Yeah I remember watching that. Definitely didn’t need to do that BUT I still think the tribute was cool and Flyer fans don’t really care who you beat up as long as you beat someone up.
And why did Holtby start skating towards the action? He should have stayed in his crease.
Because it was a line brawl, and why would any teammate stay in the corner while every single one of their on-ice teammates was in a fight? Holtby was obviously not a willing participant - just wanted to be there in case a teammate needed help or something. Emery made a punk move.

Oh he just wanted to be there for something? Stay in the crease, have some water and watch. You leave the crease you are opening yourself up.
And honestly where were the Caps to get in the way? That is who I would have a problem with. Not coming to his defense. Anyway Emery was a Flyer for a hot minute and he stunk. Never was a fan. Also yeah Emery should have just laughed at him. I just know if i was Holtby I am staying in the crease and not even thinking about leaving the crease. You cannot be an unwilling participant AND be there to help in a fight.
Holtby also threw the first punch. Maybe he was just going down to hold him in check and make sure he wasn’t getting involved.

Emery lunges at Holtby after traveling all the way across the ice and you're putting this on Holtby? Insane.
Staying in the crease doesn't guarantee you immunity either. Emery went looking for a fight and he took it.
And finally - it was a line brawl. Everybody was fighting, hence why nobody came to protect Holtby.

There were several Caps that were not fighting a few were actually watching him get pummeled and no Emery was jawing at him as he skated around the ref between them. Holtby throws a punch. Emery was not lunging at him. Anyway like I said im not a fan of either guy. Holtby because he owned us. Emery because he stunk. I guess this is what happens in post game threads when we get beat down. Lol

Ok Ill take the L on defending Emery. I am doing it because I detest the Caps not because I like Emery. There is a small window of defense for what he did but ill take the L. As far as his teammates not defending him they absolutely could have.

Ok truce. I hated Emery as a player but now that he's dead I have no ill will for him. And yes I agree Holtby's teammates should've stepped in. Holtby is a lover not a fighter.

If you gotta grow a zen garden to be an all time Caps great so be it.
