Tonight very well could be Ryan Smyth's last game wearing the Edmonton Oilers colors as a player in the NHL. Even with one more year left on his deal, the growing consensus is Smyth will/should be pushed into retirement at some point this summer.
If this does happen, I have no doubt #94 will be given a job within the Oilers organization. He's been a true blue Oiler and I can't see him going anywhere else.
I hope you, much like I'm going to, enjoy this very last look at the heart and soul of the old Edmonton Oilers.
Goodbye Ryan Smyth. It's been an awesome ride...

I too think this was it for #94.
ReplyDelete1)They showed his wife and kids in the stands(all the kids wearing Oilers jerseys of course). 2)He never left the ice for the last 2 minutes telling me that Ralphy was leaving him out there for a reason.
I hope he gets a good front office job. He has certainly earned it.
He gave my niece his stick at the end of the game on Saturday! What a keepsake!
