It's now Matt Rempe Against The World Including Referees

Among the most astonishing feats in hockey history, we have the never-ending Saga Of Matt Rempe – Again. (Enough of Rempy, already, no?)

Truly, it's impossible to get rid of this guy although the nobel Hockey News columnist Ken Campbell wouldn't mind it too much if that would happen.

But it won't because:

A. Rempe occasionally hurts people on the other teams with gazoonta hits. Rangers fans love that.

B. Even when he doesn't hurt people, he gets penalized.

C. The New York Post – with America's biggest sports section – loves him, and so does The Maven.

D. Whether you like him or not, The Remper-In-Chief gives honest interviews. Sometimes even sweet ones.

E. He doesn't score much but he fights a lot.

So, what's the latest Rempe Rumpus all about. Why another big deal out of nothing?

The entire village of Rangerville is up in arms – elbows, too – because it claims that he's being penalized not for something he's done wrong but because he's Matt Rempe.

Just the other night a foe blindsided Rempe. It looked like the human torpedo hit Matt amidships; except that this time the iceberg went down and Rempe sailed on, oblivious and unhurt.

But no; that's not the end of the story. The ref whistled off the Ranger for something like "interference" while the torpedo skated to his bench.

Only this time this "Refs Out To Get Rempe" rampage got out of hand as if any player who scores once in a blue moon should be the object of any refs missafection.

To his credit, Rempe shrugs off the shenanigans and insists he will continue playing his hard-hitting, hard-skating and rare scoring business and that's that. (Plus, the ref apologized for his bad call.)

As for the redoubtable Rempe, remember we're talking about a guy whose major league career includes 48 NHL games; three goals, five assists, eight points and 123 penalty minutes. And they love him just the same.

Sometimes he gets more publicity than Connor McDavid. And guess what? They'll meet tomorrow night at The Garden!
