Matt Rempe reveals he broke left thumb, underwent surgery after fight with Sharks’ Ryan Reaves
NY Post
Matt Rempe confirmed he broke his left thumb in “many places” during his early season fight with the Sharks’ Ryan Reaves and had to undergo surgery to repair it.
Coming off his return to the Rangers lineup Monday night against the Ducks, Rempe said it was a tough rehab process.
He worked out in the gym for the first little while before he began power skating for a couple of weeks without a stick.
As soon as he could hold a stick again, Rempe progressed with light stickhandling and passing before working in more and more.
Asked if he knew something was wrong immediately during the Oct. 23 fight, the 6-foot-9 forward said “No.”
“I got to the penalty box, we were saying, ‘Good fight’ to each other, and I looked down at my thumb and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this thing’s not right,’ ” Rempe said after the Rangers fell, 4-1, to Anaheim at Madison Square Garden. “It just got tangled up in his jersey and it obviously was kind of in the wrong spot and I was throwing a lot of left jabs. I just kept going, ‘Bang, bang, bang,’ and I guess I was just kind of breaking it and breaking it.
