What’s Wrong With Emery?

from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer,

After an outstanding first six weeks, Emery has crashed. He has a 5.36 goals-against average and .814 save percentage in his last five starts. Brian Boucher replaced Emery in two games.

Emery was in the trainer’s room receiving treatment after getting shelled for five goals in a little over 31 minutes against Washington. When he came out and faced reporters, Emery was surly and barely responsive.

He used 34 words to answer five questions.

None of them explained his recent problems.

Asked if he was healthy, Emery said, “Good enough to play the game.”

Asked if he had some sort of nagging injury, Emery glared at a reporter and did not respond.

He’s missing the warm busom of Mother Russia.

I admit to having the thought that Emery had the potential to be an upgrade in goal, or status quo at least. But the downward spiral is showing. Then again, it’s not easy when the other guys on the team - and perhaps the organisation itself - is selfdestructing in front of you.

Shedding any real tears is hard.

Ah, good times in Philly.  Couldn’t happen to a better team or organization.

Hmmm can’t imagine why Ottawa let him go?
