P.K. Subban gives his honest verdict on Rangers' controversial rookie Matt Rempe
Former professional ice hockey defenseman P.K. Subban gave his honest take on New York Rangers' controversial rookie Matt Rempe. Rempe has been involved in a lot of fights and become a talking point around the league.
During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Subban said:
"That's a part of the game that's been missing in my opinion for a little while now... It's (fighting) just a dying art. So to see this come back into the game, it's still a part of the game that we want to protect as players."
He continued:
"We want to see it. You ask any player in the league, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any player that doesn't want to see this type of fighting going on in the game. That's what matters, the players."
Subban went on to say that Rempe is still a young player with a lot of hockey left in his career.
"He's just got to continue to play hockey the way that he's been playing and he'll be fine," Subban stated.
Rempe made his debut for the New York Rangers in the 2024 Stadium Series. He made an immediate impact by fighting the NY Islanders' Matt Martin on his very first shift, a scrap that lasted 37 seconds.
The rookie has also already fought Maple Leafs enforcer Ryan Reaves during Toronto's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
In his first eight NHL games, the controversial Matt Rempe has engaged in five total fights.

"The NHL has a new sensation in this kid!"
