Ottawa inks Emery to three-year deal.

Report: Sens and G Ray Emery agree to three-year deal

Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - The Ottawa Senators have reportedly avoided salary arbitration with goaltender Ray Emery on Tuesday as the two sides agreed to a three-year contract.

According to the Ottawa Sun, the deal is worth $9.5 million.

Emery, who was a restricted free agent, led Ottawa to its first ever Stanley Cup appearance last season. The run fell just short of the ultimate prize, however, as Ottawa lost the Cup finals to Anaheim in five games.

After taking over for Dominik Hasek during the 2005-06 season after Hasek was lost to a groin injury, Emery has been Ottawa's full-time netminder. Last season he appeared in 58 games and posted a 33-16-6 record with a 2.47 goals- against average with five shutouts.

He appeared in all 20 of Ottawa's playoff games last season and was 13-7 with three shutouts and a 2.26 GAA.

Over four seasons in the NHL, all with Ottawa, Emery has a 59-27-10 mark with eight shutouts and a 2.59 GAA.

He was Ottawa's fourth round choice, 99th overall, in the 2001 draft.

The New York Islanders, desperate to find anyone who can skate, re-signed Chris Simon to a one-year deal.

A list of the games Simon will miss this season:

Let me see if I can read between the lines. In a statement, Simon said

If I run that through my handy-dandy bullshit-o-meter, I get, "No other team in the league was interested in signing my sorry ass."

Yup, the bullshit-o-meter works! I can read between the lines!

 

Re: 2007 NHL awards, draft and off-season running thread

Simon can skate?

 

Re: 2007 NHL awards, draft and off-season running thread

That was my reaction as well. I friggin skate better than Simon.

 

Re: 2007 NHL awards, draft and off-season running thread

He can't skate, but they're desperate. I hear that they're looking to bring Bossy and Trottier out of retirement. Bob Bourne, too.

The Sharks' new logo was debuted today:

 

Re: 2007 NHL awards, draft and off-season running thread

I like it, except the stick looks too cartoony

 

Re: 2007 NHL awards, draft and off-season running thread

Who gives a fuck about who's dating which NHLer? Can we have one sport that transcends the obsessive American culture?

The shark is much cooler than the old one.

Looks much better than the Capitals' new logo
