The New Jersey Devils believe New York Rangers rookie Matt Rempe should be further disciplined for his elbow to the head of defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler, which earned Rempe a major penalty and a game misconduct on Monday night.
"I think there's some intent there to injure the player," Devils interim coach Travis Green said after their 3-1 loss to the Rangers.
The NHL announced that Rempe, who was ejected with 30 seconds left in the second period, will have a hearing Tuesday.
MacDermid expressed his disappointment in Matt Rempe's lack of accountability following his hit on another Devils player in the previous game. MacDermid believed that after such a hit, it was only natural for Rempe to answer for his actions, rather than committing another dangerous hit that led to his ejection from the game.
“After a hit like that, it goes without saying you should answer the bell and be a man about it. Then he throws another hit that gets him kicked out.”
MacDermid reiterated his loss of respect for Rempe, emphasizing that there is a right and wrong way to conduct oneself on the ice.
