There was a time when Matt Rempe would take on any and all comers. It quickly became clear that if Rempe maintained that mindset that he'd have a very short NHL career. So after dropping the gloves with Ryan Reaves, Rempe has become much more selective.
Tonight Rempe once again showed off some of his newfound maturity when he made the decision to turn down a fight with Kurtis MacDermid. MacDermid is a legitimate heavyweight and one of the NHL's toughest customers, make this a very smart choice for Rempe.
