Matt Rempe Gets Benefit Of The Doubt From Podcast

That is what happened in the huge 5-2 win over the Boston Bruins yesterday.

His presence was missed after a five game absence after he was suspended for four, and reduced to a healthy scratch for one.

Paul Bissonnette goes on the defense of Rempe, and the hit that got him suspended:

Matt Rempe would apologize for the elbow that left Jonas Siegenthaler concussed and called it a learning experience.

He has made a noticeable impact on the team, hammering opponents on the forecheck and making them hesitant to engage in puck battles, giving them a level of physicality they may have lacked in years past.

If Matt Rempe can maintain his physical edge while cutting out dangerous hits like the one on Siegenthaler, there's a real chance for him to stick in the lineup when the Rangers decide on their playoff roster.
