And now, for some hockey stats:

5:13 Ray Emery: 5 Minutes for Fighting
5:13 Ray Emery: 5 Minutes for Fighting
5:13 Ray Emery: 2 Minutes for Goalie Leaving the Crease
5:13 Ray Emery: 10-Minute Game Misconduct
5:13 Andrew Peters: 2 Minutes for Roughing
5:13 Andrew Peters: 2-Minute Bench Penalty for Instigating
5:13 Andrew Peters: 5 Minutes for Fighting
5:13 Andrew Peters: 10-Minute Game Misconduct
5:13 Adam Mair: 2-Minute Bench Penalty for Instigating
5:13 Adam Mair: 5 Minutes for Fighting
5:13 Adam Mair: 10 Minutes for Misconduct
5:13 Martin Biron: 2 Minutes for Goalie Leaving the Crease
5:13 Martin Biron: 5 Minutes for Fighting
5:13 Martin Biron: 10-Minute Game Misconduct
5:13 Chris Phillips: 10 Minutes for Misconduct

One of the most entertaining boxscores I’ve read in awhile. That’s 100 minutes of penalties doled out in six seconds of game time (which took about 20 minutes in real life).

I also love the fact Emery received a minor for leaving his crease to go along with his game misconduct and two fighting majors, the equivalent to getting a speeding ticket to go along with a charge of vehicular homicide. Which means not only did he get into a goalie fight (one of the most entertaining things in all of sports), but he got in a fight with a regular player. How does a goalie get that angry?
