NEW YORK -- New York Rangers rookie forward Matt Rempe said that "shock" was the first emotion he felt after scoring the opening goal of their playoff series against the Washington Capitals on Sunday.
"I was like, 'oh my gosh.' It didn't really kick in, and then you hear the crowd. It was a dream come true. It was unreal," he said, after the Rangers' 4-1 victory to take a 1-0 lead in the first-round playoff series.
Rempe's goal at 4:17 of the second period sparked the Rangers' offense, as they built a 3-0 lead in a 2:06 span after he scored.
