McIlrath is tough. He's been doing this for a long time. Rempe is 22 and he will get better and fighting players like Dylan will help to make that happen. It was a competitive battle but I'd give Dylan the edge. That said I think the takedown at the end was pretty much McIlrath having enough and wanting to end the fight. He kind of rushes Matthew off his feet. Tactically it worked out better for the Caps as it charged up their crowd and their team. The Rangers did not get off to a good start and the fight didn't really lift us. They were more ready to play the game than we were.

If he’s just around to fight the other team’s heavies, it’s a sideshow not an advantage.

I don't think they can send him down and it not send a message to him that he was only brought up to do exactly what he did last night. Play 5 minutes and a lose a fight.

that’s why he’s around so I’m not sure why it matters whether it sends that message to him lol
He’s well aware

Absolutely pointless staged fight that did nothing but give the Caps momentum. Just send him to Hartford and let him find a niche because he’s unplayable at the NHL level
