Every player on the ice has been beat by lopsided scores before. That shouldn't be used as a justification for jumping a guy who told him he didn't want to go. That's not showing fire, it's just being a bully.

Agreed.

I've been barely able to walk for a week because a soccer team who we destroyed decided to just start swinging limbs, resulting in me getting kicked right in the ankle and another guy getting a fractured leg.

If people can't take losing, they shouldn't do poop where they can lose.

Exactly. Emery will get suspended and rightfully so, but the thing shouldnt overshadow the loss.

By all accounts, they played like poop. He showed the most fire, and gets the blame. In terms of a pure hockey viewpoints he should, but looking at it from the Flyers perspective he had more balls than the whole team, who poop on their own goaltenders all night long.

- flyer_nutter

Its almost ironic, that for years we've been begging for goaltending, and now that it seems like we have a solid starter in mase they can't score to save their lives.

I'm not condoning it by any means, but maybe that's what emery was trying to do? Inject a bit of life and energy into this team. I mean your backup goalie is ready to fight for the rest of the team... But I didn't see that kind of fire from anyone else. Obviously it would have been more acceptable had Holtby been willing to go as well... But as far as I could see on tv, it looked like holtby skated down to emery, but I could definitely be wrong on that...

I lay more blame on the refs feet in this case. He had at least 4 opportunities to end the fight, and didn't.

- fecondo


Emery went after Holtby...Holtby made it pretty clear he didn't want to fight. You've got to respect that. And Holtby had nothing to do with the 7 goals the Caps scored and any feelings of "running it up" the Flyers may have had in the 3rd.

You are....

Emery is, and always had been, a piece of poop

Ah well my mistake then. I've been at work all night and only caught the game in pieces

I may be in the minority, but I think Emery should get suspended for what he did to Holtby. For those who disagree, ask yourself how you'd feel about a backup goalie doing to Mason what Emery did to Holtby.
- wolfhounds

I doubt you're in the minority at all. Almost all Flyer fans, from comments I've read, think that Emery deserves a few games. Including me.

That was more of a mugging than a hockey fight.

I did not see the game, but the highlights don't reflect we'll on him, and his post game comments make it look even worse.
- Emperor Filonius


I haven't heard his post game comments...and I'm guessing I don't want to.

To be honest I only caught he highlights.

The one's we got seem to villify Emery however.

As someone said earlier in the thread, the punching in the back of the head was the worst part. Just completely unnecessary.

If anything, emery might have been pissed about having his mask knocked off on the last goal. Other than that... It was weak on his part. You just don't do that.

The biggest joke of the night is that's whoever voted for the 3 stars gave Emery the 3rd star of the game. Apparently for beating down a guy who didn't want to fight him. It sure wasn't for keeping the puck out of the net. Shaking my head.

Haha, no offense or anything but if you are so concerned with the actions of two teams that you apparently are not a fan of, maybe you need to get laid or something.

I didn't care for Emery's actions, but the brawl is really nothing earth shattering. Its happened before & will again.

I'm far more concerned about the the fact thay they got their asses handed to them on home ice and by and large the result was the team quitting.

Come on guys....seriously.

Quit trolling, to those that are trolling.

We're quite capable of rolling in our own poop. We've been doing it since the first week of October. We don't need trolls to supply us with more poop. We're quite content.

Well he deserved it. I did see the fight between emery and holtby, and seriously, the refs never should have let that happened. He was there in between them, and then let them go
