I've said all along, I'm not a huge fan of it because it's too individual.
"Ryan Alexander Gordon Smyth" is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey winger (ice hockey)/winger who played most of his career for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was especially known for playing in the style of a power forward (ice hockey)/power forward. Smyth announced his retirement on April 11, 2014, after 19 seasons in the NHL.
During his junior career, Ryan Smyth spent three years with the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League (WHL), scoring 105 points during the 1993–94 season. Smyth was then selected 6th overall in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft by the Edmonton Oilers. That year he played only three games for the Oilers, as he stayed for the majority of the year in Moose Jaw. He spent 12 seasons with Edmonton before being traded to the New York Islanders in 2006–07 NHL season/2007 due to failed contract negotiations. Becoming an unrestricted free agent in the subsequent off-season, he signed a five-year contract with the Colorado Avalanche. After two seasons with the team, he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in July 2009. On June 26, 2011, he was re-acquired by the Edmonton Oilers for Colin Fraser and a seventh round pick in 2012 NHL Entry Draft/2012.

Every player hates sitting out and watching whether they're injured or a healthy scratch especially when things are not going so smooth.
We have a lot of young players that can step up. The expectations are high on them.
I don't know how you should decide a game, but it is for the fans and I know we had to make some adjustments and changes to the game. We got the better end of this one.
If that was an indication the clutching and grabbing is going to be gone now. I really noticed it on the power plays. You know that crosscheck on the back? I didn't feel it. That'll really make a difference with Derian Hatcher, Richard Matvichuk, Chris Prong ... hold it. He's on our team now.
The towels were flying around and it felt like a playoff game. There really was new energy and new excitement.
It was nice to see the fans out there like that after what we went through during the CBA.
