I 100% support a retirement exception for Smyth. The Barrie number scare I think solidifies this. Too close for comfort. Need to ensure there is no way that happens again.
Not Smyth's fault that his team was being outspent 4:1 by cup winners during his career. You could fill up 10 cups with Smyths heart and determination and love for the game.
|
I think it's better if we just let that Allan Cup team retire Smyth's number instead. I think it would be a shame to retire the number for a guy who isn't just not a Hall of Fame guy, but was also never the best player on any of the teams he played on even.
|
He was the best player on the team post-Weight, pre-Pronger. He was also the best player (and having his best season) the year he was traded. Thats 3 or 4 years.
That said, he's just a fraction of the player Weight was. Weight is the guy that is massively disrespected.
