A wild brawl erupted just two seconds into the New Jersey Devils vs. New York Rangers game, marking a highlight of the NHL season.
The fight, initiated by young Matt Rempe and veteran Kurtis MacDermid, followed a recent suspension of Rempe in a previous game against the Devils, hinting at his eagerness for a rematch. The chaos led to eight players being ejected. Such incidents are rare in the NHL, making this event particularly notable.
Rempe's reputation as a formidable presence on the ice was underscored. The game's outcome was left uncertain with the numerous ejections.
