Where's the footage of Smith breaking Kent Nilsson's leg for crowding his crease?
The league was SO much better when the players--including goalies--could police and defend themselves without fear of giving up 7 minute power plays or being suspended.
But what else would you expect from a sport which is now run by a career basketball man?
Pretty cool. I like the last figure with Tiger Williams. I remember reading a quote of Williams' a while ago about Smith and his chop to the calf of Williams. Funny to see an actual figure depicting this story! I hated Smith growing up as a North Stars fan and losing the Cup Finals to the Isles in '81, but I sure admire him now--aalong with Nystrom, Bossy, Potvin and Trottier. I moved from Minnesota to Long Island in '81 right after the Finals, and GOD was NY crazy for the Isles! Cheers!
And it was the Colorado Rockies, not the Avalanche. The Avalanche were still called the Quebec Nordiques at the time. THe Rockies went on to become the Devils.
he First NHL goalie to be credited with a goal was Billy Smith of the New York Islanders, he didn't score it in any way though, he was simply the last player on the opposing team to touch the puck. The goal was technically scored by a guy from the Colorado Avalanche who messed up a pass with an empty net.
I had to watch this one again, I just got my season Isles tickets and can't wait for opening night at the old barn. LETS GO ISLANDERS!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHH!!!
PERFECT song for Billy Smith!! Which McFarlane figure did you use to do the Billy Smith model?

Is Billy Smith the goalie who would tape his butt end so big that he would hit players coming infront of him?

Those Islander teams of early 80's would have made short work of the Burins and Canuks of today.

Awesome!!! Very creative my friend. Even had all of Smitty's acrobatic saves down pat. Smitty was my all-time favorite goalie. Thanks for the video.
