Nic Deslauriers and Matt Rempe exchange face punches in fight of the year

Philadelphia Flyers hockey is back, baby.

The Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers added another chapter to their storied rivalry on Saturday afternoon. It’s just the second meeting between the two teams this season after the Blueshirts invaded The Farg for a 3-1 win back on Black Friday.

Garnet Hathaway dropped the gloves not once but twice in that one, and likely would’ve fought a third time if that didn’t mean an automatic ejection.

On Saturday afternoon, it was Nicolas Deslauriers’ turn to make his mark on the Flyers-Rangers rivalry. He dropped the gloves with Rangers rookie forward Matt Rempe in one of the best fights you’ll see in a long time.
