Rempe has certainly become a villain for Devils fans. But some fans have taken things to far. They have reportedly been harassing Rempe and his family online.
Fans went so far as to call for a career-ending injury to happen to him and make fun of his deceased father.
Obviously, this kind of behavior is unacceptable. That being said, Rempe's suspension might teach him a lesson. Hopefully he doesn't make these kinds of hits a regular part of his game.
