Shoutout to "Razor"

Friday, March 02, 2007

If Jacques Chirac-tober proved nothing else (if anything at all), it's that theme months add a small touch of life where there was significant lack of before. Therefore, I think I've found a theme for March: the month of shoutouts.

Shoutouts are the laziest way of blog writing and that means I'll do it more often - perhaps every weekday? To add more content, I'll try and find some linkage for ya.

Today's shoutout goes to a master of the shutout: Ottawa Senators goalie "Razor" Ray Emery. This guy a fighting machine, going toe-to-toe on a goalie and then on a tough-guy skater during the Senators-Sabres brawl last week (props to Brad for the link). It's somewhere between unheard of and mental for a goalie to take on a recognised fighter - and I respect guys willing to tread that line.

When his fists aren't doing the talking, he can post a handy 2-0 shutout that gives me a big edge in our Fantasy Hockey League. Which I'm leading after trailing most of the season, may I add. And he's black. Believe it. So Razor, you're the man.

Biron absolutely disgraced himself in that fight, unfortunately. But did you see how much Peters pummeled Emery? Like I know Peters is a recognised fighter and all, but Emery got smoked.

Here's to goalie fights!

Wasn't Emery's best decision to take on Peters, particularly when Peters had a helmet and Emery didn't...but hey, I love it. Woo for goalie fights indeed!
