Matt Rempe of the New York Rangers has been on a physical tear since joining the league just a week ago, and on Saturday afternoon against a bitter rival, it continued in an amazing way.
Matt Rempe holds his own against Nicolas Deslauriers
During the first period of a 0-0 tie between the New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers, rookie Matt Rempe did something that's become common place for him in his first few games; he dropped the gloves.
This time however he went against a seasoned veteran in Nicolas Deslauriers, but despite the experience advantage, Rempe held his own in what some are calling the best NHL fight in years.

Is this the best fight in the #NHL in the last decade? @hockeyfights @NastyKnuckles
HOLY MOLY WHAT A FIGHT 😳
At just 21-years of age, Rempe has shown no fear in his three NHL games thus far, and with the Rangers needing a presence like this ahead of a potentially deep playoff run, the rookie has stepped up.
Ultimately it was Deslauriers that got the best of this one, but Rempe has shown himself to be a force to be reckoned with, and that's likely not going to change anytime soon.
