The NHL offered the Rangers’ tough guy Matt Rempe an in-person hearing for his hit on Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen that cut short what had been a good game for the young forward.
Rempe was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct after he drilled Heiskanen from behind into the boards and his elbow came up on the hit.
Since the league is offering Rempe a hearing in person, it allows the NHL the opportunity to hand down a suspension of six games or more if they see fit.

Rempe had a huge impact on the game drawing 3 penalties by himself which is more than the whole team in the past few games. But he always find a way to go over the top and waste his opportunities.
He already has a target on his back with the referees.
If only he could know how to pick his spots better he could be a big plus for the Rangers.
Rempe has more ejections than points in 22 career games. He’s an embarrassment
Guy is getting penalized because he’s so big bunch of soft cry babies need to get a clue
Rempe is a disaster and doesn't belong in the league.
Rempe is a difference maker. The hit wasn't so bad… let them play
Mans can’t keep his chicken wing down, AND leaves his feet? Dude eats glue
Sounds like we won’t be seeing Rempe again until 2025.
Brandon London is the man. He and Dexter are NY Post's one two host punch. Always makes every NY fanbase feel at home. LFG Rangers!
Clean hit
It will be 5 games at minimum.
4 game misconducts in 22 games??? The idiot coach downplays the cheap shots by saying he can't help he's big. This kid is going to get himself hurt in the near future as he's a terrible fighter.
Heiskanen had the Puck though, well you can see that He was still on his Backhand follow through of moving the Puck up the Boards
Never seen a guy that big take more shots to the face. He doesn’t know how to not get hit…at all. His career will be short lived with concussions. Just look at the fights with Olivier, Deslauriers and Reaves.
Rangers trade Kakko but let this guy play
