Now, a day later, Rangers Matt Rempe and K'Andre Miller who both took wins in their fights at puck drop took to social media to address the brawl that began the game.
Both players appear to be very happy with their efforts, and with their team getting the victory to keep them firmly in top spot in the Eastern Conference, the momentum they're building ahead of the playoffs is key. With Toronto, Boston and Florida all possessing big, physical threats, the Rangers have now shown that they can go toe-to-toe with anyone whether it be Rempe, Miller or captain Jacob Trouba, and that gives them a major edge.
They will still need to win the game beyond the physical stuff, but with the team setting the tone just weeks out from a potential Stanley Cup run, it appears that they are ready to claim their first Stanley Cup crown since way back in 1994.
