Props to the Canucks for coming out to congratulate him too. Some may think it's a rip off on what Iggy did for Linden, but you have to take those good acts and pay them forward. Good stuff.

I agree , Smyth was a warrior for the greasers, not many guys could endure the beatings Hatcher used to give him in front of the net back in the day.
And nice touch by the Canucks on paying it forward ..... Although that comment by Hrudey was annoying. It wasn't nessasary to mention Iggy leading the Flames back on the ice to shake Linden's hand but for him to say he has never seen it since the Gretzky days was stupid.
