Former Ottawa Senators Goalie Ray Emery Flips Out in Russian Game

Ray Emery gained quite a reputation in the NHL for having a gigantic chip on his shoulder. He was routinely at the center of controversy in Ottawa for fighting opponents, teammates, coaches, motorists and, well, pretty much everybody. He's currently playing in Russia with Atlant Mytishchi of the KHL, and was recently involved in an incident on the team's bench.

We're still working on gathering the details as to what actually happened, but it would appear based on video that Emery wants absolutely nothing to do with the hat being forced upon him.

A brief staring contest breaks out, before the trainer gets a mouthful of Emery's goalie glove. After being restrained -- very briefly -- Emery goes back for more in the tunnel.

Emery played three seasons with the Senators, posting a 71-40 record along with a 2.71 goals against average and a .907 save percentage.

UPDATE: Eric McErlain checked in with Dmitry Chesnokov of Sovetsky Sport who passed along the following information:

According to reports, Emery attacked his own team's physical therapist, after the therapist asked him to put on a baseball cap to protect his head, which was hot and sweaty. Emery was pulled after letting in three goals in the first period of Atlant's defeat at Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.

You'll only have yourself to blame, Ray, when you catch that cold.
