From SI.com and found via Off Wing Opinion comes this story about Ryan Smyth getting a call from The Boss.
Ryan Smyth already has received one phone call that could go a long way to keeping him on Long Island beyond this spring.
Smyth, the most shocking player moved Tuesday before the NHL trade deadline, had only been in New York a few hours when Hall of Famer Mike Bossy called to welcome the former Edmonton Oilers star to the Islanders.
“I thought that was pretty flattering and pretty cool,” Smyth said Thursday, hours before his first game with his new team.
