In just the last couple of weeks, Matt Rempe has become one of the biggest names in hockey. At 6'7' and roughly 240 pounds, this rookie enforcer made a name for himself in his NHL debut with the New York Rangers in which he decided to go after the rival New York team's own Matt Martin.
Since that first shift, he has taken on several other worthy opponents in only five games. This has only pushed him further into stardom, making him a potential target for other aggressive players.
Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs has also developed a name for himself as a tough enforcer in the NHL. Provided this, it comes as no surprise that interviewers wanted to ask him point-blank about a possible fight between the two. In response, he gave a lukewarm answer with a mischievous smile.
While Reaves does not seem worried, fans have started responding themselves, expressing concerns for Rempe. They suggest that though this keeps him in the spotlight, the damage it does may shorten his career in the NHL.
While we cannot foresee how Rempe's future in the NHL will pan out, it is safe to say the pair's matchup in tomorrow's game will definitely be one to watch.
