I don't know what's worse... The hit, or the fans cheering after that garbage. He goes after the star players... I hope they give him what he deserves.
What an awesome line brawl in the Caps/Flyers game. Ray Emery beat the **** out of Holtby. I think the Flyers won every single fight. I'd definitely go back and watch that fight.
Emery is a pathetic classless clown and deserves the suspension he's about to get. If you actually enjoyed watching that, it's just pathetic. The Flyers deserve to stay in the bottom after that garbage.
Yea I did enjoy watching a fight in hockey? That's one of the exciting things about the sport. I was talking more about all of the fights happening at once rather than just the Emery/Holtby fight. The refs definitely should've stopped the goalie fight before it began but they didn't. So it's pathetic for someone to like watching hockey fights now? ... oh you're talking about just the Emery fight...right. Well it's still a fight and I will enjoy watching a hockey fight no matter how one-sided it is. Yea, I can see a suspension coming for Emery for that.
Nothing wrong with the player fights. What Emery did was classless. Holtby clearly declined his invitation to fight, and then continued to assault him. I was blown away that the Ref just stood there.
If Holtby accepted the invitation, and got pounded, whatever. But he did not want to fight. That wasn't a hockey fight, that was an assault.
I was shocked the refs didn't stop it considering he was between both of them before it started and Emery lunged past the ref to get to Holtby and then Emery just kept punching and punching and punching while the ref, I don't know what he was doing honestly.
I saw the highlights of the Capitals at Flyers game on the NHL Network and that was just pathetic, in my humble opinion!
And apparently there's no disciplinary hearing scheduled as of yet for anyone.

For what? It's not the first time a guy started fighting with someone else who didn't want to drop the gloves and it surely won't be the last.
Emery got 2, 5, 10 and game misconduct, lost 7-0, and is stuck playing for the Flyers for the rest of the year. I'd say that's punishment enough.
I hate the Flyers as much as anyone but the Capitals should do a better job of standing up for their goalie.
When I heard of the line brawl and the goalies fighting I thought the goalie fight would've been a fair a bout, far as in Holtby actually accepted the invitation or initiated it. I like Emery, but after seeing that, I'm disgusted. You can clearly see Holtby didn't want any part of it and he literally did get assaulted....
Fight a guy who is willing to fight. I understand emotions were running high but to leave your end of the ice and fight a guy who clearly didn't want to deserves at least a 3-4 game suspension.

Best part was that was within a span of what - 15 seconds? Poor Perry.
Re: Old Emery story - dude is a total jag off, but what else would you expect from the Flyers? Equally disgusting is that terrible team is six points out of a playoff spot due to being in the worst division in the league.

Pretty funny the fan put the bucket on and thought he could keep it as a souvenir haha.

I actually found that really funny. I wonder how drunk I'd have to be in order to even think about doing something like that...
What a great ceremony for Mike Modano's number retiring! That guy put up some ridiculous numbers in his prime!
Looking a lot less likely for the Devils after the loss to the Bruins. Too bad as Jagr is having a great year.
Big game for the blue and whites tonight! If Toronto has any hope of finishing ahead of Tampa in the division they'll need to win tonight.
The Blackhawks don't look the same without Patrick Kane. 
And Dallas only has one actual scoring line.
