New York Rangers rookie Matt Rempe has wasted no time making his mark in the NHL, engaging in fights against notable opponents like Jonas Siegenthaler of the New Jersey Devils, Matt Martin of the New York Islanders, Nic Deslauriers of the Philadelphia Flyers, and Mathieu Olivier of the Columbus Blue Jackets.


As he prepares to face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, media attention turned to Leafs enforcer Ryan Reaves.

Ryan Reaves Sounds Off On Fighting Matt Rempe




The media asked Toronto's tough guy Ryan Reaves if he plans to fight the Rangers rookie tomorrow, and he responded with a grin.

«I don't have the game script, but you never know.»



Rempe has garnered attention for his willingness to take on tough opponents despite his limited NHL experience. Facing off against Reaves, a seasoned heavyweight, presents a significant challenge for the young forward. However, Rempe's fearlessness has already made him a noteworthy figure in the league, and a showdown with Reaves on Hockey Night in Canada could further elevate his profile.


Reaves, known for his tough playing style, has been a key presence for the Maple Leafs, particularly in February. A recent viral moment saw him taking down Liam O'Brien of the Arizona Coyotes in a spirited bout. Clearly relishing his reputation as a formidable opponent, Reaves appears eager for the opportunity to demonstrate his dominance once again.



As anticipation builds for Saturday's game, hockey fans await eagerly to see if Rempe and Reaves will engage in a memorable matchup on the ice.
