[Mercogliano] Rempe said he was “patrolling” during warmups & made eye contract with Martin, so he knew it was going down.
“I know he’s a tough customer and I’ve got a lot of respect for him… I was like, hell yeah.”
He said after Martin told him he’s got better reach than Zdeno Chara. #NYR

Kid is already filled out for his age. Doesn’t look like a frail beanstring like almost kids. He’s going to be a monster.
Apparently, later in Bob Probert’s career, young guys would say to him something along the lines of “Bob, it’d be an honor for you to be my first fight in the NHL” and Probert would oblige. I have a feeling that’s kinda what happened today. As weird as it sounds, kinda classy for Martin to throw with a young kid like that.
