for half a game is always a risk because, inexplicably, he is required to fight after CLEAN hits.
If the refs let them go, that wouldn't bother me.
I'm not sure it would have ended as well as MacDermid has it playing out in his head, but pretty sure we'll find out in their next game.
The guy has about 10:00 more PIM thru his first 10 games than TOI. It’s absurd and unless he learns how to play correctly in the NHL…he won’t be here for long.
Of those PIM, overwhelmingly majority is fights. Hes been an impactful player. He was responsible for the game winning goal
The majority of those penalty minutes is the other teams’ goons challenging him in his first 3-4 games.
But I get Devils fans being pissed. Last night’s hit was way too far over the line.
Impactful or not..he has to learn to control how he plays. He controls his physicality better and he’s a very solid 4th liner.
Meh, the hit wasn't that bad. Mostly due to the Devils player being so much shorter that his head it naturally at Rempe's elbow/shoulder height.
hit was an illegal elbow through and through. Watch it again. He raises his elbow to siegenthalers head.
I’m a Rangers fan. It was a bad hit. Elbow clearly raised and contact first to the head.
Elbows always go up during hits, especially when holding a stick. It's unavoidable.
Yeah, but you still think the Bastian hit was dirty. So, first offense? Yup, a bit steep.
Your point isn’t true based on the DOPS history. They constantly take into account whether the person who got hit had lowered their head or not when doling out punishment, just like they consider whether the hitter’s skates left the ice.
DOPS..yes.
I’m talking about hit to head penalties. Gonna be called on the ice 100% whether or not the person who was hit had his head up or down. Those are dirty hits, no mattter what DOPS says.
They really should consider keeping Miller with Schneider when Trouba comes back. Miller has had a pretty meh year and then looked great in the last week.
Also, someday people will finally realize that Jones’ ability to move the puck far outweighs the downside of him being small and getting outphysicaled from time to time.
I just indirectly posted something similar. Miller and Schneider both look worlds better (and Jones Gust pairing has been good) without Trouba.
Both teams played solid defensive games except for about a 5 minute stretch in the 2nd.
Puck hits him in the leg & finds the back of the net & now he's the second coming of Gordie Howe.
He also snipes and has it called a goal on ice and then gets overturned due to missing by a pube hair. And yeah, uhh, parking your big ass in front of a net is uhh good. Hockey 101.
Also, fyi, hes #2 on the rangers this season for xGF%, only behind filip chytil. But facts man, those damn facts
