As the first week of June draws to a close, it seems Matt Rempe is the topic of other circles�you probably can't guess which ones�after making an impression with the New York Rangers earlier in the season. He has been the buzz of Broadway thanks to his huge smashes and desire to drop the gloves.
College-aged women have reportedly been trolling the soon-to-be twenty-two-year-old Rempe. Even though he's clearly seen the content, he's taken the high road by not responding, even if he's tried his best to handle the attention. All of this could be great fun.
It can be intimidating for anyone to be forced into the spotlight, particularly in a market like New York. Rempe has performed admirably, putting his head down and carrying out the tasks that the Rangers required of him.
On one hand, this behaviour full on feels like stalking, and you'd have to think that this woman needs some help, but maybe she's the type of person that feeds off attention?
Professional athletes have always had fans, and to be honest, some have over the line. However, in the social media age, it has reached an unprecedented degree; how can this be curbed or monitored? It can't and won't, to give the quick response. However, Rempe's ability to handle things in this manner demonstrates that he is considerably more mature than anyone has possibly acknowledged up until this point.
