Shocking and sad to see him pass at such a young age (Only 2 yrs older then me)

RIP Ray

Horrific, and sad.

I’ll always remember that game against Calgary in 13 where he stood on his head and stole two points. Ray made something like 25 saves in the third period alone. Too young. Awful.

Yep his most memorable game. I remember Pat going crazy about his performance

Just looked it up

Hawks were outshot 47-19 and he made 45 saves that night and stole win

He played in Cayuga as a kid, and was one age group ahead of me, and played against a couple friends of mine. One of my favourite Hawk backups, and just seemed like a guy you wanted to hang out with. Loved his attitude and how he played his position.

taken too soon, what a tragedy. use to love Emery, the guy had the skills to be a number 1 IMO but his body was not able to perform. Toward the end of his career he went through extensive rehab in order to simply play. I believe it was his hips(?), I recall reading an article about many , many years ago.

6 am morning swim. All nighter? Huh?

Was at Zac Rinaldo’s charity event the night prior. Don’t want to presume anything but connecting the dots it’s hardly a crazy jump.

RIP Razor. Condolences to his family and friends. Terrible news. Was an amazing BU for the Hawks. And yeah, I agree DHF.

Had to read this three times when the article first popped up on Twitter. Did a triple-take, like "wait...what?". Really unfortunate.

Such a shame. One would think this would hit very close to home with Mr. Crawford. Life can turn on a dime.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Ugh, horrible.

RIP

That game ultimately ended up preserving their record start. That got them to 7-0-2, which ultimately led to 21-0-3

17-1 that year, like a boss.

Brutal!
