Here are some of the other top reactions on X:
"Bad at fighting and they can’t score…and they suck on the power play…sham team," a third fan wrote.
This kid is a danger to himself (when he fights) and others (when he hits). Can't fight, can't hit (properly), can't play," one X user posted.
"Rangers fan here.. Rempe started out with two good fights and then got slaughtered by Olivier in Cbus and literally hasn’t one a fight since… he is the toast of the team.. read this again…," reacted another.
Matt Rempe might be the worst enforcer I’ve ever seen, he lays dirty hits but can’t fight. He’s a poor man’s Raffi Torres and Matt Cooke," another chimed in.
