Peter Laviolette doesn't hold back when addressing Matt Rempe's game misconduct
New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette doesn't hold back when asked about how Matt Rempe performed for the Rangers Friday night against the Dallas Stars.
The New York Rangers finally managed to snap their losing streak after making a few roster changers, ultimately having Matt Rempe return to the line after being recalled from the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Friday night, the Rangers showed up ready and managed to take a 3-1 victory over the Stars. Unfortunately things took an unexpected turn when Matt Rempe got ejected from the game after laying a nasty headshot on Miro Heiskanen.
And now, Matt Rempe faces a major suspension as the NHL Department of Player Safety made an announcement earlier this morning and ruled that he will have an in-person hearing for that hit.
However, following the game Peter Laviolette didn't hold back and gave an honest response to Mollie Walker of the New York Post when asked about Matt Rempe.
Here's what he had to say:
"I thought he had a big impact on the game. We'd like to stay away from the 5-minute major, but he's doing his best to hit bodies and make a difference in the game. Our guys really rallied around that."
"I thought he led off a little bit at the end, he's just such a big guy. We killed the five and we're moving on."
Laviolette is not wrong, the Rangers truly rallied behind killing off 17 minutes of power-play time for the Stars and still managed to take a 3-1 victory.
