MacDermid, not one to back down, tried to square up with Rempe, but the officials quickly intervened to prevent a brawl.
It's becoming a bit of a trend with Rempe. This young rookie has already racked up four fights and two ejections in less than a month since his NHL debut. And let's not forget, this isn't his first rodeo with the Devils either—he got the boot in a 5-1 win against them just over a week ago.
After the game, MacDermid didn't mince words. He called Rempe out for his immature behavior, saying he had "a lot to learn" and had lost some respect in his eyes.
The play capped a wild ride at Madison Square Garden, with Rempe's antics following his solid all around performance so far, stealing the spotlight in the surging Rangers 3-1 victory against their Hudson River Ruvals, their third against them and 13th win in last 16 games.
That said, in the NHL, drama always seems to find a way to take center stage, especially when your it's in the core of the big apple.
