emery looking good so far

Ray Emery had an interesting season with the Ottawa Senators two years ago. He had a number of incidents with his own teammates as well as some others teams, most notably against the Buffalo Sabres when he fought Martin Biron and Andrew Peters.

Along with several incidents during practices and the fact that his performance was slipping, the Senators thought it was best for the team that Emery not return. Emery then went to Russia and played for Atlant Moscow in the KHL. He was involved in an altercation with the team's trainer after being pulled out of a game. After a year in Russia, Emery returned to North America and signed with the Philadelphia Flyers.

And, despite everything that has happened around him, he's had a good start to the season. Emery has played a solid three games so far, recording three wins and one shutout so far. The season is still young, but Emery has definitely shown a turnaround and it wouldn't be surprising if he carried the Flyers a long way this year. In fact, several hockey analysts and experts predict that the Flyers will either make it to the Stanley Cup Finals or even win the Cup.
