The Two-Line Pass

So Sept. 2 was Ray Emery’s KHL debut, and it.. umm. Yeah, it didn’t go well.

Emery gave up six goals in a 6-5 overtime loss to Spartak.

“This morning I managed to watch Ray Emery’s KHL debut for Atlant Mytishchi vs. Spartak Moscow. Emery’s Atlant lost 6-5 in overtime with the winning goal scored by Stefan Ruzhichka on the power play.

Emery looked a little shaky, he let in a goal from the point with no one standing in front of him and was beaten on a break-away by a tied up forward whose shot seemed to surprise him. The highlight of the game was a beautiful goal scored by Alexander Yunkov after a nice pass from his brother(?) Mikhail Yunkov behind the net caught Emery looking the wrong way.

Atlant made it close with a game tieing goal from Pronin late in the game but Spartak managed to capitalize on the power play on a penalty in overtime and win the game.”

Not good, Ray. Not good at all. To be fair though, Emery never even had a chance on the game-winner.
