Chill out with the edgelord stuff. Pretending he’s wasn’t/isn’t a fan favourite is completely silly.

ANYONE who comes back from an absence gets cheered. That's the human thing to do. I couldn't stand when Steve Smith was the Flames captain in the late 90s, but would've cheered his return IF he was able to come back from that career-ending neck injury. Doesn't make him a fan favourite.
He was a fringe NHLer prior to the mental health sabbatical, and he's a fringe NHLer now. He's played 201 games, and racked up a whopping 55pts over that time. Whoopdeedooooo.
