Matt Rempe stirred the pot with this former Sabre in Game 4.
The Eastern Conference Final has been immensely entertaining. The New York Rangers and Florida Panthers are very close in skill, and because of this, there has been a lot of back-and-forth action. This was more of the case in Game 4.
For the third game in a row, the Panthers and Rangers went into overtime. However, after losing each of the last two games, the Panthers emerged victorious in Game 4. Former Sabre Sam Reinhart picked up the game-winner.
This game was another close one, so there was naturally plenty of chippiness in the matchup. Both of these clubs play heavy games, so this was expected.
Former Sabres captain Kyle Okposo experienced this, as Rangers enforcer Matt Rempe stirred the pot with the veteran. After the whistle, the 6-foot-8 forward shook his finger at Okposo and said "no."
Rempe, 21, was brought up earlier this season by the Rangers to give them more toughness. So far, he has done that, and it has made the Rangers more challenging to go up against because of it. However, besides bringing physicality, he is also a master agitator, as evidenced by his interaction with Okposo.
Matt RempeIn 17 regular-season this year with the Rangers, Rempe had one goal, one assist, and 71 penalty minutes. He currently has one goal in 10 playoff games.
