I don't think Emery would have wanted anybody to come to his defense...he wanted to show that he can hold his own. He's a pretty tough goalie :rambo:
From the dawn of hockey, the goalie (especially your no. 1 goalie) is usually supposed to be protected at all costs.. no matter how tough he is.
Goalies squaring off against each other is one thing, but when a known enforcer steps in after the goalies' fight is over you'd think someone would have done something. Billy Smith, Ron Hextall et. al would never have had to fight twice in a row like that. Would have been interesting if Emery broke his hand or got knocked out.
