xrickyb86x 1 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 Did anyone else catch the Hockey Night in Canada After Hours interview with Ryan Smyth? Kevin Weekes had him bring out his shoulder pads and stick so fan could take a look at what he plays with. Ridiculous. His shoulder pads looked like pieces of cloth stitched into some velcro. Weekes had to ask what the original brand was (Smyth said Vaughn). His stick was also a piece of work. If anyone has pictures or videos please post them. Also, some guy tweeted in asking Smyth why he tries to look like Gretzky. LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the iceman 132 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 At the 16:40 and 28:00 mark they discuss and show the 'Moo-lay' shaft/blade combo and at the 26:30 they discuss and show his Vaughn 'modified' shoulder pads.http://www.cbc.ca/sp.../#id=2158599267 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gefiltefish 9 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 Good peice... Its all personal preference as he said countless times. I think we all can agree that it is working for him...I did not know the Grier was the one who came up with "Moo-lay" though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyers10 57 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 Funny when they asked a couple teammates about his stick and what they would do if they snapped theirs and the only stick they could get from the bench was Smyth's. One said he'd take a seat on the bench and other would immediately break it on purpose and get someone else's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't post the link because I'm on my phone. I'm pretty sure I just typed in "Ryan Smyth hockey night in Canada after hours" and I found it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headonaswivel 1 Report post Posted October 25, 2011 That may be among the worst intro's ever done....that guy is actually an ESPN reporter? Did he win an employee contest or something? Wow. At least wait for Zamboni to finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Stranger 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2011 Great curve, but that knob is horrendous. From watching him play, I would have guessed his stick would be longer than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeySavants 5 Report post Posted October 25, 2011 Gotta love how he sticks to what works, wish the clueless reporter knew at least two things about hockey. Worst piece of 'journalism' ever.I also like having a heavy bottom, and when i switched to composite blade I noticed that my feel for the puck was more noticeable when carrying the puck across the ice with a wood blade vs composite.I wish more NHLers would talk about what they like to use.
