Ryan Smyth Gets Hurt - Avs vs Kings - Mar 3 08

[wooo420IsWicked]

RIP SALEI :(

[xxtroyroxz]

and goodnight Ryan Smyth

[MrLilbuzzer]

WTF

[MrBigxJ]

this hit is almost identical to the Pacioretty hit, y was Noone being little bitches on this hit??? i know bcuz the dam frogs and habs fans are fucking pussies

[MrTheMark21]

@MrBigxJ Smyth was controlling the puck and wasnt seriously injured. Pacioretty didnt have the puck, got a severe concussion and a broken neck.

[moisacrament]

Wow same thing than Pacio/Chara! Jonhson got any suspension??

[ryanroflcopter]

@moisacrament Yeah now there is news coverage, things sure have changed.

[benyaminvip]

@moisacrament but in this ryan smith case the other player just gived shoulder hit versus chara hold paciorety head to the post with his hand while hitting on the boards

[MrBigxJ]

@benyaminvip watch the hit again my friend, Chara never touched his head, y does everyone try to change the facts, no matter wat angle u look at, not one part of chara's body touches his head, the only reason y habs fans are goin nuts is bcuz it happened to their team, if it was like in this instance noone was bitching.... its hockey shit happens suck it up

[Nalsii]

lol

[captainplanet424]

man i miss parker those were the days

[Coriul]

I am sure they get along just fine. Smyth is a professional, and I am sure that he knows as well as anyone that there was nothing dirty about that hit .. just a bad break for Smyth, and a sign of inexperience on Johnson's part. I am glad Smyth was ok after the hit, and Johnson paid the price later in the game when Lappy thumped him around a bit.

[foxnotch]

they oughta cut those skates off while he's at the hospital.

[blUEpOOL17]

hes prolly glad hes on the kings now so jack cant do it to him again lol

[shbffet]

amen to that

[blUEpOOL17]

HELL YEAH JMFJ!!!

[EchoedEd]

Oh shit. Scary. Unlucky.

[StockyXman]

jack and ryan are teammates now...lol

[jeanjones9154]

Now he's a King pretty funny/.

[reecerj]

How about waving his trade clause to go and play for the team that did that to him? CRAZY that he would be okay going to play with the Kings who have been playing the Avs really dirty the last few seasons.

[itsgaythatyourgay]

lol looks like he just instantly died

[04berlinwood04]

i hate this hit. he almost died like holy shit

[hany259]

he got FUCKED up.

[BigTym3rs10]

yes it comes with ice cream and it is delicious

[lioliok]

Jack Jonhson had no reason to hit him there

[banditontherun1024]

he had the puck; that reason enough. its not johnson's fault that Smyth's head got caught with the plexiglass

[lioliok]

yea I really dunno y dont they put a big foam there

[TGSKX5]

@banditontherun1024 this is true its part of the game.

[jeffrey1101]

that looked like it hurt, but i cant stop laughing every time i hear the boards and his head knock together

[BigTym3rs10]

He dizerft it trader

[brushedred4]

what is dizerft?

sounds delicious really.

does it come with ice cream?

[avsfan7]

[railman107]

[27LeBlanc619]

[tripmmm41290]

peter forsberg too, he's like a foreign soccer player, he falls if someone breathes on him.

[yohomy94]

[nickkipguitar]

[tripmmm41290]

[BeardedDrgn]

[tlav2008]

[1kingsfan41]

[goflames123]

he got layed out holy shit

[takeflight323]

The Avalanche deserved that shit ...before that hit happened .the avs did the same thing to Alexander Frolov ... thats why Blake was defending Johnson later in the game ....

[gasperdn]

actually Blake didn't want Johnson to get hurt by Lappy

[willoffire111]

yeah it was foote who stoped lappy

[bendutta2008]

[nmezmurked]

(i live in edmonton and i love hockey)

[onlymagic7]

the idiot called him jhonson smyth lol!!

and ryan was better on edmonton!!!!!

(i live in edmonton and i love hockey)

[qdizzle71687]

no, johnson is not an asshole....you clearly dont know hockey it was an accident...he was trying to take him off the puck and it happened to be right there where the glass starts, it happens its a mans sport

[familyguy1061]

@qdizzle71687 SHUT UP JACK JOHNSON CAN SUCK MY DICK

[crazycanuck989]

the shot i was talkin about with the frustration was the one in the juniors can vs usa a couple years ago not this hit i think this hit was fine it was just the wrong spot at the wrong time for smitty

[motoYOACH]

God you Canadians still havent gotten over the whole hating Johnson thing yet . I understand hes public enemy #1 there but geez , let it go DONT YA KNOW

[inklinkinklink]

No he isn't. Just to some people.

I like Johnson a lot.

[PlumsonFire]

@motoYOACH i dont find him bad, i hate pajarvii cause he called canadians idiots

[chron729]

take it from a canadian it was a clean hit in a bad spot he didn't hit his head, he hit his shoulder...johnson did nothing wrong and both the kings and the avs suck!

[polyphemus22]

WHAT! He clearly pushed him into that part of the boards where there's no padding & it's an edge. Johnson's an asshole

[crown74]

Do you know how hard it is to time a hit into the boards where you make contact with the body just as the edge of the glass starts? Jack Johnson was skating hard just to catch up to Smyth, yes Johnson intended to hit Smyth but not into the glass the way it happened, just a bad break for Smyth. let me ask you, if this was such a bad hit than how come there was no penalty or suspension to Johnson?

[0oscottyo0]

Totally agree crown74

[tlangefels]

ok sorry for my previous statements i actually

wanted to get a rise out of people, but the whole thing really sucks and i feel super bad for Smyth and wish him a speedy recovery

[boutdcriss]

Johnson Is A Freakin Fag ! To Hit Him In The Back , Oh No What A Gay And Kings Sucks Too !

[99DakRT]

He didnt hit him in the back, watch again. Sucks how bad it turned out but Smyth saw him, just was a bad spot for him to get hit.

[motoYOACH]

legal hit just bad area of the ice for Smyth to be in . no penalty or suspension for Johnson

[Warhog255]

FUCK THE KINGS

[rxmc89]

FUCK YOU!

[Moonwez]

Jealous bastards! Just because the Kings are one of the worst teams in the league doesn't make them any better by taking out two of our good players! Screw them!

[motoYOACH]

players get hurt all the time . as a kings fan i didnt cry when Smyth took out LaBarbara a few months back . if anything it was karma on Smyth besides the hit was legal , no penalty or suspension for Johnson

[willoffire111]

karma my ass he said he was trying to get the puck (johnson) karma my ass

[Woodstock187]

what happened?is he ok?

[shattstar03]

Props to JMFJ!!!!!!

[avaholic69]

Whats is wrong with you people saying yea, Ryan Smith is a verteran and one of the greatest players in the game, it was a terrible hit from a trailing team looking for blood. Jack Johnson is now dead to me, I can only hope he recovers fully and continues to play as well as he does for many years to come. My prayers are with him and his family as well as Svatos too. Come on people don't be so heartless, show some compassion for a great athlete.

[Boris856]

the oilers are idiots for getting rid of symth, he is an outstanding player and the oilers just aren't the same with out him

[rockinrj13]

I know, the entire Oilers franchise has been down the toilet since they traded away everyone. Not that I really care too much, since I'm a Leafs fan.

But still, the Oilers have been a terrible team since trading away Smyth andah crap... Damn I forget his name now but he was traded to the Leafs - Had the highest face off % during that year or something... Either way he was a good player to.

[moikikijr]

That was great hahah!

[stinkstabber]

it aint johnsons fault smyth cant take a hit

[KrymzonGT]

are you serious. he hit his face against glass with minimum padding. lets see you get hit like that.

[Vinniemoore89]

your dumb, johnson pushed him!

His hit had nothing to do with it, the reason he has a concussion is from the impact of the side of the boards

[KrymzonGT]

i know johnson pushed him. i was there. and if there was nothing there... it wouldn't have been so unfortunate.

[Warhog255]

ya so was i

[Joeee980]

stupid kings

[pckerfn13]

I'm a big avs fan and a big ryan smyth fan and I don't think jack johnson meant to hurt him on this check. it sucks that he'll be out for a while come back soon Smitty! Nice job by lappy to defend his teammate, even though it was clean

[KrymzonGT]

yeah smyth and svatos are out indefinately... forsberg might be activated tomorrow.

[pckerfn13]

ya svats is out the whole year, bummer. Forsberg played last night against the canucks so that's good

[natedt82]

not enough padding though very light foam type stuff. clean hit just bad luck.

[EnjoiFLiP412]

It's tought taking a hit where the glass starts after the bench, there is some padding there i think, but that is scary. Clean hit though.

[chiefer33]

Shit happens in hockey, total accident. Stig1871 by insulting oiler fans, were not whimpy, infact, we'd love to tear your fuckin head off for sayin so.

[920pirates]

Johnson did this on purpose his is an idiot

[ty5121]

your an idiot buddy

[cmoney1860]

shut the fuck up assthat was a clean hit couldve happened to anybody. asshole

[kujibo]

Even if Johnson had meant to do this I don't think it's his fault. Players need to be able to bodycheck others off the puck regardless of the location (except boarding). The rink needs to be redesigned to get rid of that turnbuckle. Either have the first pane of glass angle up or gently curve it in or something.

[MadonnasSpareVagina]

unless any of you saying this is cheap have actually played hockey you should shut up. even at Junior B the game moves fast but at the NHL level it's blazing fast, and to think Johnson did this on purpose is just absurd. he intended to just hit Smitty and the timing was just wrong. Edmonton still loves you Smitty, get better!

[vismund9]

this is brutal

[vismund9]

this is brutal

[inklinkinklink]

I think Johnson didn't throw a vicious hit. It's just that both players were going full speed (almost) and the hit just happened to take place at the wrong spot on the glass. Get well soon Smitty!

[ireland7ny]

huge nordiques/Av's fan...clean hit, but have to think Johnson knew where that pole was. Oh well, he's a hockey player, he'll be back in no time, just went night night for a bit

[PavelBure96]

And you are a HUGE FAG!Hockey is the greatest sport ever!

[yesyesGwaR]

your a loser who whines about hockey but watches clips. eat one and go watch your soccer qwer hoolligan.

[Speakerphone69]

at least colorado won that but its like not even a week after he came back from injury and no it was not a cheap chot it was just where he got hit.

[ceresna9]

watch on johnson's movement,timing and! where he looks...

[ptbecks]

Anyone who says rhat is a cheap shot needs to watch it again. Smyth had the puck, Johnson went to make a play. I'm not a fan of either team, just a hockey fan. it's an unfortunate incident but it wasn't a dirty hit. I hope Smyth recovers fully and can play in the playoffs and he's a warrior so he should.

[coldchristhasoulman]

that was not a cheap shot, it was an unfortunate accident, i am a avs fan and i dont think he meant to do it......

[RyanSmythh94]

outsss:(

[ceresna9]

colorado - they are big joke in league... they should beat a hell out of that jackASS johnson. laperriere's attempt was pathetic...

[jeremyshambles]

oh shite, you can actually see this vile fleshy lump on smyth's 4head as he slides on the ice, hockey is tough.

[susdlnskafw]

its true: Johnson is another American prep boy pussy with a big mouth - and he can't fight a lick, unlike Downie (who can fight a little).

It was a cheapshot; he knew the turnbuckle was coming up

[jeanjones9154]

the announcer was like OH BOY!!!

[Aznazi88]

it looked like he was trying to hit him in the direction of the turnbuckle. that was skank dirty

[1I4L3U]

Poor Smyth....I wish we had him back :(

[tlangefels]

clean hit, smyth deserved it

[Stig1871]

how the hell did he deserve it?.. he's one of the leauges top players. you're probably a wimpy edmonton fan, not being able to see smyth play for the avs?.. grow up.

[tlangefels]

Well actually im a wild fan and also a minnesotan where hockey is religion and smyth is the antichrist sooooo yea and who's in first in the northwest? yea thats what i thought

[Sluetherous]

tlangelfels ... urd wish an injury possibly a career ending injury to a player just because he plays for a team that is in the same divison as the team u "cheer" for?? well I hope u feel the same pain sum day!!

[Stig1871]

ehm ok? who kicked wild out of the cup this year?.. FU

[tlangefels]

clean hit, smyth deserved it

[digitalbath1980]

I'm not sure if anyone remembers the World Juniors 2 years ago...I was at the game between the U.S. and Canada in Vancouver, and Jack Johnson was all about the cheap shots there as well. How the NHL even gives assholes like him the time of day is beyond me. He's always been a cheap piece of shit, and he'll always be a cheap piece of shit. I love hits more than anyone but this guy runs people, sucker-punches, and does whatever he can to injure. I hope someone ends his career, and soon.

[crazycanuck989]

johnson made a cheap shot out of frustration in that game, im not giving him excuses but im sure hes learned a few lessons from that cuz he hasnt done anything like it since, this hit here was clean, it was bad luck on smyth steve downey is prolly the biggest prick in the league he tried to say the flying elbow on mccamond was a clean hit

[PocketHercules99]

total ownage!! they gotta fix those turnbuckles

[jackng]

i know its been a year but i still find it weird to see smyth in anything but a oil jersey.

best of luck to smyth, nobody deserves that. wouldnt say thats a dirty hirt though. simply bad timing and location.

go nucks.

[jamied06]

jack johnson is the biggest douche and shouldn't be allowed to play in the nhl for all the things he has done in the past.

[hawkeyejake]

LMAO! Its great you try to talk hockey and fail...

[tennillecrosby]

umm im pretty sure,

i watch hockey all the time.

btw thanks for trying to

tell me i fail.

cause you failed.

[Mahan1681]

He got what he diserves. Everyone forget how he injured LaBarbra.

[averysgirl19]

it's not even that big of a hit. Smith just landed into the edge of the boards...

[tennillecrosby]

its smyth

and yeah his head and shoulder

went into it,

im pretty sure your blind if you htink

its not that bad, his shoulder is probably seperated too.

[averysgirl19]

That hit. I've seen plenty of hits harder than that and the results are no where near as serious. It's the boards that screwed Smyth over. Not Johnson.

[tennillecrosby]

im not saying that his hit was dirty

it was a clean hit, but it hurt him

and he probably seperated his shoulder,

im not saying that it was johnsons fault

even though he checked him.

[xXalvissXx]

he hit his face onto it... and suffered a minor concusion...

[tennillecrosby]

yeah but he also went into

it with his shoulder.

[Ovechkin868Jagr]

the first time i see that i think he was dead :| ...

[aditflames21]

march 3 08?

wtf

[qinsanep]

its really too bad... i wish players would have a bit more aweareness to serious dangers like blindsided hits... or using another player as decoys before they blind side guys hard.. or hit them into the glass corner piece ... theres a lack of respect here in a sense.. legal hit... but not clean.. for obvious reasons

[kampsy69er]

how is that nice. johnson knew what he was doing everyone who has played hockey knows that people try to hit guys into the glass there. he should be suspended for that

[Jeff8394]

too bad ryan smyth is the shit

[ojloaf]

fucking awesome

[ojloaf]

fucking awesome

[Vantage08]

Yeah that's a crazy hit! Def not a dirty hit.

[onestepback]

I always thought they should have them curve in a bit, as to not have it just a sudden start to the glass.

[clintcft]

This is a wicked hit

[marisfan999]

its a cheap shot

[Teknics]

Dam, that's twisted. Pretty obvious the boards are gonna start after the bench, it's a pretty fatal flaw with most rinks. Hope he's all good

[clintcft]

If I were Smyth I'd take legal action against the NHL or whoever designed these boards.
