Not sure if it was Laura Stamm, but her group did and may still do power skating clinics all over the northeast. He's an elite hockey player , been taught how to skate since he was 6!

Dunny Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I don't think you guys understand that a guy like Rempe has been working with high end skating instructors for 15 years, and would be continuing that education to this day. The thought that there's some profound unlocked potential there is foolish. Rempe is a fantastic skater, arguably the best skater on the planet for a man that size. I understand he doesn't have the edgework of Brayden Point, maybe there's a physical reason for that? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't change physics. He's always going to get up-ended, unless he's somehow becomes quadzilla. I actually have no problem with his skating. People are expecting an agility and nimbleness that you're just not going to get when you're moving something 7ft tall and 240 pounds across the ice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s exceedingly difficult for guys that size to manage a frame that big. As said, he’s a very good skater with good speed and mobility at his enormous size. Also as stated, he’s toting around 240-250lbs. You’re not going to be fast and agile at that size. It’s just not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d argue basketball requires even more agility and athleticism. Unless, of course, Rempe is just not physically capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mechanics of skating and running are completely different so I'm not sure how you could even compare the two, but right off the bat one of them is being done on ice so I'm not sure how you're coming to this conclusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he'd be making 20 million as a bench option in the NBA if he had that level of coordination, and not slightly more than minimum wage in the NHL lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one of the faster Rangers due to his stride length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn how to play hockey better instead. I'd rather edstrom. Keep in mind the Rangers went 17-2-3 with Rempe in the lineup. The kid is a young 21 soon to be 22 years old and is working a lot on his game over this Summer. Laraque even said it himself! Edstrom contributed nothing. If he did Lavy would have stuck with him. Rempe brings an element we have not seen in an offensive rookie since God knows how long. Sorry my bad…. They are 21-3-1 with him in the lineup this season: 14-2-1 in the regular season and 7-1 in the playoffs Edited July 19 by RangersLEETCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh just to make one more point the following have printed the following about Matt Rempe in the lineup New York Rangers insider had 16-1-0 on May 25, 2024 Daily faceoff had him 21-3-1 Newsday had him 21-3-1 New York Post had him 20-3-1 no matter what you look at the young kid made a tremendous impact. This Summer he is working on his game more. Wait and see how the Rangers do with him playing more and improved overall play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they lost game 4 and 5 of the Florida series and Rempe dressed for both so I know the stats aren't right. Like any 4th liner he's not the reason they win or lose games. Especially when they win a game where he played 2 minutes. He can be a very good player for them if Laviolette allows him to play, and if he plays hockey and isn't a side show. I don't really care about the record as it's meaningless. If they dress him for every game they're not going 81 - 1.
