from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
The Senators goaltender instituted a new policy today of not speaking with his good friends in the media on game day as he prepares to start tonight against the Washington Capitals at Scotiabank Place.
Emery, making only his third start of the season, has to win tonight if he is going to have any chance of wresting the No. 1 job from goalie Martin Gerber, who has emerged as the club’s clear-cut top man in the net so far this season.
“I don’t care what (Emery’s) like to you guys (in the media),” said coach John Paddock this morning at the Senators’ game-day skate. “The people he’s responsible to are his teammates and the organization. You have a certain standard you have to live up to, but who says that has to be happy all the time ... It’s good to be surly.”

I always get a kick out of these types of stories. Why is it news that Emery won’t talk to the press? Really, who other than the beat journalist in Ottawa actually cares?
It’s just too easy to tick off a journalist, and it makes me sad to know I work in the field.

Ray feeling the pressure? The Sens didn’t win (or lose) because of him last season… Gerber is technically the better goalie and Ray has a messed up wrist…
Hard to go (and stay) with the guy coming off an injury while the other guy is playing stellar in goal… ask Gerber!
Perhaps Mr. Ego II (Spezza is Mr. Ego I) is being taken down a notch or two?
lol “I’m not speaking to the media on game days”, please… lol
