Before the fight, Rempe glanced back at his bench, seemingly to get approval from his teammates. He also could have been looking for an indication from the coaching staff. However, his teammates were fully behind him so he dropped the gloves.

Earlier in the game, Reaves offered to go but the rookie turned him down. Luckily for fans who enjoy this kind of hockey, they ended up going anyways.

This is Rempe's 4th fight in seven career NHL games. At this point it seems like he's going to drop the gloves every night, making the Rangers must-watch television.
