Flames Daily Roundup: Calgary-Born Bruiser Once Again in Trouble

Following the NHL on any given morning, afternoon, or evening can be an arduous process. Look at one site, check another; that can take a lot out of your day. The Flames Daily Roundup finds the Flames news you may have missed and sprinkles in some drama from around the League.   

For example, The Devils-Rangers rivalry took another step forward on Monday night when Calgary kid Matt Rempe once again found himself a league lightning rod for controversy after throwing a brutal elbow to the head of Devils defenceman Jonas Seigenthaler. Devils enforcer Kurtis MacDermid called out the 6-foot-8 bruiser after the game for not dropping the gloves prior to the hit.
