Line brawl breaks out during New York Rangers and NJ Devils
Tempers have been boiling over between the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers for over a month. Things escalated after Matt Rempe delivered a dangerous hit to Nathan Bastian and then reached a fever pitch after an elbow on Jonas Siegenthaler. That night Rempe refused to drop the gloves to defend his actions.
Tonight Rempe was finally forced to drop the gloves and stand up for his actions. Off the opening face off Rempe finally had to answer for his plays.
HOCKEY IS THE BEST SPORT!
LINE BRAWL TO START THE GAME!!
On the play every player on the ice dropped the gloves in a rare line brawl. The referees decided to eject Jacob Trouba, K'Andre Miller, John Marino, Chris Tierney, Matt Rempe and Kurtis MacDermid.
Since this opening faceoff Dawson Mercer and Will Cuylle also dropped the gloves.
In the first 8 minutes, 160 penalty minutes have already been issued.
