Not too many times you hear the announcer say that the goon better watch out for a goalie! 
 
Seriously, I think if Emry would have been wearing normal equipment and not goalie equipment he would have tuned Peters. 
 
I love Buffalo, they are my 2nd favourite team, and I think Peters is one fo the most entertaining tough guys in the league (remember his golf pose at the end of the year last year Leaf fans?? :D). All that said, Emry is probably one of my favourite up and coming players in the league. He is very flambouyant but he doesn't cross the line. The fact that he is an amazing boxer really had me cheering for Emry (whihch I was very surprised at after that I was cheering for him over Peters) as I wanted to see what he was capable of rather than fighting a 160 lbs goalie in Biron. I was surprised Biron agreed to drop the gloves. He had to know he was going to get destroyed. The whole event has stirred quite a few discussions in the office today! The main discussion is this is why the instigator rule needs to be dropped. If there is no instigator rule, Peters would have been sent over the boards before the whistle was even blown, he and Neil would have gone at it and the issue would have been over. Instead, Ruff has no choice but to send a message that if you are going to go after our captain, we will go after your star players and the ridiculous ensues (not that I don't mind a brawl, but the only reason there was a brawl was because of the instigator rule.)
