If the Sens were an up and coming team like the Habs Emery would be a big deal, but on a contender he pales a little. It wasn't his fault at all last year (and he was very good in the Tampa series), just like it wasn't Huet's fault against Carolina, but those two guys are quite similar in that respect. They just don't have the capacity to make all the miraculous saves. I don't think come playoff time he will be a gamebreaker. I remember Patrick Roy in the 93 playoffs, he stopped so many pucks that no human being should have and then the team picked up this swagger in front of him. <BR/>And I don't think the Sens did it on purpose at all. No one is that mean and dumb, not even the Leafs. I just thought it was the height of stupidity. I mean its not like this happened 5 years ago. I'm glad that Gainey wasn't at the game, too.KathleenRuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121429487740078344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34275321.post-1168953848015582442007-01-16T08:24:00.000-05:002007-01-16T08:24:00.000-05:00Kathleen: I know what you mean about Emery, but h...Kathleen: I know what you mean about Emery, but honestly, I do believe he's our man this year. He's kept them in games that they had no right even being in, and my dad always takes note that he more often than not will make "the big save" that our goalies of the past were unable to make. He's calm, he's cool, and I feel more comfortable with him in nets than I ever have in the past (The Dominik Hasek Era notwithstanding, but I hate that puke so much I won't give him any accolades).<BR/><BR/>As for the misfortunate Spartacat Barbados Adventure on the Jumbotron...When I first heard about it, I literally gasped and thought, "How could they be so cruel? Did they think that was funny?" I couldn't believe that no one would have thought it in poor taste. However, since then, I have learned that it has been an on-going promotion for this Barbados trip that Melnyk is offering to the fans, and that every game for the past month has shown Sparty tossing a fan in opposing team colours overboard on his ship to the Barbados. So this was not a skit singled out just for the Habs, and even though it should have been yanked anyways, I can see how it was just an oversight. Apparently directly after it was aired, both Melnyk & Mlakar were on the phones issuing apologies as they realized what a tasteless error it was. I can guarantee you the Sens organization regrets airing it, and that they in no way wanted to make light of the tragedy that Mr. Gainey is living through.<BR/><BR/>Sharon: Well, glad to hear the fish & chips adventure did not burn down your house! And I absolutely agree with you on Emery - my only fear is that Ray will be burnt out by the time playoffs roll around, he's been so busy in nets with little relief.<BR/><BR/>And I hope to be back later today with an actual POST, but if not, definitely tomorrow!! Take care, gang!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11801639163897040531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34275321.post-1168951275121778602007-01-16T07:41:00.000-05:002007-01-16T07:41:00.000-05:00Jill, I was trying to make fish and chips and I do...Jill, I was trying to make fish and chips and I dont have a deep fryer so to get the chips part I was doing it the old fashioned way... well I put too much oil in the pot and it boiled over once the wet potatoe slices hit it... it was scary but it's all good. We won't be doing that method again, ever!<BR/><BR/>And Kathleen, when you only have 2 goaltenders, one being an over paid flopping pencil head and the other being Ray Emery, what else can we possibly do but give Ray the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best that his skills will only get better before the playoffs... After all practice does make perfect and I think Jill would agree with me!<BR/><BR/>p.s. There were SO many p.o.'d HABS fans at the Bank, it was a little scary at times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34275321.post-1168914404531455482007-01-15T21:26:00.000-05:002007-01-15T21:26:00.000-05:00Wow my mom just told me about Spartacat and pushin...Wow my mom just told me about Spartacat and pushing the person in the Habs jersey off the boat shit.

The Sens played great, they basically did everything right. That being said...and I know you won't agree with me, but I noticed one fatal flaw in the Sens roster and it is the same old story, goaltending. I know how much you guys all rave about Ray Emery, and he is solid and occasionally spectacular and waaaaaaay better than sad old Patrick Lalime, but he's not the guy. He lets out far too many juicy rebounds. I know you may say that he won and Huet let in 6 goals but the Sens were just so perfect putting the puck on the net and jumping on bad bounces he had no chance on any of them...especially that beauty of a shot by Wade. Emery is a very good goalie but where the Sens are now they need someone better than him if they want to win the Cup. Mark my words he will become a problem come playoff time. He is Big Juicy Rebound City.<BR/>Just an observation.KathleenRuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121429487740078344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34275321.post-1168905693759249912007-01-15T19:01:00.000-05:002007-01-15T19:01:00.000-05:00Hey gals!I was just out shovelling with Lukey and ...Hey gals!<BR/>I was just out shovelling with Lukey and I'd say we definitely had about 10 cm...around 4 inches. But man, did it feel great to be out in the snow "exercising"!!<BR/>Rachel: So glad you liked Grey's!! And yes, I have this problem with Meredith. I mean, I like her, and I've been rooting for her and McDreamy all along, but compared to all the trauma the rest of them have had to deal with, her "problems" seem rather petty in comparison! But I love everything about this show. My poor Georgie...I just wanted to cuddle him this week.<BR/>PK: I hear there's another game this Saturday night, so hopefully you and Chad can make it to that one. I had so much fun this past weekend that I'll probably be going back again!<BR/>Sharon: So glad to hear you didn't burn down your house!! (How did that almost happen, anyways!??) I hope you have fun at Aquafit tonight. I've gotten back on my schedule of my daily walks along with Curves 3 x week, and I feel ten times better than I did over the holidays!! So far no results on the scales, but I'm sure that will come!

But tonight might be a tad bit more treaturous.<BR/><BR/>My weekend was craptacular. I worked Friday night until 8:00. I worked an info booth at the sens game which sucked as well. Then on Sunday I was sore, I found out my quilt didn't lie flat no thanks to the pattern and I almost burned my house down! So frankly, I am glad to be back at work as busy as we may be!<BR/><BR/>I am going to AquaFit tonight as long as the weather doesn't get worse... I am excited to get back into it. I just finally got my bottle of water, I forgot it at home so I just bought one now at 11:00 when I got a slight break in things. I chugged almost all of it at once I am so parched!<BR/><BR/>Well hope your days go by quickly and without glitches!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34275321.post-1168873972321197452007-01-15T10:12:00.000-05:002007-01-15T10:12:00.000-05:00You guys went to Graham's hockey game Saturday nig...You guys went to Graham's hockey game Saturday night? We were told about it, and Ryan was supposed to call Chad and let him know what time, but he never called so we didn't have anything to do. Mark and Melissa bought me the Garfield dvd for my birthday, so we watched that. Sunday for lunch Chad's family was celebrating Scott's birthday from December 26th and Melissa's birthday which was yesterday. His mom made Chinese food, her chicken balls and homemade dinner rolls were delicious. Lots of babies in that house, it was soooo busy. The twins will be 2 already in March. Then we had supper at my house, Chad changed the oil in his car. He likes using my dad's garage because he has a pit. And that was my exciting weekend.priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953900556364433783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34275321.post-1168865810129344702007-01-15T07:56:00.000-05:002007-01-15T07:56:00.000-05:00Boy, did I ever tune into a tear jerker!

Now, I understand why you said Poor Little Merideth Grey after last seasion's finale. With everything going on, Poor little Merideth had a snoring problem, lol. Great re-cap, loved the show!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Saturday we went bowling with my parents and Trev and Jen. Boys against girls, they kicked our butts, but it was lots of fun!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956723863719076171noreply@blogger.com
