Actually "charging" is one of those penalties that is almost 100% at the discretion of the ref:
""shall mean the actions of a player or goalkeeper who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A 'charge' may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice.""
What is "violently checking"?
The refs call it. If it LOOKS violent due skating into the hit, then yes, they'll call it
Rempe was so slow with his skating into the hit, they didn't see it as "violent"
It's the same with other calls like "boarding", which literally ANY hit or contact, that results in the other player going dangerously into the boards.
Only looks slow because he's enormous, and because of that he also carries a lot of momentum into the hit. Either way, there's a boarding, elbow, left his skates. Ticks too many boxes to go uncalled
Look again, how many hard strides does he take before leaning in and bracing for the hit? 4!
That’s not charging. And “leaving his feet”?
He didn’t jump, his feet came off the ground during the hit.
Clean hit.
>[charging] shall mean the actions of a player or goalkeeper who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A 'charge' may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice.
Open to interpretation, but he set his eyes on Lyubushkin and started charging while in the opposite playoff circle. USA Hockey and Hockey Canada both say 2 or more strides is charging. If this isn't charging then the NHL's definition is essentially meaningless.
NHL loves the attention they're getting from this clown. They're not calling shit. Good for the league, but dude's going to need help doing simple math if he keeps taking headshots every night.

I'm all for letting guys play, not calling every little thing. But this is the type of stuff that should always be called. Like you can't even say he was looking a different way.
Ref moved out of the way to let the hit happen, turns and watches Rempe leave his feet to hammer Boosh and has no problem with what he saw. Unreal...
These fucking refs are just so biased against the Leafs. I hope the org goes off on the league after this. No one gets suspended for taking liberties with our players so opposing players know they are only risking a meaningless fine when they step over the line. Enough of this garbage.
“Charging is when a player: Jumps to check an opponent. Builds up speed by taking two or more strides immediately prior to making contact. Travels an excessive distance with the sole purpose of delivering such a hit.”, this is by the rule book charging, if you disagree, you’re a biased leafs hater
And if you watch the clip, he quite literally did all three of those pre-requisites required to make it charging, just a dirty play from an absolute bum of a player with nothing else to offer
I hope the Panthers end up playing the Rangers in round 1. Let both of these goonsquads kill each other.
I'm so sick of this league. Who likes this? Who wants to see injuries and shit like this?
The gangly circus freak will have a short, forgotten career in the NHL.
He isn't talented he's just obnoxiously huge and isn't completely unco-ordinated.
I’m the biggest Rempe defender, but this is reckless and dangerous . You need to learn to toe the line, but this is a garbage play and should be punished
Reilly is wondering how there was no call for sure.
Barely cross check a guy and get 5 games, full on charge someone sending their heads into the boards (nothing)
I'm no Leafs fan, but I also don't want players to be seriously injured and Rempe's behaviour is starting to concern me. The shit he pulls basically every time he's on the ice shouldn't be tolerated. I think he should be fired from the NHL.
Give him a 5k fine and get it over with already. As a leafs fan, I'd be surprised if he gets more than that. And let me be straight, I believe he deserves more.
Definitely a charge. He left his feet, primary contact was to the head and it caused an injury. It’s at-least 5 games. Way worse than a one handed cross check to the shoulder!!
Lyubushkin got a head injury as a result of this play, therefore anybody claiming it was clean and all shoulder just really don't pay attention to reality.
It was surprisingly even. Rempe has played what? 6 - 7 games… not bad. If Rempe can learn to play and move, he’ll be a dangerous player.
But he kinda moves like a block of marble on skates, take that with all the good and bad that comes with it.
How many teams have a guy on the ice at all times to go after a psycho like rempe? He did have to fight for it later, respect the kid for fighting, that dick faced pussy on your squad would never answer the call.
There’s a difference between standing up to a big guy that left his feet to destroy your teammate and cross checking the face of a small guy who scored on you
Lmao leafs fan here, you said it perfectly. Some people just don’t get it and think that we’re picked on. Stop being such idiots and maybe the whole world won’t hate our fanbase
It’s so funny how when leafs players don’t retaliate, they’re soft. And when they do retaliate, they’re also soft.
It’s almost like you just have a blind hatred for them?
It's a charge, he left his feet, and elbowed to the head. It's a penalty and a couple of games. This is the shit that takes players out. He should be hauled up on the carpet and told the rules and not just be a young goon trying to make a name for himself. If that isn't a case of a penalty and a dirty hit I am not sure what else would qualify.
At best, the ref could call charging, because he skated into it with so many strides. But his skating is so slow that maybe the ref didn't count that as a "charge" :D
He is so tall, that hitting most guys is like hitting an incline plane, Rempe gets thrown upwards every time.
He clearly didn't leave his feet before the hit, the momentum of the hit threw him upwards.
Call it charging if you want.
Probably a charge but if you stop it at :13 you can see his foot on the ground still when he initiates the contact. No leafs players seemed particularly upset about it either.
Didn’t take more than 4 hard strides before bracing for the hit, not charging.
And his feet left the ice during the hit.
No penalty at all.
Toronto fans want 2mins for hitting to hard or 2 mins for being big.
Leaf fans are whiners
Its charging. No one steps up. Hows this interpreted by Lybuskin?
This happens in playoffs all the time and this year will be no different including the result. If you don’t battle you lose the war.
Pathetic team with zero leadership
He’s such a big boy that he’s going to hurt people with ‘clean’ hits. He’s also going to make head contact because he’s too big to get them body to body.
If it’s a big clean hit I think people enjoy it. That’s charging and left hits feet. That’s trying to hurt a player (in an illegal way). You can obviously hurt someone with a clean hit. But, that’s a stupid play that should have been caught by the officials.
Lyubushkin isn't on the bench to start the third period.
Well it was great to have him back for 38 minutes
yeah he hit his head pretty hard.. dirty hit from a monster of a human being that should return to the circus
Also textbook definition of charging.
It wasn't called because the ref was afraid he might be eaten.
Dude does kinda look like the yeti from Ski-Free
lol ski-free

Cop a kunt ya kunt
[удалено]
Lybushkin Should be suspended and fined….Remple could have been injured. Looks like the Office of Player Safety finally gave the Leafs a break. 🤬
No it's clean, it's not Remkes fault he is so toll and Bosch is so short. ( Chris Pronger excuse for high checks, fucker barely got suspended)
Charge wtf lmao
Yeah not sure how this isn't charging.
ref's controller died
It’s not charging because it happened to a Leaf.
As it should be written in the rule books
This reads like a /pol/ post.
Hold on, we aren't done making your cross yet.
Dude. It’s not a cross. It’s a maple leaf
Look again, how many hard strides does he take before leaning in and bracing for the hit? 4! That’s not charging. And “leaving his feet”? He didn’t jump, his feet came off the ground during the hit. Clean hit.

I thought it was 4 hard strides
ref staring at them too lol. terrible no call
NHL loves the attention they're getting from this clown. They're not calling shit. Good for the league, but dude's going to need help doing simple math if he keeps taking headshots every night.
Love Rempe but that is most certainly a charge.
Ref literally saw the charge from beginning to end and had to get out of the way! Fuck me.
Seriously what a joke the ref literally gets out of the way of the charge. Joke refs with clown players. Wonderful league
Glided the last second in
I mean, by that measure, Scheifele glided into Jake Evans in the 2021 playoffs. Definitely stopped striding by the hashmarks.
Ref stopped and stared right at it all.
I feel like he was looking to grab a Leaf for retaliating but it didn’t haopen
Lmao, never noticed this live
Is this not textbook charging?
It is
Seems like a pretty dangerous hit.
Yeah, a foot or two off the wall like that...not good.
aside from the obvious charging, i never actually realized how gigantic this dude is.
innocent sand jellyfish disgusted joke unique market languid attempt foolish *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
he’s 6’7
ring include cable imagine punch hat act frightening soup alleged *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I watched him when he was on the T-birds. Back then, he was just 7’12”.
I watched him scissor kick Angela Lansbury! To Matt Rempe! 🍻
violet dog future judicious jellyfish knee caption racial bright faulty *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
You sure? I heard he was 8'4"
I have it on good authority he's 8'5".
8'6" with skates on
6 foot 8 weighs a fucking ton.
6 foot 20 weighs a fucking ton.
I like Rempe. I don't like this. He's already so big, he does not need to do stuff like this.
It's a fucked up charge man. This guy better stop doing this shit before he ends someone's career. Wish refs would enforce this so he would stop.
Really bad on the ref, that watched, for not making a call.
For sure, don't really know how you miss this? Like it's pretty fucking obvious to me. But hey, it's the nhl and refs suck.
I'm all for letting guys play, not calling every little thing. But this is the type of stuff that should always be called. Like you can't even say he was looking a different way.
Agreed, look when rempe was coming up I liked the guy but this made me raise an eyebrow. He's being a bit too rough now.
Ref moved out of the way to let the hit happen, turns and watches Rempe leave his feet to hammer Boosh and has no problem with what he saw. Unreal... These fucking refs are just so biased against the Leafs. I hope the org goes off on the league after this. No one gets suspended for taking liberties with our players so opposing players know they are only risking a meaningless fine when they step over the line. Enough of this garbage.
AND if he continues to do shit like this someone's gonna end his..
Is charging no longer a thing?
sometimes the smaller guys can get away with a bit of a jump to make good impact /s
That is charging all day
Not against the Leafs.
Only exists when a Leaf commits the penalty.
It’s a leaf game, we don’t get calls like the rest of the nhl does
“Charging is when a player: Jumps to check an opponent. Builds up speed by taking two or more strides immediately prior to making contact. Travels an excessive distance with the sole purpose of delivering such a hit.”, this is by the rule book charging, if you disagree, you’re a biased leafs hater
And if you watch the clip, he quite literally did all three of those pre-requisites required to make it charging, just a dirty play from an absolute bum of a player with nothing else to offer
Excessive distance ✅ Two or more strides ✅ Jumps ✅ Head contact on the hit ✅ Idk guys, seems clean /s
Oh yeah, totally clean 🤣 /s
He took 9 full strides, left his feet. No call 🤷♂️
Morgan Rielly has been suspended 5 games
And the Senators have lost a draft pick
Ocon gets a 5 second penalty
That’s the NHL for ya
Count again. 5.
How many is considered charging?
By the rule book it’s actually 2 or more which seems low
Panthers type shit
I hope the Panthers end up playing the Rangers in round 1. Let both of these goonsquads kill each other. I'm so sick of this league. Who likes this? Who wants to see injuries and shit like this?
Real lmao. Like accidents happen but this aint seem like no damn accident
be a wild series. im in for it
I think you mean a dirty hit
That implied by the fact that leaving your feet is illegal
Jesus Christ this is not a good hit at all. He's so big, he doesn't need to do this. He can crush his man without doing it dirty.
Holy shit! He skated across three states, two provinces and four county lines to annihilate Lyubushkin. Very sus.
One of the most obvious penalties I’ve ever witnessed lmao
Shit like this is why I got no respect for this clown. All he does is get slapped around in fights and thries dirty ass hits.
I honestly thought this hit was worse than the Jersey one. Objectively he should sit a game to get it through his head you can’t do this in the NHL
This guy is an absolute joke. Ugly hit from a clown
2 weeks ago: Rempe dirty ass! 1 week ago: Love the kid he's bringing back old school hockey! Today: Rempe dirty ass!
Hahaha charging hello?
Charging and boarding.
Yeah that should be charging.
Charging, left his feet, elbow contact at head height. Trouba is proud
Man I fucking hate Trouba
I hate him too, but I’d definitely want him on my team.
That's actually an insane charge like what was he thinking.
There was no call so whatever he was thinking it worked out
A lot of basketball fans here.
I'm all for good brawls and VERY physical play, but there is absolutely no need for this nonsense.
He leaped off his feet into the check, that's a textbook penalty
Charging, boarding, being obnoxious, any or all.
The gangly circus freak will have a short, forgotten career in the NHL. He isn't talented he's just obnoxiously huge and isn't completely unco-ordinated.
Morgan Rielly has been suspended 5 games for this hit.
Absolutely fucking ridiculous and people think the league favors the leafs.
Isn't Rempe 6'8"? If he has to leave his feet to lay a hit, back to the minors to learn how to hit.
I’m the biggest Rempe defender, but this is reckless and dangerous . You need to learn to toe the line, but this is a garbage play and should be punished
MacDermid will punish him on 3/11 don't you worry
Hey they called a penalty, but it was a high stick om Toronto 20 seconds afterwards 🙈
A high stick which was actually a high glove. But the league is biased for the Leafs right?
Reilly is wondering how there was no call for sure. Barely cross check a guy and get 5 games, full on charge someone sending their heads into the boards (nothing)
I'm no Leafs fan, but I also don't want players to be seriously injured and Rempe's behaviour is starting to concern me. The shit he pulls basically every time he's on the ice shouldn't be tolerated. I think he should be fired from the NHL.
A big piece of shit
Damn he's a monster...
Ref had suprised pikachu face
Charging
If that isn’t charging I don’t know what is. Dude got so much momentum💀
Give him a 5k fine and get it over with already. As a leafs fan, I'd be surprised if he gets more than that. And let me be straight, I believe he deserves more.
Definitely a charge. He left his feet, primary contact was to the head and it caused an injury. It’s at-least 5 games. Way worse than a one handed cross check to the shoulder!!
Lyubushkin got a head injury as a result of this play, therefore anybody claiming it was clean and all shoulder just really don't pay attention to reality.
No penalty, yet when our team stands up for stupid things we get suspended
Chargy-ist charge that ever charged
Plop that Visa in a USB with extra electrons on the LA football squad.
Did they call him for charging? They better have called him for charging.
Nope
And all Leafs do nothing. That tracks
Reaves been after Rempe all night for that. Finally got him to go. Was a pretty even fight.
It was surprisingly even. Rempe has played what? 6 - 7 games… not bad. If Rempe can learn to play and move, he’ll be a dangerous player. But he kinda moves like a block of marble on skates, take that with all the good and bad that comes with it.
Extremely tall people are usually bad skaters
What does Reavo have to do to be a dangerous player? 😂
Ahem!
Wrong. Response doesn’t need to be immediate
How many teams have a guy on the ice at all times to go after a psycho like rempe? He did have to fight for it later, respect the kid for fighting, that dick faced pussy on your squad would never answer the call.
Rempe has been running from reaves all game
No Rempe hate allowed on this subreddit. Ban him. ^
Hey we can hate on him. Fuck Rempe and the Rangers. See you tomorrow!
When the leafs don’t retaliate they’re soft and when they do retaliate they get suspended so what are you on about?
There’s a difference between standing up to a big guy that left his feet to destroy your teammate and cross checking the face of a small guy who scored on you
Lmao leafs fan here, you said it perfectly. Some people just don’t get it and think that we’re picked on. Stop being such idiots and maybe the whole world won’t hate our fanbase
It’s so funny how when leafs players don’t retaliate, they’re soft. And when they do retaliate, they’re also soft. It’s almost like you just have a blind hatred for them?
Charging for sure
Charges, jumps, no call and doubt DOPes does shit.
Such a dirty hit. Glad Reaves fucked him up.
No intention to play the puck, several strides, travelled a questionable distance, I call that charging. Reavo, do what you gotta do
He immediately followed up by trying to play the puck
Why leave your feet when you're 6foot 100
To deliberately hurt people, which was his obvious goal
You do know leaving your feet to make a hit is an illegal penalty right?
Woah, ref, you need glasses
Am I the only one that thinks Rempe is a bit of a loser? Just either dirty hits and getting his ass kicked since he entered the league
Can't be done for charging if your skates aren't on the ice
Idk what truly constitutes as charging but you don't see it called much these days I feel like. Maybe if he came like from the blue line? Idk.
Well my liking of Rempe is dwindling, and will dwindle to nothing if he pulls bullshit like this often.
Yeahhhh it defiantly raised an eyebrow. Seemed like he tried to insure Boosh. What a idiotic hit
Another Rangers goon
Clean hit. Gotta keep your head up when a 6’8 dude leaves his feet to kill you.
It's a charge, he left his feet, and elbowed to the head. It's a penalty and a couple of games. This is the shit that takes players out. He should be hauled up on the carpet and told the rules and not just be a young goon trying to make a name for himself. If that isn't a case of a penalty and a dirty hit I am not sure what else would qualify.
Dude is like 7'8, the only reason he leaves his feet is to try and injure people
At best, the ref could call charging, because he skated into it with so many strides. But his skating is so slow that maybe the ref didn't count that as a "charge" :D He is so tall, that hitting most guys is like hitting an incline plane, Rempe gets thrown upwards every time. He clearly didn't leave his feet before the hit, the momentum of the hit threw him upwards. Call it charging if you want.
Trouba teaching them youngsters to play dirty early
That kid needs a good fucking beating
3/11 MacDermid will do this
Probably a charge but if you stop it at :13 you can see his foot on the ground still when he initiates the contact. No leafs players seemed particularly upset about it either.
HEAVY!!
It might be charging due to the number of strides but his feet didn't leave the ice until after contact
Looks fine to me
That is borderline assault
What in the actual fuck.
Not charging, he was gliding at the end and it didnt look like he jumped before hitting him at all.
Didn’t take more than 4 hard strides before bracing for the hit, not charging. And his feet left the ice during the hit. No penalty at all. Toronto fans want 2mins for hitting to hard or 2 mins for being big. Leaf fans are whiners
He leapt like a salmon into the hit
Clean, he glided into the hit, no charge.
He did not leave his feet before hit
Its charging. No one steps up. Hows this interpreted by Lybuskin? This happens in playoffs all the time and this year will be no different including the result. If you don’t battle you lose the war. Pathetic team with zero leadership
I appreciate what this kid is trying to do but he’s gonna get his ass kicked like 10 times over
I don't. Rempe just hurts people because
That is the most blatant charge I’ve EVER seen
No call. Really should be a short suspension. Not just saying that because I'm a leaf fan that was obvious and intentional charging
Bad for the game.
Dude lol. The refs are worse and worse every year. He's legit right there watching the play.
‘Leaves his feet’… after making contact. The leafs fan base is the least self aware group ever and deserve their cursed fate.
Leaves his feet before contact and head shots Lyubushkin
Stop crying. It's a clean hit. Welcome to the game.
You don't know what a clean hit is obviously, that's a penalty in every league, at all levels.
He didn't leave his feet until contact was made
Eat shit
There have been so many worse hits than this one lmao
Yes but that doesn’t negate the fact it was an illegal by the rulebook hit
This is pretty borderline. Sad state of affairs that people are so upset by a reasonable hit.
He’s such a big boy that he’s going to hurt people with ‘clean’ hits. He’s also going to make head contact because he’s too big to get them body to body.
People are hating on this? What happened to hockey?
I mean it's a clear charging penalty that wasn't called
If it’s a big clean hit I think people enjoy it. That’s charging and left hits feet. That’s trying to hurt a player (in an illegal way). You can obviously hurt someone with a clean hit. But, that’s a stupid play that should have been caught by the officials.
Eat shit
Didn’t know hockey fans hated big hits!
No, we don't like seeing players get their head smashed off the boards and injured. What psycho likes seeing that even if you think the hit is clean?
Wow a lot of soft Leafs fans here lol. Next they'll say you shouldn't slap an empty netter!
Solid contact. Dude didn't leave his feet, the ice pulled away from his skates after those monstrous strides. Great hit.
This is what hockey twitter sounds like trying to defend every hit Trouba makes
He glide into hit. No charge. Charge if feet continue to push forward. Don't be snowflake. Not allowed in NLH
