The New York Rangers' rookie Matt Rempe nearly got ejected on his first playoff shift with a borderline hit on Washington Capitals' Beck Malenstyn.

With less than two minutes into the first period of the series between the Rangers and the Capitals, Rempe landed a questionable hit on Malenstyn that resulted in a two-minute minor penalty.

"rempe immediately gets on the ice the crowd chants his name and then he gets a penalty and that is the matt rempe experience"

It's safe to say that the tone of the series has been set i the first few minutes of the game. Four penalties were called in the first half of the period:

"Four penalties called in the first 8:32 of Game 1 between the Rangers and Capitals. Both teams have had a power play; neither scored. Now it's 4-on-4."
