Devils Daily: Rempe Comments on Brawl; Fedotov, Flyers Nearing Extension

The New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers were the talk of the NHL on Thursday following their WWE-like showing Wednesday night.

The Rangers didn’t make any of their players available involved in the fight Wednesday night following the game. However, Matt Rempe offered his first comments yesterday morning. More on that in the links.

Also in the links, Travis Green wasn’t thrilled with Peter Laviolette, and the Devils snagged a Hobey Baker nominee.

Elsewhere, San Jose snags the top NCAA free agent, Florida loses their top defenseman for the season, and is Philly’s gargantuan goalie on the verge of a gargantuan contract?
