that’s why he’s around so I’m not sure why it matters whether it sends that message to him lolI 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.
Rempe's grip was wrong again. And he had chances to alter it but was too eager to swing. If he fixes that he's the best in the league at only 22... AND he needs to secure his damn helmet. Gripping by Dylan's left shoulder with his left hand he basically locked HIMSELF out, and his right hand was either falling short or landing at the end of extension, so no power. On the other hand McIlrath was punching short too. Maybe one reached Rempe, about the same as reached Dylan. The cut was from Rempe's visor when the helmet was between them and Dylan punched it into Matt's face. hahaha. That's why it was a long shallow slice.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.

Advantage Dylan, barely, he's smart and knows how to work appearance to his advantage as far as the crowd.
McIlrath is a vet and one of the best. Beat Deslaurier this year already as well and lit up Olivier last year. But this is about the best outcome he will get against Rempe going forward.
