00:00You cannot put this kid in development pull him out two games later to just put
00:07on a fight in a game for no freaking reason and I don't say no freaking reason
00:11because he's not impactful when it comes to dropping the gloves and yes if you
00:14want to bring back the life of an enforcer to hockey do so but what is the
00:17strategy behind Matt Rumpy when you look at what he has done career-wise and how
00:21they should be focusing on developing a bottom six center they're kind of I
00:26don't know hurting him more than they're helping him let's take it back to his
00:29WHL days first of all coming back from injury Matt Rumpy had to I don't know
00:34get back into rare form when it comes to being a center what is the role of a
00:37bottom six center being defensive minded for one being somebody who could
00:40separate players from the puck for two and being someone who can create
00:42turnovers Matt Rumpy is six freaking eight why are we not using him for puck
00:47separation in turnovers and we've seen glimmers of this ability but going back
00:52to the WHL was unable to play with the Thunderbirds originally got cut then
00:56accumulated an injury coming back from injury though after being forced to
00:59miss 15 games posted 12 goals 19 assists 31 points and that's in 47 games you do
01:05the math on the average of his production per game and after that 2021
01:08to 2022 17 goals 6 assists that's 256 games this is a kid that can perform and
01:14do a lot more than drop the gloves and practice punching himself in the face as
01:17well as punching others so I'm not gonna go into too much of a spiel I'm so sorry
01:20Rangers fans but you're kind of doing it a disservice to Matt Rumpy and what he
01:23can actually contribute to your fourth line he needs to hang out down in
01:27Hartford for a little bit he needs to get more production going if you're a
01:30defensive minded center you should not be sitting in the negative column for
01:33ratings when you're playing on one of the top rosters in the league
