Having spent more time in the penalty box than on the ice in the regular season, Matt Rempe has improved his game for the playoffs, having scored a goal in the team's first game of their series against the Washington Capitals, and having been a physical threat consistently.
He may have taken things too far tonight, however, as a massive hit on the Capitals' Trevor Van Riemsdyk may lead to supplemental discipline.
About halfway through the first period, Rempe chased Van Riemsdyk and threw a massive hit right into the boards. Multiple angles have emerged suggesting that there may have been impact with Van Riemsdyk's head.
