newfy 695 Report post Posted October 18, 2010 The other night Smith got in his first pro hockey fight with an AHL goon, Tommy Maxwell, the guy had 25 fights last year. No one got an instigator so Smith must have fought willingly. Does anyone have access to the video or did anyone see the fight live? If so, how did hee do? 1 wings1110 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted October 18, 2010 Yeah, I'm curious too. A thread on this was started in the Grand Rapids Forum here on LGW's. No one's really chimed in with any info though. http://www.letsgowings.com/forums/index.php/topic/67048-smith-fight/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted October 18, 2010 Hehe, you don't ever talk about anything else do you? Hey, you leave newfy alone. He has legit concerns. There's nothing wrong with wondering about Smith's toughness or, for that matter, how physical Riley Sheehan is. Also, for the record, Smith leads the Griffins with 2G 2A in 4 games. Although he's a -1. Actually, the entire team is either even or minus except Tatar who is +2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted October 18, 2010 Also, for the record, Smith leads the Griffins with 2G 2A in 4 games. Although he's a -1. But how many penalty minutes does he have? And what's his fight card like? I'm just funnin'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newfy 695 Report post Posted October 18, 2010 But how many penalty minutes does he have? And what's his fight card like? I'm just funnin'. The thing is, if I wanna know how a guy is doing offensively I can look at his stats. I already knew Smith was lighting it up but if a guy is fighting, its no good if hes fighting like Janik against Mcleod haha. This is pretty much an unknown for Smith. He had a goon like season in the OPJHL then went to school where he was knwon to throw big hits. Sounds like he could be a tough player. Smith is already an exciting prospect but if he can fight then he'll be a hero in town in no time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted October 20, 2010 you can here smith talk about the fight in this video around the 2:50 mark Hmm to me it sounds like its something he doesn't mind doing if hes picked up pointers from his brother who fights in pro lax. He's already lighting the lamp so maybe he'll be our next Fischer or something that can dish out punishment as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted October 20, 2010 I never really used to rate this kid, but he's making me into a believer. Keep it up Smith. Hopefully he can put up 40+ points this season and maybe even an All-Star appearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the long run be excited for him because so far he's been doing really well but he won't get games next year. maybe the year after. ps whats this guy been doing? Surprised he hasn't fought yet this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
