Matt Rempe is one of the youngest enforcers in the league, but he has already taken on big names such as Ryan Reaves. The young New York Ranger is no stranger to the penalty box, having spent more time in his rookie season inside the penalty box than on the ice at all.
Having elevated his game for the playoffs, including a goal in the New York Rangers' first game against the Washington Capitals for this series, it appears some of his old ways have crept in.
Midway through the first period, Rempe threw a massive hit on Trevor Van Riemsdyk of the Washington Capitals, right into the boards.
He was called for interference on the play, but the violent nature of the hit, and the possible impact with Van Riemsdyk's head, may lead him to a meeting with the NHL's department of player safety.
