I heard that a few years ago, Bettman himself called the Lighting, and he was like "Dude. That goaltender you have there, he's better than Luongo! Hell, he could be the best goaltender the league has ever seen! We can't let you play him; I mean, a southern team going 82-0? That's just bad for the league. We'd bring back the Jets before we let you play him every game."
Bettman <3 God bless him looking out for the rest of the league. Smith has a legitimate shot at breaking Brodeurs shutout record in a single 82 game season.
They really ought to send him to Phoenix. He would pack the building with his amazing play. He'd also make all the women there pregnant, creating an entire new generation of hockey fans. He can turn hockey into the most popular game in THE WORLD. If only every other team in the league were not so afraid of him.
Wow , you guys are soooooooo funny hahahaha , I love checking this comedy thread... Oh wait , this an NHL thread. Still this is the greatest bit of comedy I have ever seen in my life ! It's so funny I think you guys should have a sitcom where the both of you make jokes about Mike Smith ! It would be called two guys and a Mike Smith joke... Greatest jokes ever ! :bowdown:
