Ryan Smyth = HERO!

Did anyone see the Oilers game yesterday? That was amazing... I thought the Oilers were done when they were losing 4-1 to the Sharks. But Ryan Smyth led his team to the victory with an assist and the fastest hat trick in Oilers history! Wow!

This is why Smyth is an infintely more valuable player than Kovalev, Kovy.

agree, problem with Kovalev is that he's an enigma. We don't know what he got from him every night. But I still think Kovy is a gift to hockey because what he CAN SOMETIMES do on the ice is just unreal.

lol. here goes the debate again. I think you like it eh. It's always you who put gas in the fire and then it goes again. Looking at this at think that Gill and Belak, are way better than Kovalev. because they are always constant they play 0 games out of 82. Holy f***, it seems like any players are better than Kovalev which is so false. Anyway, I have other things to do than debate, so I'll let you on that. And BTW, Sundin looked like a huge retard yesterday, I can't believe you guys say he is a constant player. lol

...Smyth isn't afraid to get his nose a bit dirty, either. The only hit I've ever seen Kovy throw was the elbow on Tucker last season.

I'm trying to understand your post but broken English is a pain to listen to let alone read.

The point was brought up because of an old argument that stemmed from a talent v. heart discussion or something along those lines. Kovy sided with talent/Kovalev and needless to say people mentioned Smyth as having heart. This goes into the file for why I would choose heart over talent any day of the week and once on Sunday.

As for Sundin and being a "constant" player, I admit it looked like he had a horrible night. He's still more consistent though, which you should highlight in your whatever-you-speak-to-English dictionary.

If you want to win games, you better have Smyth but if you want to see "nice goals" you better have Kovalev.

But a goal is a goal and even if Smyth scored on 3 deflections, he still made his team win. You can be the best player in the world, able to shift 3-4 players everytime but if the puck doesn't cross the goal line, it's useless.

They all look the same on the scoreboard/scoresheet.

So do empty net goals, but you wouldn't call someone a great player for scoring those would you?

They don't look anything alike because those have (EN) after them.

Not too many coaches have bad players on the ice in EN situations.

Woooooo! Sundin must be pretty retarded to have a 500 goal career. A hattrick against the flames tonight got him there. Shorthanded in overtime....... Yup a huge retard.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

If you don't know what you're talking about, and you're arguing just for the sake of arguing, do everyone a favor and just don't talk.

Well put.

BTW, Smyth got another couple hard working tip-ins tonight. That's 5 in 2 games!
