We Got Ourselves a Violent one

Say hello to the Flyers new goaltender -- Raymond J. Emery.


A few +'s
--He's black.
--NHL record of 71 - 40
--Went to Stanley Cup Finals w Ottowa in '07
--He's young and athletic (I guess I already said 'black')
--We can finally say 'our goalie can beat up your goalie' again
--He beat up Marty Biron (and fought Peters) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSMuzYxukrc
--He gets DUI's and probably does lots of coke
--He's insane
--He's signed on for one year at $1.5 Mil
--Now we can almost afford a top-notch defenseman




A few -'s
--He's black
--He had a great record with a good team
--He gets DUI's and probably does lots of coke
--He's insane
--He signed for one year
--He has more speeding tickets than I have herpes sores (zero, i swear!)
--He spent all of last year in back-alley Russia
--That picture has him standing next to Jeff Carter. I hope he didn't touch Emery. I hate Jeff Carter.



So, by process of The Commutative Property we can determine the hard facts. I'm sure this is how scientists do it. So now, after doubling all the negatives and cancelling out the similars we are... left... with....




The facts
--Went to Stanley Cup Finals w Ottowa in '07
--He's young and athletic
--We can finally say 'our goalie can beat up your goalie' again
--He beat up Marty Biron (and fought Peters) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSMuzYxukrc
--He's getting $1.5 Mil
--Now we can almost afford a top-notch defenseman
--He spent all of last year in back-alley Russia
--He (probably) made physical contact w Jeff Carter




Looks like we got ourselves a conundrum wrapped in a riddle all oiled up in mystery baby. And it's black. Please don't become friends w Jeff Carter Ray, please. Time will tell whether this will be a huge bust or whether the Flyers are geniuses.

He'll either defect and ruin the team and we will have burned Marty Biron wrongly----
or we'll have gotten a goalie out to prove himself for crazy crazy cheap and spent the extra money on an elite defenseman and be ready to kick some major NHL ass next year!




We'll see how this mad man shakes out. But I smell 'parade'.
