Smyth Deal

Ryan's gone. Man that's gotta burn if you are an Oilers fan. He knew how to hurt Toronto (probably any other team too) but I loved watching him play for Edmonton.

Why did he have to go to the freakin Islanders?

I know I just couldn't believe it...all day all they've talked about was Messier's being honored tonight and that Ryan 'could' become a free agent,but Edmonton news reporters figured a deal would come down. Friggin typical of the Oil to get rid of thier top team player. Next to Grets Ryan was the best role model player they've ever had.... Ya to the Islanders@#$% Rolling Eyes

And I'm a Flames fan

No there will be no re sign...Oil aquired prospects Robert Nilsson and Ryan O'marra and a first round draft pick/07...no deal was reached with Ryan so this was the deal they went for Confused

I guess we'll see how it works out Say what?

We are not happy-not happy at all-did I mention I'm not happy. Bring me the head of Kevin Lowe.

I like what the guy said about Smyth at the beginning of their last game against the Leafs (was that on Saturday night?) something like, " [10 years ago]He got a parking pass to set in front of the goalie and he's never turned it in."

That describes him pretty good. He just sits in front of the goal line and shovels in whatever comes loose! Laughing

Not always pretty, but a goal is a goal.

Ohh there's a bit more to Captain Canada then garbage goals as the lowly Leafs will see when they have to play him more often. Maybe Lowe has a plan to get him back I sure hope so.

I'm still in shock over this....all around Ryan was an awsome player BUT it was his leadership skills that often led Edmonton to thier wins....I just do not get what the heck Lowe was thinking. Someone must of peed in his cornflakes yesterday because I guess he didn't even show up for the Messier thing last night Confused

I'm sure Kevin didn't show up last night because it would of taken away from Messier's moment. It sounds like Smythe might of signed for less but the player's union was pressuring him to not lowball his value. There's alot goes on we don't know but I have a feeling if he hits it off with the Islanders owner he'll be a very wealthy man. This sucks more than when they traded Gretzky on my birthday. Good news for Big Georges getting traded to Pittsburgh.

I like Laroque and Pittsburg so to me this is a sweet deal,I heard there was some not so nice words from Goerge about the Oil but didn't hear what was said...anybody know?

No I never heard that-i actually talked to the big guy through e-mail when he got traded to Phoenix and he never said anything bad. Georges is too classy for that.
