Ray Emery: "I basically told him to protect himself. I gave him a chance to protect himself."

Guy admits that he Holtby didn't want to fight.

Referee and Emery deserve to be suspended.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Emery getting 3rd star is insulting to the entire star rating system, and is an embarrassment to the league.

Meh, the star system was already a meaningless joke.

 

[butters8814*]

Next time the caps play this pathetic garbage team, they need to knock emery's a@@ out. That was a joke that no one protected holtby.

#CapitalsTalk Emery on disciplinary action: 'I'm not sure. There's a penalty for fighting in hockey. I gave him a chance to protect himself'

What a *******.

 

[Liberati0n*]

yay for trollz. love the ignore the feature.

This has to be the worst post in hfboards history. You really didn't get the reference?

 

[RandyHolt]

Meh, the star system was already a meaningless joke.

While I dont disagree, I cannot recall anything along this level. The only thing worse is naming him first star.

Thankfully at least Latta went over and forced the officials hand.

 

[Liberati0n*]

I don't know how anyone could complain about Emery getting the 3rd star. That's hilarious and awesome. Be mad Holtby doesn't know how to fight; if he'd done that to Emery I would be beyond ecstatic.

You're joking right. He was spun around and never had his base. He also never had his gear off and was fighting with it the entire time.

 

[msrulo]

Missed the game... What a ride. Maybe if we can do this against better teams.

 

[Liberati0n*]

You're joking right. He was spun around and never had his base. He also never had his gear off and was fighting with it the entire time.

So what?

 

[Brian23]

So what?

So what? I just explained why Holtby didn't fight back. Let alone the fact what Emery was doing wouldn't even be allowed in an MMA fight, and you're all for it?

Sheesh. You're one hell of a troll.

 

[ReggietheSavage15]

@DNFlyers Flyers are escorting me out of the building as I am trying to figure out which player they are taking to the hospital on a stretcher.

I wonder if it's Lecavalier?

 

[Capitlols]

Oleksy destroyed Vinny, hillarious. Downie quit versus Volpatti, and Urbom looked surprisingly decent as well.

 

[Ralonzo]

Is this a joke? Did you see the replay? emery jumped him and he did everything he could to protect himself.

Gonzo, there's probably some context missing... I should have said "Why would Emery even challenge a guy who has a shutout going, no way is he going to get accept a challenge at that point".

Which of course is why Emery had to go Central Park on him.

I wonder if it's Lecavalier?

If it is, then perhaps... to quote from Excalibur, "It is the old wound, it has never healed" (0:58)

Sheesh. You're one hell of a troll.

I'm not trolling. I'll have to watch the video...yeah, obviously Holtby should be allowed to get his glove off or whatever, but I don't see what the big deal is. I would love to see Holtby do that to Emery.

 

[Wizeman*]

Emery was bashing Holtby on the back of the head when he was down and that in my opinion is ridiculous.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

**** that franchise and **** that city. A bunch of goons in every sport. Normally never like to hear about injuries but when I read that tweet regarding Downie and Lecavapuss my thoughts were, "Good. **** them. Serves them right."

 

[nyrpassion]

That was ****ing disgusting, **** Emery. Cannot fathom how he got the 3rd star. Stay classy Philly.

 

[InfernalDark*]

0-7? Is this a ****ing joke? Just came from the bar, had to ring to my Philly friend, ahahahahaha priceless.

 

[Chokingdogs]

downie was the one stretchered out, seems he was fedoruk'd

 

[sunnydaycrash]

Volpatti & Oleksy did some damage:

@DNFlyers: Holmgren says Downie has a concussion from fight. Lecavalier has a facial injury and will miss time.

Caps win 7-0 , lose no players to injury due to Flyers stupidity and injure 2 of their players in fair fights?.......'twas a fine night of hockey if you ask me

Pretty vicious left, esp. based on where it landed.

Hitting the back of the head is a DQ in combat sports, it's very dangerous to get hit there, and yet the ref just watched as Emery pounded Hotlby in the back of the head again and again.

That ref needs some time off to be better educated about player safety.

I like a good hockey fight, but picking a fight with a guy that clearly doesn't want to fight is a ***** move. I hope the next time Emery charges at another goalie he takes a two handed swing to the teeth.

Jones called Patti a heavyweight....what a putz,

 

[msrulo]

Emery should probably get a worse fine than Varlamov for that kidnapping.
