Ray Emery = Weaksauce











Dare to disagree? And even if you do, you obviously didn't catch the fine display he put on against Columbus last night. He didn't even look interested in stopping the game winner in the shootout.

It's hard to even comprehend the situation the Senators have put themselves in. I mean, 2 goalies...sorry, 2 underachieving goalies who both belong at the end of a bench somewhere in the AHL. Yet, here we are. Sens fans get the pleasure of watching weak goal after weak goal bulge the twine (yes, I had to throw in that term) in the back of the net, night after night, while both rack up ample interest in their bank accounts.

The Poolsider brought up a valid point in our last transcontinental meeting of the minds. The way Emery is playin', he won't be in the NHL by the time he's 30. Keep in mind that's he 25. He's got another 2 years left on his $9.5 million contract. That's a lot of money to spend on Hummers, Lambos, and baby blue leisure suits!

If he doesn't get his act together in a hurry, Poolsider's forecast for the Razor may just come to fruition. Hey, at least he can fade away into oblivion like his idol, Mike Tyson.
