The New York Rangers have a new rookie forward in Matt Rempe who's been making quite the Impression with his first few fights in the National Hockey League, but it looks like he's just bitten off a little more than he can chew in his most recent tilt.

The Rangers are in Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets and of course Rempe was involved in another scrap, this time against Blue Jackets player Mathieu Olivier; take a look.

Matt Rempe and Mathieu Olivier throw some haymakers in a heavyweight bout

You knew Rempe was never going to turn down a fight, but I don't think many expected him to get dropped after throwing wildly, much less that Olivier would be the one to do it.

I love that this kid is willing to take on all comers, but he can't continue to fight virtually every game and everyone knew he would eventually get dropped.

Maybe this will teach him to be a tad more selective about when he wants to drop the gloves
