Ryan Smyth and the Jacket...

The Jacket One
The Infamous Jacket


Great game last night at the rink. Oilers versus the San Jose Sharks. A lot of talent on the ice. Johnathon Cheechoo got a natural hat trick in the first, and then in the third Ryan Smyth of the Oilers got a natural Hat Trick also to win the game. He scored three goals in 2:01, besting a record by number 99. Gretz took 2:18 to do it. Just a very exciting game.

To explain the jacket that he is wearing, well, I can't. No one would tell me the story behind the jacket. In fact, Ethan Moreau told me that he would have to kill me if he told me. It is a team secret. Ryan came out of the room just like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. Strutting.

Matt Greene, who had a fight in the second that rallied the team to the victory, would not tell me even after I volunteered to let him speed bag me for fight practice. Matt Greene would kill me, but I would take one for the team just to find out the story behind the jacket.

Oh well, I have to cover the Esks today so this is a short one. If you happen to know the story behind the jacket let me know, it is driving me crazy.

Have a great weekend.
