"I never said it was really bad," Emery said Friday, a day after Ottawa beat the Sabres in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. "I just said there were more things to do on a day off in Manhattan."
Tell that to Western New Yorkers, who took Emery's comments -- "There's not a lot to do on days off," he was quoted as saying -- as a slap in the face.
Buffalonians are already touchy after former Buffalo Bills running back Willis McGahee complained in January that there was nothing to do in town. McGahee was traded to Baltimore in March.
Emery was booed incessantly in Game 1 and particularly jeered with chants of "Emery! Emery!" after each of Buffalo's two goals in the Sabres' 5-2 loss.
"I get a kick out of it," said Emery, who stopped 18 shots to improve to 9-2 this postseason. "If they're chanting your name, it's pretty easy to stay motivated."
