I love me a good line brawl and goalie fight. Should Emery have jumped Holtby like that, no, but Holtby was a bit of a dumb ass by not readying himself a bit more. Emery has a reputation for this kinda thing, so if I see him coming at me, I'd prepare myself a bit more.
I personally think most of the blame should go on the ref for not jumping in. He see's Holtby is defenseless and getting pounded, he should have been right in there.
