Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

Goodnight, Sweet Prince

What he lacked in skill, he made up for in heart and stupid faces. May we never forget.

My favorite is the intro video where he tries to look all fierce

and ends up looking constipated.

That last one was great!

I’m putting here for reflection later on in the season…. #14 Tomas [Fleischmann] is getting a 40G season. FLASH COUNT: 19G/25A

That one with Trotz...

Really looks like he’s so sick of seeing that weird Smithson face. Like he’ thinking: “Oh damnit, I’m next to Smithson, I’m going to be in that meme.”

i was going to say

that one should be a caption of the week contest photo

Or the one with toots

Hope he finds a good home in Florida. At least he will reunite with some familiar faces.

Movember will never be the same without his John Waters 'stache.

Maybe he will inspire the Panthers to ditch the Reems ’staches and grow some Waters instead…

I love the one when he's celebrating with Leggy.

He looks so thrilled!

"He looks just like our paperboy"

First time we saw him live. Would not have made every NHL roster, but he made ours. Very “Gamey” hockey player.

Can’t wait for your first visit back to Bridgestone.

See you later, Mad Eye! Enjoyed watching you play. Good luck!

Understandable but difficult just the same...

Wow! Smitty was the quintessential Predator. He was what this team is all about. I understand that we need to move on as players get older and new players come in but can I take just a few moments…

Thanks Smitty!!!!

We will miss you buddy

I wish him all the best in Florida with all the other ex-preds :]

I <3 you

I can’t believe he’s gone….best of luck to you Smithers!

by Tim P on Feb 25, 2012 2:56 AM EST reply actions  

My heart dropped when I read this earlier today

I know all of the reasons, but he has always been on of my favorite Predators throughout the past few years. I’m going to miss him, and I wish him well in Florida.

Whenever I want to see his face, I’ll turn on an old PS2 hockey game and look at pretty much any player. (Joke between my brother and I that he has the quintessential Nintendo Hockey face)

Thank you for heart and given it all youve had Smitt..

Not that I am an old man but I feel like I watched you grow up man…lol.. But sadly at the end of the day the business has to take over.

But hey man check it out..It aint all bad, now you’ll get to get some color on your skin and a rock star convertible and a place at the beach!!!… oh yehhh!!!!..How cool is that!!…There will be beaches and pools everywhere AND that means tons of bikini chicks all over town!!…You’ll be killing it!!..Soon it’ll make you think, eh who wants the old snow anyway eh, you know??!!..lol…

Be safe in your travels mate!.. Thanks for the years and for your work ethic, efforts an helping hands grooming some of the younger dudes.For given it all you’ve got. .. Cheers Big Man!!

And in the background behind Pekka....

is Mr. Jerred!

Loved him while he was here and gave his all for the team. No reason to expect anything different for the Panthers. Good luck in Florida, Smithers, and help those cats go deep in the playoffs, too!

by OddManRush on Feb 25, 2012 7:34 AM EST up reply actions  

Oh cool!

I always thought Leggy was kinda rude based on the two times I ran into him, said hi, and got nothing but an annoyed glance back, but he must be different to everyone else. Good to know. Mike and Pekka don’t surprise me at all, for some reason.

Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
