    I will always remember Ray as a good person first & foremost. I envied his demeanor. He had a contagious personality. People were drawn to him. I made close friendships bc of him @DaveBolland I will never forget his selflessness. Man this hurts. Rest easy Uncle Ray Ray

    Heading home to 🇨🇦 for Ray Emery’s celebration of life today. It’s been a rough week. Looking forward to sharing stories with the mutual friends I’ve made through Ray, honoring his life & hopefully finding some type of closure or relief, if at all possible

    #Quenneville deserves better. A mans man. He was the most respected coach amongst players that I’d ever played for. If this desperate move doesn’t help the @NHLBlackhawks Hockey Operations ppl will begin to be relieved of their duties next. #Blackhawks
