Please NHL players. Listen to Ryan Smyth. His post game comments are so important and so sincere. If they would all listen to this man..

Ryan Smyth is as old-school a player as can exist in 2014. All grit, all grind, and all Canada.

Tough seeing Ryan Smyth cry on the bench. What a career. I have a soft spot for heart-and-soul players who won't say no to their country.

I'm not even an Oilers fan but watching Ryan Smyth's last moments on the ice made me a tad misty.
— Ashton Faulkner (@originalfaulks) April 13, 2025
I wish I could jump through my tv and give Ryan Smyth a big hug. Watching him hug his family was the most touching moment of all. #94Forever
— Erin Mandin (@Alienne_M) April 13, 2025
Canuck leadership shows there. Someone with a letter makes that call, and it looks real, real good on the entire organization.

Such a class act Ryan smyth. I wish you the best in whatever comes next! #Beauty!

Last period for Ryan Smyth. His kids stop him for a hug on his way out. It's really going to get emotional in here now.

With Ryan Smyth's NHL career at an end, his mullet will be relocated to a preserve where it can graze and be put out to stud.

I remember one of my first hockey games when I was a youngin and Ryan Smyth tossed me a puck during warm up. Can't deal.

When I have children, I will regale them with stories about Ryan Smyth, just like my Dad with Bobby Baun. What an absolute class act.

It's a true testament to both Ryan Smyth's & Selanne's careers that they are receiving praise from so many fanbases other than their own.
