It’s not often you see a hockey player laying in the crease and somehow have the goal count for that offensive player.
That’s what the New York Rangers’ Matt Rempe did on Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
It was also an unusual site because of how much of that crease Rempe took up.
You see, Rempe is huge.
