Matt Rempe embarrasses himself in his return to the AHL, Rangers recall him anyway
New York Rangers center Matt Rempe is someone who has caught a lot of heat as of late as someone who doesn't deserve to actually be in the National Hockey League.
"Rempe's first AHL game of the season: Out-attempted 20-5 (worst on the team) and on the ice for 2 goals against.
I don't plan to do daily updates on him but it should reinforce that he still has a lot to prove at the AHL level."
Despite this horrific performance, Rempe has already been called right back up to the New York Rangers. Quite frankly, this is getting a bit ridiculous. It seems like the Rangers do not value Rempe from a hockey perspective at all. Instead, they just want him out there so that he can engage in fights and get the fans riled up.
Only time will tell whether or not he actually remains with the team this time around. There is no doubt that his performances with the team have left a whole lot to be desired. At this stage, it just feels weird that the guy continues to get opportunities.
