Ray Emery vs Martin Biron

Objectional viewpoint...

I'm neither a sens or sabres fan.

someone else mentioned the code, as will i. if you take a cheap shot on any player, expect to see something go down. if you take a cheap shot on a star player, then **** is definitely going down in a big way. listen to ruff's explanation from what you can hear - "that hit was bull****" and he's absolutely right. don't try to say that drury should have been paying attention. first, neil came from sort of behind - basically hte blind spot. secondly, watch his arms - he was head hunting. i could go more into detail about how it was a cheap shot, but i wont.

so the fact that ruff sent out his goons to whack spezza & heatley, is okay in my book. star for star (especially because the sens' coach should have known that buffallo was gonna fight right away and should have sent his own goons out so itd be fighters v. fighters as it states in the code - good book by the way. but i digress). however, also note that heatley was asking for it anyway as can be seen how he starts the shoving match at the face-off circle

moving on to the goalies, and i don't think there was much question here. t here was no need for them to fight, but it was a fair fight in that it was goalie v. goalie. not a fair fight when it comes to fighting skill.

however, while the code says a fighter should protect his team's stars by tossing the gloves and it pushes it further to protect even more your goalie...but if youre goalie gets tko'd by the other goalie, it is my firm opinion that that is NOT your place. protect your goalie but not by punchign the other goalies. not cool. i expect to see peters among any other sabre to be be chased after and probably get absolutely crushed.

but as for ruff - i don't hate his guts. he did what he should have done. and if he gets suspended for one game, or even 3 games, it is still correct. (though i dont believe he told any player to go fight emery). the sen's coach is more of an idiot and a-hole for his reaction. he should have expected it and he should have put his own enforcers out there. even listen to ruff as he yells back at Murray: "Go after Peters! Go after Peters! Don't go after our ****** Captain!"

The next game between these two teams should be interesting/fun to watch.

Ruff is an a-hole, Peters broke every rule of the Code. 1. He went after a keeper. 2. The Keeper ahd already been in a scrap. 3. He is a dirty goon that should be thrown out of the game, with Brashear, goddard, Mcgraton and the rest of them.

I think Buffalo is a great team, I love watching them play. After this, I only hope for the worst.

I can''t stand Ottawa, but I will take emery in a heartbeat!

I like how Ray Emery is laughing while going at it. He's a goalie. Still, Andrew Peters is a little punk for going after the goalie. WTF? Are you Sean Avery? I mean...taken on the enforcer, not the goalie. Your goalie got stomped. BFD. You didn't see Colorado's enforcer go after Chris Osgood or Mike Vernon when they threw down with Patrick Roy, did you? Wuss!

now thats hockey

To all the sens fans crying about Peters whooping on emery, watch Mair go after spezza, two other sens jump in after Mair.

Two way street, you cant whine about Peters and pretend your guys didn't do the exact same.

I can understand that you are all bitter about Mair + Peters whooping your whole team, but come on, far is far.

mcgratton is gunna get murdered by peters again dumbass hes gunna break his nose this time

peters was just pissed about the cheap shot and ottawa if peters had cheapshotted alfredson u would do the same

its the code

I loved this whole skirmish. Ruff is my favorite coach, and there's no doubt why. Glad Peters went after Emery afterwards, Emery was always a punk when he was in Binghamton. So many times I wanted to see McMorrow light him up but refs always held him back. As a side note, those who don't know about Kaleta, he's phsycal like Ovechkin, just doesn't have anywhere close to his offensive talent.

this was so unnecessary. like i know biron was probably pissed like the rest of the sabres but he shoulda just let mair n peters do what they do best. that being said, emerys a mess. not only does he got some issues he's pretty bad at hockey. anybody remember the playoffs last year?

The puss senator fans who think peters is wrong--its all about payback chumps.
Neil-a goon- lays out the leading scorer with a cheap shot--then expect the same right back.
I love a coach who will say--fighter vs fighter is ok. BUt you guys crossed th eline and we wont just sit back and watch.
when mair goes after spezza and peters after heatley---hey--thats what the senators thought was ok 3 minutes earlier.

Too bad it works both ways...your guys got their asses kicked.
