That's just awful.

Rest in Peace, Razor.

Rest in Peace Ray. Much respect from this Flyers fan.

Terrible news. Condolences to his family.

A guy with true passion for the game, character person. He will be missed!

One of my all time favorite goalies. So sad.

I posted this on the main NHL thread....first thing I thought of.

Rangers fan here.......I can't tell you how many times I have seen Emery play both live and just on TV going to Rangers, Devils and Islanders games ( I follow all 3 teams but am a die heard Rangers fan.) I watched him grow from a rookie to the man he was until the last game I saw him play. Totally horrible and messed up, I really feel bummed. Feel almost as if he was on my favorite team I watched him play so much. I really don't know what else to say, I'm stunned and as a fan of pretty much all the Metro teams, I really feel like I lost one of my fav players almost. Just watched him play for SO many years and SO many times. Rest in Peace, Razor.

So so sad. Did he hit his head?

Hard to imagine an athlete drowning in a lake without having hit his head or intoxication.

What a tough break for a guy who made a tremendous career come back only to have his life shortened. Poor guy.

Horrible, upsetting news. I watched a lot of him between the Flyers and living in Ottawa. One of the toughest guys pound for pound.

It was upsetting to hear this news, Emery seemed like a good dude by all accounts. But 24 hours later seeing former teammates comment just makes it all the more sad.

My thoughts are with his family in this terrible moment.

I grew up about 15 minutes away from where he died and have been to this marina many times. There are rocks nearby and I think this is most likely what happened.

RIP Ray

It must have been something like that. As already stated, hard to imagine an athletic guy drowning in a lake without extenuating circumstances.

I'm having trouble with this one boys. Tragedy all around us but some hit harder than others.

Ugh that is awful. I saw his ex-fiance's instagram post, so sad but it sounds like he lived life hard. Reminds us all that life is fleeting

He did live a hard life and always has. I'm living in the Sault now and have heard some first hand stories about him from his junior days
