hf101 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 It doesn't look as if he smacked his head hard on the ice, but he was whipped back pretty good. Hopefully a few days rest is all that is needed. I'll expect Emery will start tomorrow. http://twitpic.com/e0zte1 Quote
brelic Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Berube said he was fine in the post-game presser. He was taken out as a precautionary measure. Quote
Vanflyer Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Berube said he was fine in the post-game presser. He was taken out as a precautionary measure. thanks. I was praying it was not a leg / knee. But WTF emery??? Edited April 12, 2014 by Vanflyer Quote
brelic Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 thanks. I was praying it was not a leg / knee. But WTF emery??? Yeah, Emery was bad. He absolutely should have had the Neal goal. The Letang goal was a little tougher, but he looks so slow in his lateral movement. 1 Quote
Vanflyer Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Yeah, Emery was bad. He absolutely should have had the Neal goal. The Letang goal was a little tougher, but he looks so slow in his lateral movement. Agreed. There was a few games back he looked stellar, but these last (Tampa) and today, he looked like shite. Quote
Polaris922 Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Emery is always slow laterally. But I'm calling Mason for the dive!! Quote
doom88 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Easy on Emery, he came in cold. That's a tough spot to be in for a goalie. Quote

TedZep Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 But I'm calling Mason for the dive!! The gif of the crosscheck & interference is right at the top of this page, and yet still you insist on being delusional?!? Quote
Polaris922 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 The gif of the crosscheck & interference is right at the top of this page, and yet still you insist on being delusional?!?Ted you're always so kind! I see Megna push your D back into Mason. He does get hit solid in the midsection, then drops backwards like he got shot by a taser. Never seen a man's body lock up like that falling down so stiffly without electric current applied. Delusional? Only if I expected you to watch that same video with an unbiased eye. Quote
murraycraven Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Fluery looks.like he is ready for the playoffs... Lol. Quote
Philly29 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Yeah Mason dove what player wouldn't love to possibly give himself a concussion. That's...that's brilliant polaris...lol I know your joking though just trying to get some laughs and a rise out of us Flyers fans I know your not oblivious like regular pens fans are Edited April 13, 2014 by Philly29 Quote

doom88 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 He has no lateral movement. Cold or hot.I was amongst the first on that bandwagon. No argument. But, it doesn't change my statement. Quote
Howie58 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah, Emery was bad. He absolutely should have had the Neal goal. The Letang goal was a little tougher, but he looks so slow in his lateral movement.Bre: I am beginning to wonder if the guy's lateral movement is impaired. He just can't seem to move fast enough. I think his days in the NHL will be numbered. I can't see him being re-signed. The word has to be out. Peace,Howie Quote
fishbulb Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Ray's chronic hip ailment is def. showing it's effects imo. He was always known as a 'battler' and while he wasn't the quickest goalie, he wasn't statuesque like he is now. I'm sure Chi-towns defense made him look better last year, but I think he's also just physically not able to perform like last year either b/c of his hip. Def. time to hang them up. I don't want to sound like 'that guy' but I kinda wanted the flyers to look for a 3rd 'decent' goalie at the deadline. Hopefully Mase is fine. Quote
Vanflyer Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Emery is always slow laterally. But I'm calling Mason for the dive!! I enjoy your posts and perspective, but a goalie getting plowed backwards is hardly a dive. Quote
flyercanuck Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Emery is always slow laterally. But I'm calling Mason for the dive!! Emery is slow laterally. And I know you guys are a lot more familiar with all the nuances of a dive than we are, but when a player is driven back into you and you're crouched over..... Quote
canoli Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 true, you guys are more familiar with the wet noodle approach That one never gets old. Nationally-televised SCF game no less... Quote
brelic Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Bre: I am beginning to wonder if the guy's lateral movement is impaired. He just can't seem to move fast enough. I think his days in the NHL will be numbered. I can't see him being re-signed. The word has to be out. Peace,Howie Howie, I think his lateral movement is definitely impaired. That being said, he has still managed to put together some very strong performances this year, especially down the stretch. Some teams have a lot of faith in their backups because they're young, developing goalies. In this case, I wouldn't feel comfortable if Emery had to take over several games due to injury. Quote
Samifan Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 While I agree with others that say Emery is struggling with later movement and did give up a weak goal to Neal, he did make a nice save on Letang in OT just before Streit scored. Quote
canoli Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I don't think Emery's movement has been much of a problem. The bad goals he's given up this year have looked exactly like the bad goals Mason has given up: more about sloppiness, lack of focus, being unprepared and nothing to do with movement or agility. I don't recall Emery getting beat on tons of wraparounds or other types of goals that show him struggling to move. Watch Neal's goal again. Emery sees the play - the TO by Jake at the blue line...he tracks Crosby till Crosby loses the puck, watches it slide to Neal...Emery adjusts left...he's still ahead of the play, he's square to Neal when he shoots...but...he doesn't set himself properly for the shot. Why not? Your guess is as good as mine. Quote
Howie58 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Canoli: Good observation. My thought was his squaring was slow but that is my old set of eyes. Good to hear from you.. It is a long time since the strange days on Philly.com. Peace, and now we see if King Henrik can be tamed. Howie Quote
Polaris922 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I enjoy your posts and perspective, but a goalie getting plowed backwards is hardly a dive. I should've clarified... Dive as it pertains to the rule for embellishing the damage to draw attention. Quote
