1 down 3 to go baby!
Great win, game would’ve been much more enjoyable if the refs just dropped the puck on the faceoffs instead of kicking someone out everytime
Great game. Game 1 victory. LGR
I was the loudest person saying Rempe should sit this series. I was wrong. Has such an impact on the game.
Rempe!! This roster is perfect right now. Only thing I would do is swap Chytil with rosy if he ends up being cleared for play. (Nothing against rosy, I feel confident with him out on the ice)
Great game 1 win men. I miss you watching the games with your pops in the background
Solid effort to start the series! Game 2 Tuesday!
Good win but I hate Wilson with a passion. Such a scumbag player
Awesome first game! Here we go boys! 👏🏻 🔥
Rempe goal. Vesey goal. Roslovic assist. The big 3 😂.

magine if the rangers AND the canucks make it to the finals for the 30 year anniversary rematch AND it goes 7 games being decided at MSG. that would be some biblical precursor to the apocalypse sh!t AND proof we're living in a simulation AND proof the earth is flat. count on it! 💯
Ovi no shots on goal. Game plan executed well! Rangers def in playoff mode.

REMPEMANIA IN FULL EFFECT😵💫😵💫
Not gonna lie I was worried about Rempe pregame and after that first penalty, but man if he can do half of what he did tonight I'll take it
This series is gonna remind me why I hate Tom Wilson
Fucking Rempe I love that man so much hilarious “charging penalty” but dude so happy for him
Best part of the video is as soon as you sat down Vesey scored a goal and you had to get back right up! LGR!!!!
I miss the old setup
I was there with my Rempe jersey on. Poetic justice that they screwed him on that first call and then he scores the first goal. LGR!
Oh man, if we get points out of all four lines….let's go! And keeping Ovi to zero shots on goal?!
McIlrath played 3 regular season games, all of the sudden he's on a playoff roster. 2nd time a team (Devils – McDermid) altered their roster because of Matt Rempe.
It's like the hockey gods just asked him to write the script of his own destiny…
"Ok, I want to play for the best team in the league and I want to play my first game in front of 80,000 fans at Met Life Stadium on national TV and I want to fight the toughest guys in the league, then I want my first goal to be a game winning goal, then I want to play in the first game of the playoffs and while all the fans at MSG chant my name, I want to score the first goal of the game and have everyone lose their shit and then me and the guys on my line get all 3 stars of the game."
I mean, WTF!!! What's next?
Big start to the series! Let's go!
Who else just fast forward to the Rempe goal?
Loved how we played this game, a full 60 minutes and no question whether we were going to win this game or not. Rempe really does have such a positive impact on this team, this game proved it. The officiating was very questionable but we already knew to expect that. We proved we can win regardless, now we just have to play the rest of the series this way.
Who would have thought the first goal of the New York Rangers 2024 postseason would be scored by Matt Rempe? Love this team. It's ours to win this year. Let's gooooo
I am so happy The rangers won 4 -1
Ho visto la partita su Sky Italia. Grandi W NYR.
I was at the game. Officiating was so blatantly lopsided this whole game. So much interference.
