Ryan Smyth and awesome sniper don't belong in the same sentence. He is certainly a hard-working, in your face player and I'd take him on my team anyday. But sniper??? No way!!!
I agree CM, most of Ryan's goals are scored within 6 feet of the net, ala Gary Roberts crashing the crease type of goals, Roberts said many years ago that if he added up the distance from the net that all of the goals he scored one year they would most likely only add up to about 25 ft.....
Salo is overrated imho, this guy cannot go back to the Fjords soon enough for my liking. Time to take that Viking cartoon back to whence (sp?) it came.
Hemsky, a young comrie and like comrie we will raise him, make him our own only to see him oneday venture off to one of those US teams who like to steal our players just beacuse they have more money.
