We had a historic start to the game between the Rangers and the Devils, involving Kurtis MacDermid and Matt Rempe in particular.
It must be said that this was the first time the New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils faced each other since Matt Rempe's vicious hit on Jonas Siegenthaler. (an action that resulted in a four-game suspension for Rempe)
In the end, tonight, it wasn't just Matt Rempe who dropped the gloves in the first few seconds of the game. Literally all the players on the ice dropped their gloves. (the 10 skaters)
All the players who started the game on the ice were expelled from the match, with the exception of Curtis Lazar and Jimmy Vesey.
