Namingway 146 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Huh, I wasn't aware that Jimmy actually had a fight back in his GR days. As much as I love goalie fights, I think situations like the recent Emery and Holtby incident deserves an extra look. What do you guys think, LGW? per Mlive Edited November 12, 2013 by Namingway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Euro_Twins 4,474 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 It should be treated like a regular fight, if both parties are willing participants and it is a good clean fight, 5 minute major, and it's over. If it is like what emery or others have done, it should be an automatic suspension, minumum 5 games. Holtby did nothing to deserve what he got, and emery is a thug who has no real hockey skills 8 MCleveland89, 55fan, Ally and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 I love fights, especially goalie fights. One-sided beat-downs aren't good fights. Have a penalty for that, not specifically goalie fights. Goalies are people too. 2 Hockeymom1960 and wings87 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) I love fighting but thugs don't have a place on hockey, no doubt whatsoever that Emery has to pay for that soon. I'd say treat it as an assault with 10 games plus. Goaliefights are nice if both are willing otherwise screw it. Holtby should have pulled a Kessel and absolutely smashed this idiot with his stick. Can't wait till the TorontoMapleLeafs and Bruins are coming to Philly, MacLaren running through the net and smashing him into the boards would be fun to watch.

cnot19 191 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 I love goalie fights, don't add any rules for them. Maybe treat them as players or maybe treat each goalie fight on its own and perhaps suspend accordingly 2 Hockeymom1960 and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 Jimmy needs to get into a fight. The modern day Wings haven't won a Cup without a goalie who has a fight on his record. Specifically he needs to start something with Roy the next time they see Colorado. If Roy and a wings goalie get into it then consider the Cup ours. 2 derblaueClaus and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RusDRW 155 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 Jimmy does not have the ballls.... I like Gustafsson comments though. You have to defend youself because otherwise it could turn ugly for you. Holtby was EXTREMELY lucky considering what kind of punches he absorbed. Usually after beatings like this you end up in a hospital with some serious injuries.

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted November 12, 2013 It couldn't hurt for the league to adopt a Ray Emery rule, but it should be about getting suspended for skating the length of the rink to fight and continue beating on an unwilling opponent, not anything about goalies fighting specifically. 2 55fan and frankgrimes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
