Ex-NHL defenseman takes shot at Matt Rempe amid return to New York Rangers lineup

   

A former  NHL defenseman has taken a shot at a New York Rangers fan-favorite enforcer as he officially returns to the lineup following his eight-game suspension.

Thursday night, the New York Rangers faced off against the New Jersey Devils, which prompted former NHL defenseman Jordan Schmaltz to ript Matt Rempe and label him as the worst player in the league.

It's obviously no secret that the New York Rangers have been struggling this season, but they certainly put up a solid performance against the Devils with a 3-2 overtime win.

Before the game, Matt Rempe faced the media and revealed that he must change his style of play as he is now a "marked man."

'I've got to be a lot smarter, I don't have to make every hit if that makes sense. I gotta still play my game but also, like, it can't happen again or else it's going to be a huge suspension.'I'm a marked man right now. I've got to keep it clean.'

Physicality is definitely a huge aspect of Rempe's game, so for him to just completely change that it will take some time and effort. As for Thursday night, Rempe was practically invisible, proven he needs to work on his speed and skills.

However, ex-NHL defenseman Jordan Schmaltz didn't mince his words when attacking Rempe for his game, saying he could be one of the worst players in the entire league.

Here's what he said in his own words:

Definitely time for Matt Rempe to step it up and change his style. If that doesn't happen, his NHL career could be very short-lived.
