GOOD LUCK WITH THAT GUY, WE HAD HIM HERE IN STOCKTON,,, NOT IMPRESSED one bit... Maybe he just didn't want to be the in E or maybe he is overrated,, but he just grabbed on and tossed his opponent to the ice,,, no fighting,, just a bunch of rag dolling.... BORING.

that's exactly why im not jumping for joy over this move...emmerson sucks and doesn't belong in the ahl. sadly the wolves signed him, hopefully he ends up in kzoo for the majority of the year.
