However, you'll probably never see it again. Now there's a rule that if they cross the center red line to fight, they're automatically ejected, and pity the goalie who gets himself thrown out of a game when he has to skate back to the bench where his coach is waiting to discuss it.But there've been some good ones, especially in the days before Ron Hextall retired and "Sugar Ray" Emery drowned. Emery was a hothead, and he could really take care of himself. He once got not just one, but two 5-minute fighting majors for the same fight (he fought two different guys; first knocked out the enemy goalie, and then when a skater attacked him to retaliate for kicking their goalie's ***, Emery fought him too.) Some goalies really like to fight, but they don't usually get into it. There are some unwritten rules. They're so heavily armored, it's not really fair for them to start a fight with a skater, but if their teammate is getting mauled they'll usually go. [MEDIA=youtube]4hSoH5cY6vg[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
