With Emery gone to Europe, he may just become a star again, but for all the wrong reasons.

Ray Emery may just become the story of the Russian Continental Hockey League by showing up late and too much "sleeping".

He may not have a good year there.

Even though the team that he signed with said that he would be the No.1 goalie, I don't think that he will be.

By the time we reach the All-Star break, he will even be making the American Sports Center for all the wrong reasons.

Ray Emery needs to get hockey strait, because right now, he is a celebrity, not a hockey player, and nobody likes a player that is nothing, but a “celeb.”

It ruins the game, which means that guys like Jason Spezza, Ray Emery, and especially Sidney Crosby, are ruining the game.

Honestly, it will be great for the NHL to get Emery out of the league; it will do great to the Senators and Martin Gerber, who is now the No. 1 goalie in the nations capital.

Thanks for leaving Emery; you won't be missed.

Will Emery gain a fan in Europe?

  1. Emery's the man.
    He'll play great in Russia while sorting things out with his life. Next summer he'll come back to the NHL and be better than ever.

    The only thing that concerns me is the rumors of him having a drug problem. While I don't think he currently is an addict, it is possible that he struggled with drugs at some point. Hopefully not, but some sort of substance problem would explain his actions last fall/winter.

  2. Agreed.
    I believe he just finished rehab which was the big thing he was talking about when he said he had taken steps to turn the corner.

  3. um did i understand you right when you said sidney crosby and jason spezza are ruining the game??????

  4. Sidney Crosby and Jason Spezza ruining the game??? Really? Huh. Last I heard b/c of Sidney Crosby, the ratings in the US for the Stanley Cup Finals were the highest they've been in years. And Jason Spezza is far from a "celeb". Outside of Canada, if you mention the name Jason Spezza to a not-that-much-into hockey person, they cock their head to the side like a confused dog. So I don't call him a "celeb", and he def. isn't ruining the game.

  5. first of all, jason spezza and sid are all awesome players, and i don't get you by "ruining the game", what does that mean? they are two of the best players in the league.
    the other thing is about razor, he is an amazing athlete, and i believe he would have a great season at russia, and return to NHL, and get his games back, might take a shot at the cup too, he's not as bad as everyone think, it's like the whole club's mistakes is blamed to him.
