Its Official (almost)

by Anne

It has been announced by the Philadelphia Flyers that they have agreed to a one-year contract with Ray Emery, formerly of our *favorite* Ottawa Senators.

I thought they'd wait until Raymond could officially sign on the dotted line on July 1, but they decided to jump the gun and announce it today.

Greeeeaaaaat. At least Heatley has said he wants to go to Edmonton, far, far away where he'll only bother us a maximum of twice next year if Edmonton is one of our three "at large" games. Peace out, Heater.

I can't wait for the "Emmmmmeryyyyy! Emmmmmeryyyyy!" chants to rain down from HSBC Arena, though, that will be fun to have back. Just as long as the Sabres are winning.

My best friend is moving to Harlem in August, my only solace is that I can have a place to stay when I get dirt cheap tickets to see John Tavares play next season. Nevermind that it'll take two hours one way to get from Harlem to Nassau Coliseum by public transportation and just over one hour driving. Whatevs.

I fell off my treadmill yesterday. Now I have a bruise on my knee. I'm one slick kid.

Still only Wednesday. Still 55 hours and 40 minutes until Game 7.

• Ray Emery really actually will be the Phlyers new goaltender. The rumor inches closer to reality. Nothing can be made official until July 1 so it still remains just scuttlebutt... but, come on. We all know its going to happen
  

• Should we start a "Bring Biron Back to Buffalo" campaign? Cari makes great t-shirts, I'm sure she'd love to contribute to the cause

• "Hey Liiindyyyy..."

YESSSS. Just when I was seriously contemplating taking a vaycay from hockey, I hop over to TSN and see a beautiful, beautiful story:

BYE BYE RAY!

Ha! Even the Russians know Emery isn't a long-term gamble. 1 year! Weeell that might mean he'll be back in the NHL after that... eh I'll have forgotten about him by then... nope, that's a lie.

The creation of this new Russian Continental League may one day depress me, but as it stands its taken 2 of my least favorite players OUTTA HERE!

See ya!
