Emond's Stats
Love Lovell coming here, very solid addition. Emonds stats seem to have tappered off the last few seasons, which concerns me.

Lovell is a soild pickup.
Emond with a solid team in front of him should be really good.

| New coach Jason Christie made his first player announcements today – both veterans. Goaltender Marco Emond, 33, is entering his 13th minor league season and has experienced three championship seasons in the CHL. During two of those, he was a primary goalie for Laredo (2003-04) and for Colorado (2006-07). Those were two of his best seasons, posting a record of 22-4-4 with a 2.10 goals against for Laredo while going 28-8 with a 2.54 with Colorado |
Lovell is a really solid d-man and contributes on the powerplay. He will definitely be in the top pairing. Hopefully Emond can regain his old form.

| Emond is the only goaltender the Thunder has signed to date, but Christie said he plans to bring plenty of competition to training camp. “I’m a firm believer that goalies push one another,” Christie said. “You can’t solidify one spot for one guy.” |
| QUOTE |
| “Both players should bring leadership to our locker room and their past playoff experience is invaluable,” Christie said. Christie credited player/assistant coach John Snowden in assisting with the signing of both players |
Very cool giving credit to Snowden!
Nice when you have players on the team helping out with the recruiting. Some guys no matter where they play are just able to get guys to come in because their good friends. Always nice having connections.
Emond is a 
Sieve.
