Matt Rempe’s playoff discipline impressing Rangers as much as his scoring touch
NY Post
The kid can do more than throw a punch.
While this is something the Rangers already knew about 21-year-old Matt Rempe, it perhaps came as a bit of a revelation to the Capitals in Sunday’s Game 1 playoff loss to Rempe and the Rangers at the Garden.
Rempe not only scored a goal in his first career playoff game, but he displayed some notable discipline as well, not allowing himself to be suckered into any unnecessary fights by the Capitals as they tried all they could to bait the Rangers’ rookie.
As impressive as Rempe’s goal that gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead in the second period was the discipline he would display later.
