emery can play.

[bduff54]

for some reason i get the impression that everyone on this board thinks Emery is a walk over, the guy is not that bad.

He has been very good in these playoffs and can be unbeatable at times, like any other goalie in the league the key will be getting traffic in front of the net.

I just wouldn't underestimate as much as some of you guys are, he is definitely good enough to win this series.

[Meathead]

youre black!

[bduff54]

haha, oh god

[GOBILLSGO!!!]

If we get pucks on him, they will go in. Is he a solid goalie? Of course, or else Gerber would be between the pipes. However, whenever we've played the Sens, Emery hasn't looked all that sharp in his handling of the puck early. Key will be getting to him fast and scoring....build a quick lead and his confidence will be shot.

[TRIPLE P]

Emery is the worst goalie we'll have seen so far.....

[bduff54]

actually i would say dubie is the worst you have seen so far, lol.

I know what you mean, he is not in the class of the first two thats for sure.

i just hear some people saying he is a bum and has no chance, i am not sure that is true. His playoff stats are equal to millers

Ruff Slams Emery... After the Big, Dumb POS offered his opinion on the City of Buffalo Ruff came back with:

“He’ll find things to do,” Ruff said with a laugh. “Rent a Hummer truck, go for a ride. Drive around a little bit.”

Good one, Lindy. Emery was involved in a three-car accident in his Hummer on the way to the airport last Friday for Game Five of the New Jersey series (no one was injured). It seems he was rushing to the airport after oversleeping. Emery missed the team flight. Maybe he was exhausted from a big night in that simmering cultural hotbed, Ottawa.

And the Rangers weren't? They had about 4 players collapsing in front of the goalie. And they also had a waaaaaaaaaay better goalie in Lundquist. Emery is a good goalie, but very beatable.

cmon Duff, you come to this board telling us Sabre fans, that have seen Emery play plenty of times, that he is better than what we think.

We saw him choke last year in the playoffs against us, and he is going to do it again this year.

cool, i think he has learned a lot since then. He won't be amazing but he won't get blow out either.

burlington is a suburb of toronto

[MauvaisSang]

Emery is pretty damn good. He's also the weakest starting goalie left in the playoffs. Is he better than Miller? No. Is he better than Lundqvist? Hell no. This is where most people's confidence is coming from in regards to the goalie matchup. The Senators are a lot better up front and on the blueline than the Rangers, but it is reassuring knowing the Sabres are playing a rebound machine, rather than a brick wall, this series.

[MauvaisSang]

he looked good against pittsburgh and they can score, i am not sure if you guys have been watching much of ottawa. They are not playing an offensive game right now, they are playing very tight defensively.

I've seen Ottawa play more than any other team that isn't the Sabres. I've watched every second of their playoff run. Emery had some very good games against Pittsburgh - particularly game 4, where he only got something like 25 shots, but at least half of them were great scoring chances. That said, a lot of his great saves were necessary because he let up bad rebounds. And I thought he was downright ordinary against New Jersey (one of the least offensively prolific teams in the Eastern Conference.) The Senators could have had Ty Conklin in net and beaten New Jersey, the way Brodeur was playing.

[bduff54]

yeah, brodeur was so weird, he let in brutal goals and then made saves that blew my mind

[pigpen65]

What do you think Al?

"“I think we can take advantage of him,” said Ales Kotalik. “I think Ryan is a better goalie than him. We’ve been facing better goalies than he is. We will see. He’s got a big, big body. But we know he can give up some pretty easy goals. So hopefully, he didn’t forget last year’s playoffs and he’s going to give up some this year, too.”"

How much do you think Lindy wanted to add "..better yet, let Heatley drive you around" before self-censorship kicked in?

[Meathead]

compared to miller emery was a pretty big disadvantage for ottawa last playoffs

its not that way any more

miller is still better but emery isnt nearly as far behind as he used to be. he does give up considerably more rebounds than miller and thats where the sabres are going to have to take advantage. but the sens are playing as good defense as anybody right now so thats gonna be tough

its hard to imagine the series not going seven and we just gotta pray the home ice makes a difference in the decider

[TRIPLE P]

The Rangers constantly had 4 guys sitting in front of the net. Even when Lundqvist gave up a nice rebound, a Sabre player couldn't get anywhere near it. So I don't think the defense is going to be any better than what New York played, but i think with Ottawa the transition coming back at Miller is going to be much better.

[Maz]

We need to rattle Emery early; I want to see that huge ego of his bruised for good! I absolutely loathe Emery, he is a cocky... no class bastard! We just need to keep taking what we get; he'll give us some easy ones I promise! I want to see him try to body slam or low blow someone like Zubby or anyone on our roster to, I want someone to REALLY put Emery's ass in his place!

[bduff54]

Lindy would never say that, he has way more class than that.

It's not even funny at all. He lost his best friend in that accident.

[Sabres Cutie]

Emery can play... with himself.

Sorry, had to do it.

[Sabres Cutie]

Not funny, but shows how stupid Heatley was/is. Driving drunk and charged with first-degree vehicular homicide, reckless driving and serious injury by vehicle, car torn in half and mangled beyond recognition, pieces of the car and its contents could still be found hours after the accident...

Me personally... I think he should be in jail with the original 3-15 years of prison sentence, not playing hockey with 3 years of probation.

I still call him killer every time he is on the ice. I hope he thinks of Dan Snyder and his family every SECOND of his life and feels guilty for being an ass hole with lots of money.

He wasn't drunk according to the law, but that doesn't mean he wasn't impaired.

Anyway, back to this thread. Emery sucks. :wink4:

[bduff54]

get you're fact straight. he wasn't drunk at all, and yes i bet he does think of Snyder all the time. He was a young guy that made the same mistake all of us have made many times. He was driving too fast and was showing off, every single person on this message board has done something in their life.

[Goldrush3]

First off, just because someone else has done it does not justify it.

Secondly..sure... I bet everyone here has done something stupid when they were young...being young doesn't justify it either, and I bet I could guarantee that no one here has killed someone while driving stupidly.

I think people aren't willing to forget about it because of the 3 years probation. I'd bet if it were me that had done that, there would have been jail time...and deservedly so. He got off....that rankles people. It rankles me anyway. Anyway I'm really tired of hearing the 'young and stupid' defense. It's not....he was old enough to drive then he was old enough to know better. Period.

[Bay Side]

Ah....The power of Fame and Money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bduff54]

i am not disagreeing that the punishment was lenient, i just don't understand people like sabres cutie who call him a "murderer".

He is not a murderer, his best friend died when he was fooling around being a showoff, its not like he shot him in the back.

i really hope sabres fans don't start chanting that or anything, most sabres fans are above that i would imagine.

[Carl J. Ironsides]

What is this board coming to when I have to log on for the first time today and find a post that acts like Ray Emery is some sort of elite goalie? Bduff, enough of your antagonistic, Sean Avery act. We're tired of it.

Cool, boss?

[bduff54]

elite? i said he can play. its my opinion, everybody else says he sucks, i disagree. sorry man, its a fair thread about the opposing teams goalie. not a big deal

[Carl J. Ironsides]

The red light will be going on behind Ray "Rebound" Emery more than Ryan Miller, that's for sure.

[bduff54]

i hope your right, i hate the sens, if they win this year i will get trashed talked by so many fans.

i am not sure why i have to pretend i think the goalie is bruta to be a good fan? I think he is alright and good enough to win, i was just countering all the guys around here who think he is a brutal and will let in 6 a game.

[aWinAgainov]

He has a little more experience and a lot more confidence this year. He definitely won't be a pushover but if Miller can play better than him then the Sabres will win

[Mamaduke]

What's crazy too, is how fast he was driving. On a small, curvy residential street- right in the middle of Buckhead where all the bars are. It was just insane and still bothers Atlanta hockey fans to this day.
Dan Snyder was so wonderful. His parents were here & at games a couple of times this year. They always recognize them during the games. He is truly missed.
So I am glad Heatley has moved on. It was what was best for him. You know he lives with those demons everyday. Poor thing....
Anywhoo -
Let's go :sabres: & win this series in 5!!!!

[stevesy]

IF Emery can control his rebounds, the Sabres are in deep shit.

Same could be said for any goalie. Goalies are supposed to control their rebounds. It's fundamentals... But I'd hardly say that is the key to whether the Sabres are in or out of deep shit in this series. Even the greatest of goalies can't just "control their rebounds" and seal a game.

I mean, how many of the Sabres goals lately are coming off of rebounds anyway? More often than not this season, and in the playoffs, the Sabres look for the wide open nets, the finesse shots, the top shelfers. That's their game. They aren't the type of team that crashes the net looking to bang in the rebounds at all times. If they were, they'd have a hell of a lot more SOG per game.

The key to Emery's success/the Sabres downfall is in fact much simpler than controlling rebounds. It's whether he can get himself (and stay in) position at all times. Lundqvist and DiPietro have a knack for making it look like players are taking terrible shots and shooting right at them, simply because they have great movement and can get in great position on shots. That's what makes them world class goaltenders. Emery is not world class. Emery has issues with movement. And while the cliche with Emery is he has terrible "lateral movement" even though it is cliche, it's still true. He's improved, but there are going to be times this series, and I'll guarantee this, that his (relatively) slow reaction time and movement are going to cause goals where Lundy or DiPi would have made a gamebreaking save.

Yes, Bduff, he "can play" but he is in a lower class than the two we've already faced.

[stevesy]

So I am glad Heatley has moved on. It was what was best for him. You know he lives with those demons everyday. Poor thing...

Thank you.

I'd like to think Sabres fans could be a bit more mature and show some damn class and stop calling Heatley a murderer. When did we become Philly fans? I'd love to see any of you actually say that to his face, man-to-man. Everyone is a big man behind a computer screen and a keyboard.

This series is about hockey. Not some situation between human beings that caused serious pain that I'm willing to bet none of you that call Heatley a murderer can begin to relate to on a personal level. It's easy to look on from the outside and pass judgment, but if anything like this happened with people that you loved dearly, you'd be singing a different tune. Accidentally killing someone that you love so dearly is unthinkable and it's hardly something to joke about.

Some of you seriously need to grow up...

[beTough54]

Here's an accident where I would feel bad for the driver of the car:

Car 1: Person driving with friend in car below speed limit progresses through a green light at an appropriate speed. An idiot driver careens through a red light at a high speed and slams into the passenger side, killing the driver's friend. That's an accident.

Driving after drinking, doing a ridiculous speed on small RESIDENTIAL ROADS, and then as a result of your reckless driving slamming your car into something and killing your friend is not an "accident." The only reason that happens is because you choose to drive that way. It offends me that hundreds of innocent people die in true accidents and people have the gall to call what Heatley did an "accident." People don't get probation because of "accidents," they get probation because of crimes. Heatley is a convicted criminal, not a ****ing victim of an accident. It's a shame he is still walking among innocent people.

[beTough54]

sorry bout the triple post :(

[stevesy]

Stop misconstruing everything.

I'm not justifying what he did. I'm not saying the punishment wasn't lenient. I'm saying that he's not a MURDERER in the sense of the word that everyone is using.

It wasn't PREMEDITATED. He didn't WANT TO KILL his BEST FRIEND. He probably wakes up every morning wishing it was him that died and not his friend. Think you could deal with that kind of pain?

Just THINK for a second about what you would think if someone you loved was in a situation like Heatley's. It's sad that even Snyder's parents can forgive the guy, but some sports fans who have no ties to the situation what so ever can still have some sort of unjustified hate for him. GROW UP. GET SOME LIFE EXPERIENCE. THEN TALK.

edit: Sorry if this comes off as hostile. I'm just a big believer in forgiveness and a huge non-believer in people trying to relate to situations and tragedies and hate for the sake of hating when they have no ties to it. Judge not, lest ye be judged.

[beTough54]

I'm sorry that I have a higher standard for people than you. I prefer non-criminals to criminals.

[dasaybz]

so if a guy is doing 100 mph in a residential neighborhood, and gets into a terrible accident and kills a guy, it should just be shrugged off and classified as a terrible accident?

sorry, but that's complete bullshit in my eyes

he should have served some jail time for that

[beTough54]

That's exactly my point. Why the hell should I feel sorry for a guy that was 100% responsible for the death of a human being? I feel sorry for people that suffer from things they can't control. You would have him treated the same way as completely innocent human beings, and that's just wrong.

Criminals don't deserve the same sympathy that normal human beings do.

[dasaybz]

It's not that I don't have sympathy for Heatly, because I do. It really has to suck knowing that you took somebody else's life. He probably replays that day in his head over and over again. I'm sure he feels completely tortured whenever he sees Snyder's family.

That being said, the guy should have went to jail.

[stevesy]

I'm sorry that I have a higher standard for people than you. I prefer non-criminals to criminals.

As for you, save your self-righteous rhetoric and sarcastic assumptions. I'm not an idiot, and I'd prefer to discuss things in a mature manner.

That being said, the guy should have went to jail.

I'm sorry if you guys read into my thoughts and assumed I made him out to be the victim in my posts, because honestly that was far from my intention. Just trying to shed light on other perspectives. I have sympathy for him. But that does not mean that I think what he did was okay.

I'm not saying it should be shrugged off. When did I say that?

But it has been close to 4 years. It's over. Of all people, Sabres fans need to let it go. That was my main point. Please try to stay on track here to what I said first: I'd prefer not to see 100's of Heatley is a murderer posts and shouts on the shoutbox. Is that too much to ask?

I mean hell, some of you guys were comparing Richard Park to the killer at Virginia Tech. Since I actually go there, and have ties to the tragedy, that was sickening to me. Now some of you may have thought it was funny to compare your hate for a mass murderer to your petty little hate of an NHL player by comparing their likenesses, but that is precisely the point. Perspectives and points of views on ANYTHING change largely when you can relate to it or experience it first hand. Just asking to see some class, that's all. Consider the points of views and feelings of others when posting...

Now can we talk hockey?

[Iggy72]

Anyways, back to the original topic...

The thing about Emery is that he has been good, though not necessarily Luongo-like. He was better than Brodeur, which was shocking. He also has good defensemen in front of him.

I did notice, though that he didn't face sustained pressure the way Luongo and Lundqvist did, and I think that's key. He has been confident, bordering on cocky, and that may cost him in the long run.

It would be a big mistake to brush him off, as duff points out, but it's not like he's carrying the team like Luongo did for Vancouver.

I think it was more a case of Brodeur being worse than Emery. Brodeur looked really bad in that series, and wasn't particularly awesome during the TB series either.

Emery may look better than he did last year at this time, but he isn't the strongest goalie that the Sabres have faced yet. We'll see how much he's improved tomorrow.

[SabresFan220]

I don't think Lindy would have mentioned anything about Heatley's driving skills. If anyone remembers, Lindy lost his brother in a bus accident some 20 odd years ago. The ESPN article about the 20 year anniversary was posted on the forum not too long ago.

Fine, driving impaired... Whatever. The guy is dead, and he was speeding at about 80 mph. You're gonna get technical on the difference between one drink? He wasn't capable of driving safe, so to me he had too much to drink.

[bduff54]

huh? your telling me a 210 lb man who had a beer or two is impaired? Why do we even have laws then? He was tested and there was a slight bit of alcohol in his system, you have never had a drink and drove? Alchohol was not the cause of Snyders death. Heatley being stupid was but you can't just say he was drunk because you want to. That's not fair.

[Ralonzo]

IF Emery can control his rebounds, the Sabres are in deep shit.

He hasn't been doing it yet. He's also not good at squaring up after moving laterally, which makes him very vulnerable to one-timers. I've been watching him in the playoffs to make sure he hasn't suddenly turned into a legit starter. He's been letting in some junk, but fortunately the guys on the other end have been letting in more. To me he looks maybe as good as Robert Esche was last year.

[Thumper]

Emery's rebounding problem is obvious. The Sabres had to worry about Lundqvist's ability to cover the bottom of the net as well as his ability to swallow rebounds. So the Sabres took him high.

With Emery, shoot low, shoot high, whatever. You'll probably get a chance at a few rebounds. But most importantly, the bang-bang plays in front of the net are his kryptonite. The Sabres know it. They're capable of connecting on those, and getting Emery to move side to side gives him trouble. He has very average lateral movement.

He's also capable of getting rattled. If the Sabres can get a quick one or two on him, he gets thrown off his game. Miller, on the other hand, doesn't.

Maybe tonight Emery will be more worried about what he's doing after the game than during it.

[bduff54]

lol, we will see. the description you just gave sounded like a high school all-star.

[Ralonzo]

We'll see duff. Thumper and I are seeing one Ray Emery (remarkably consistent observations). Maybe you're seeing another.

[Bay Side]

Time will tell boys!!!! Go Sabres!!

[Thumper]

lol, we will see. the description you just gave sounded like a high school all-star.

A high school all-star would be playing against other high schooler's.

Is Emery capable of playing good? Yes. He has been playing very well for most of the season and into the playoffs. Is Emery capable of playing bad? Yes. We've all seen him do that in the past as well. Ales Kotalik know's it, but I wish he didn't say what he said before the series. Ralonzo and I know it, and we can say it all we want without worrying about the consequences.

Goalie's have weaknesses, bduff. Even if they're NHL'ers. Emery happends to have 2 main weaknesses. He's prone to giving up juicy rebounds, and his feet aren't as quick, post to post, as any goaltender left in the playoffs. It hasn't affected his win column, however. But the Sabres are a good enough team to expose those weaknesses. Just like Ottawa has the talent that can expose Miller's high blocker side.

Instead of laughing out loud (or typing lol, we will see) at those two very obvious and well documented points regarding Emery, go ahead and disagree with me....But at least have a point.
