The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing off against the New York Rangers in Toronto tonight. The story line going into tonight's game was if Ryan Reaves and new tough guy on the block Matt Rempe were going to drop the gloves.

In the latter part of the 3rd period. �Any got what they wanted in the latter part of the 3rd period; take a look.

REMPE AND REAVES DROP THE GLOVES AT CENTER ICE 😱

After shaking him off early in the game Rempe finally agrees to go with Reaves in what turned out to be a marathon of a fight for both men. Both landed some good shots before Rempe mouthed to Reaves that he was done and they let the officials separate them.

I'll give the kid this, his gas tank and cardio are unbelievable, but he really needs to work on his defence. He cannot keep eating as may punches as he has early in his career.

I give the decision to Reaves for landing the cleaner of the punches, but it was a close fight for sure
