Yesterday was a tragic day in the life of Don. Veteran Oiler, Ryan Smyth was traded to the NY Islanders. Smytty has been with the Oilers since '94. Even his jersey number is 94.
Smytty is the embodiment of classic Canadian hockey. Textbook sportsmanship, crafty and coy on the ice without being a dick. He's even got the hair. He's a good egg, just like my Donny. Dependable, amiable and let's not forget talented. He's known for his "sticking close to home" goals.
We'll miss you, Smytty.
