The Post Where Justin States the Obvious
Watching last night’s hockey game, we can only come to one conclusion. Ray Emery is grossly underpaid. For 60 minutes, he kept his team in a game that they seemed to have no interest in playing. The much vaunted Heatley/Spezza/Alfreddson line has produced bupkis. That may be a function of the Anaheim defense, or it could be indicative that Ottawa has problems. You be the judge. The stat of the game though, speaks volumes. JS Giguerre saw 16 shots. Emery saw 31. In the final minutes of play, the Senators couldn’t maintain the pressure in the offensive zone to let Emery get back to the bench. Emery should have won this game, the offense in front of him lost it.
I was supposed to pick the series and I never did. For the record, I thought Ottawa would handle business in 6. I suspect that I will be wrong.
