Ray Emery’s Eurotrip just got violent.

Since packin’ up and moving to Russia to play in the Continental Hockey League, Emery has pretty much stayed out of the headlines…but thanks mainly to YouTube, he’s back!

The former Ottawa Senators and current Atlant Mytishchi netminder was involved in a little altercation with a team trainer the other day – over a hat.

There’s a video circulating that shows a team staffer trying and trying to get Ray Emery to put a hat on as he stands on the bench after being pulled. That guy then takes a face full of goalie mitt.

There’s a long stare-down that follows (Emery described it as the guy giving him a “tough guy stare”) and then Sugar Ray starts throwin! He stuns him with a left and then backs him down the hallway before he’s restrained.READ MORE...

He even went back down the hall for some more!

Emery was yanked after being lit up for three first period goals in a 5-3 loss to Lokomotiv Yaroslav, and I swear it almost looks like the trainer is trying to pick a fight. Know your role buddy!

Mr. Emery is a love-him-or-hate-him kind of guy who got a lot of bad press last year, but I have to say I’m a fan. I was sold when I saw him fighting Buffalo’s Andrew Peters (6’4, 247lbs) with a big smile on his face.

He’ll be back in the NHL soon, he’s one of the top five goalies in the KHL right now with a 20-6-0 record. And it’s good to see he can still fight!
