Hey hey, make room for Ray-ray

Ray Emery recovered from hip injury, trying for comeback

Good for him.

One of the highest risk factors for Avascular Necrosis (AVN) is anabolic steroid use. It's not always the case but in a young athlete, it is highly suspicious.

Kind of makes you think back on his road rage, fighting in practice and general lunacy in Ottawa in a different light.

Hopefully his hip holds up and he has grown. He's a good goalie and I'd like to see him do well.

Yeah, it makes you wonder Kenny. It's too bad though because it looked like he had such a bright future ahead of him.

I hope to see him come back and do well too.

 

[awaz]

i think someone will/should give him a chance.. he looked very solid for the flyers last year

 

[maddogmark25]

Maybe Detroit can sign him...

of course if Snow-blower doesn't get him first because they STILL need a goalie

 

[puckhead]

looks like Ducks are close to signing him.

pushing Noodles down to $3 in the pecking order?

 

[SLY]

Ducks or Red Wings for sure. Maybe the Avs I heard a rumor of. Also heard Philly is "mildly" interested, dunno why.

You mean the Tabasco Kid? (also known as McBackup)

Avascular Necrosis isn't something you can come back from easily...it tends to crop back up sooner or later. Good luck to him, but in my learning about it we were basically told it's a career ender.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

read this a couple of days ago ... the writer from the vancouver sun wasnt getting the time of day until he mentioned he wanted to talk to Bo about Ray Emery who was dealing with the same injury that ended Bo's career

Bo knows football, baseball and long odds of Ray Emery's NHL comeback

yeah, I got those Kipper backups mixed up.

They still love Noodles in Motown (lol)

In April, he underwent a very specialized and complex procedure that involved removing 13-centimetres from his right fibula and then grafting it to the femur to re-introduce a proper blood supply to the area.

jesus christ.

 

[pixburgher66]

jesus christ.

Wow...seriously I've never heard of that procedure. Wonder if that's a more recently developed one. Makes sense though. The fibula is the least weight bearing of the lower extremity bones, but I don't know how they could re-establish blood supply to the area, because it's just a degenerative thing. Who knows, very interesting though.

It is Pix.

Hip replacements that are often the treatment for AVN would have, as you alluded to in your earlier post, pretty much ended his career. He chose this riskier, but higher reward, option instead.

For what it's worth Brett Favre had AVN and, unfortunately, his career was anything but too short.

We're like elephants, we never forget. Poor, homeless, frozen elephants huddled around a trash can fire.

It really doesn't matter who signs him. With Dipietro injured, the Islanders will pick Emery up on waivers.

they just picked up Joel Martin, former Vancouver Giant goalie ... I remember him one time getting lost on the way to Pacific Coliseum for a home game

/this after he'd been on the team for 2 years

darwin award winner

Martin was already playing in Bridgeport. They just signed him to a two way contract.

 

[puckhead]

Official - signs 2-way deal with the Ducks.
must clear waivers.

Ducks sign Emery to one-year, two-way contract
