*-> Ray Emery formerly of the Ottawa Senators and now playing for Atlant Mystichi of the KHL was involved in yet another altercation yesterday afternoon. Emery after being pulled in a 5-1 loss refused to wear a team hat which is team policy for goaltenders on the bench. After refusing to wear the hat which one of the trainers provided for him he stared down the trainer until he returned with the hat again. This time Ray Emery decided to swing his blocker at the trainer. The trainer then backed off and another trainer ran to break up the altercation. Emery refused to let it go and took another swipe at the trainer before knocking him down and sending him into the tunnel that leads to the locker rooms. Ray Emery's agent J.P Barry claims that it was just Ray being fiery and upset that he had a bad game, and that Ray only pushed the trainer. the fottage was caught on video by a fan. The team has yet to comment.
