josie Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 How ridiculous is that? @ChuckGormleyCSN #CapitalsTalk Ray Emery named third star of game. Seriously As decided by his numerous uncontested shots on goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I cannot believe no one tried to stop Emery. He absolutely dominated Holtby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Caps up 6-0 on the Flyers in the 2nd without Ovechkin. Things are gonna be even uglier in Philly! At least in Philly they'll have the good sense to fire their GM for leading the team into the toilet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabre snipe Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 The real question here is whether or not the flyers coach will get fined for "player selection" by leaving emery on the ice to play goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koomkie Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Emery should be suspended for going after Holtby. not sure if you are joking. but i actually agree. it was pretty messed up. jumped him. not sure if a suspension is the way to go, but it was a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Funny how Emery always seems to go with guys that aren't really known as fighters. This was his first fight since Biron. Emery learned his lesson. Last time his team got jumped, he had Biron at his mercy and he wouldn't hit him. I mean, he literally could have teabagged Biron in front of 18,000 people. His reward for it was having goonball Peters jump him after Emery had already gone a round in his equipment. That being said...no excuse to hit a guy in the back of the head when he is shying away. He should have just gotten revenge and teabagged Holtby this time. Then he could have argued he didn't want to risk giving him a concussion. By the way, Holtby laughed it off at the end. I think he was just scared that a madman was after him more than not wanting to fight itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie fights really shouldn't happen unless both goalies want to go. That's sorta the rule. Ray doesn't give a ######. He'll fight any goalie he knows he can beat. It's cheap and should be punished.

(I actually think there is a statistic out there that shows October as being one of the higher violence months). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Philadelphia Flyers forward Steve Downie was taken to a hospital with a concussion sustained during a 7-0 loss to the Washington Capitals on Friday. Downie, playing his first game for the Flyers after being acquired from the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday, was injured during a fight with Aaron Volpatti late in the second period. He received a minor for instigating, a fighting major and a misconduct. General manager Paul Holmgren said Downie was taken to University of Pennsylvania hospital for tests and observation. Center Vincent Lecavalier sustained facial injuries and may have lost some teeth during a third-period fight with Steve Oleksy. Holmgren said neither player will take part in the Flyers' road game against the New Jersey Devilson Saturday. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=689568&navid=nhl:topheads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Anyone notice simmons drive through that player to start the whole Bruhaha ? If there's something happening between the flyers /Sabres a la Miller I hope that simmons ( spelling ? ) kid is coming back this way as a part of the deal. Wishful thinking ?

deluca67 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I cannot believe no one tried to stop Emery. He absolutely dominated Holtby. The referee was warning players away. I was watching the game as it happened, it was very uncomfortable to watch. Simmonds is a thug. He'd be Shanahan's next scapegoat for sure. Simmonds dd nothing wrong. He knocked a player down with a clean hit and started a scrap with another player. The Flyers were lifeless and he was trying to inject some emotion. It was when Emery decided to get involved that things got out of hand. If there is secondary discipline it should fall heavily on Emery.

IKnowPhysics Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Emery's a puss. He didn't wait for Holtby to lose his gloves, which made Holtby defenseless, and Emery just started firing away. Keep in mind that if you fight with goalie gloves on, there's a bunch more penalties, and possibly suspensions, that rack up. Every goalie knows that.

But he's just as risky as Kaleta when it comes to walking the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with playing on the edge. Players like Kaleta and Simmonds have to go about things a little smarter. They are of no use to their teams in the penalty box or the press box. They have established reputations in the NHL, sometimes that is all you need. Kaleta plays as if he is still trying to establish himself. He should take a close look at Ott. Ott picks his spots. Teams are already looking over their shoulders and are aware when Ott is on the ice. Ott doesn't have to proves anything to anyone at this point.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) :clapping: :lol: @Proteautype Remember, turn your clock back an hour tonight. If you're the Philadelphia Flyers, just leave your clock set to 1973 where it's always been. @DStrehleTFP Downie to be released from hospital tomorrow, out indefinitely w/concussion; Lecavalier day-to-day with facial contusion per Paul Holmgren.

Again, the point was that Simmonds would be Kaleta 2.0 here, if one buys into my belief that the league really loves sticking it to the Sabres.
