Flyers Are the Worst Team in Sports

To me, what Emery did is classified as Assault. He beat the **** out of a guy who said he didn't want to fight. Emery's exact words after the game were " he said he didn't want to fight, and I basically said, protect yourself". I am all for fighting in the NHL, but only if its between two players who consent it. Emery beat the **** out of Holtby, and should be charged with Assault. And the worst part is, he won't get in trouble, but if Holtby's teammates wouldve hopped off the bench to help, they would have gotten 10 games. **** the Flyers.
Gary Bettman needs called out on this as well. He has the option to suspend at his disgression. Read the Dejean article for a good opinion on the whole thing http://triblive.com/sports/dejankova...#axzz2jVJioGgz
