And so it goes.....


One period into Ryan Smyth's first game of his post-Oiler career, he has already assisted on a Mike Sillinger goal for the Islanders.

Odd how Ryan Smyth, one of the few players to stay on the team that drafted him for 12 seasons, teams up with Mike Sillinger, who has played for 12 different teams in his career for his non-Oiler NHL point.

The Islanders traded for a player who was almost considered "an Oiler for life" (until this season) and kept perennial trade-day headline Sillinger.

You aren't old enough to remember the hockey-player iron-ons from the 60s with outsized heads on caricature bodies, but your illustration was pretty close. Anybody from Kellogg's reading this post? Bring those things back. Very cool.

The picture came (stolen) right off the Islanders' web site roster page.
Check it out, it's funny.
