New York Rangers Rookie Matt Rempe Speaks Out On His Suspension For the First Time
In a recent interview, Rempe discussed about his hit on Siegenthaler and what he learned from his suspension.
Here's what he said:
"Obviously, watching back, I did. I made a mistake I thought I hit the wall, but I ended up hitting him. That was unfortunate. I'm sorry about that."
"More control of my body, just stuff like that. If a guy is pulling out of a hit, just got to be careful. It was an accident. I thought I was going to hit the wall Never want to see a guy get hurt or anything like that. I'm still going to play super hard, play the same way. I'm just going to make sure my hits are clean, like, keep everything compact, keep everything tight. It will be good. Just live and learn."
