What a fucking game. Reavo and Rempe go toe to toe and centre ice in a great bout. That was awesome. Reaves generates so much power it can overpower the distance. Thought Rempe handled himself awesome fucking right’s amazing stuff kid. #LeafsForever
Rempe finally gets baited into a fight with Reaves. He got challenged, looked to the bench, and was given the green light from teammates. He used his reach to get some jabs in with the left hand, but also took some heavy blows. Not an ideal time with #NYR trailing by one.
REMPE AND REAVES DROP THE GLOVES AT CENTER ICE 😱 https://t.co/4raCSRGwnI
Rempe played a little defense for the first time, held Reaves at (his long) arm's length for a while. Both guys landed some blows, but Reaves seemed to land more, harder ones. And then, they just stopped. Looked like Rempe said that's enough. So there you have it. #NYR
Reaves and Rempe finally go, at centre ice no less. #Leafs
#NYR Matt Rempe and Ryan Reaves have dropped the gloves...
