The NHL is heating up as it approaches the playoffs, with players getting more aggressive and fights more common. However, some of the credit may be owed to a rookie who has recently made a name for himself in the league.
Since then, Rempe has taken on Jonas Siegenthaler, Mathieu Olivier, and Nic Deslauriers, and still has only played five games. With his popularity on a massive surge, it was only a matter of time before another NHL fighter Ryan Reaves would speak on him.
With the Rangers versus Maple Leafs game happening tomorrow, Reaves has finally had the opportunity to answer some interview questions on his thoughts on Matt Rempe. During this he praised him for how he is making a name for himself, and pointing out the similarities they have as players.
However, when prompted about how the two of them could match up, he gave a sly grin, but could not give a sure answer on what the result would be.
