Devils brawl was all part of the ‘fun’ for Matt Rempe
NY Post
“Rempe Was Running Around,” sounds like it could be the title of a Netflix series documenting the adventures of a 21-year-old, 6-foot-8 ¹/₂-inch tourist in his first visit to the big city.
Only, “Rempe was running around” were the words Jacob Trouba used when talking about what he and three teammates did during Wednesday’s game after they’d been ejected two seconds into the match for their part in the line brawl initiated by the Devils.
Then when Matt Rempe, the star of the show, came off the ice from Thursday’s optional practice in advance of the flight to Detroit for Friday’s tilt, No. 73 was only to happy to fill in the details.
“Oh yeah, I was buzzing around, jumping around, running around, doing flips,” he said as if recounting a sleepover date with his buddies. ”It was fun.
“Just [being] with all these guys, you’re seeing comments on social media, they’re funny and stuff, and I was reading out a couple of them to the fellas there, laughing. It was cool, just cool.”
I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I’m not sure I have ever encountered a player who is as authentic, comfortable in his skin and as happy to be here as Rempe. That said, Rempe is not a caricature. He’s a young guy with ambitions of making it in the NHL. But first, he’s himself.

Just when it appeared that the Rangers might — might — have been gaining at least a smidgen of traction, they lost not only a 3-0 first-period lead, they lost not only a 4-3 third-period lead, they lost not only a 5-4 overtime game to Dallas at the Garden on Monday, but they also lost their tenuous foothold.
