Ryan Smyth Looks Like an '80s Henchman

Dog-bath-clothes_medium

My brother thinks Ryan Smyth looks like the violinist Dana dates from Ghostbusters:

2683-7175_medium

An excellent comparison (and I'm impressed by the obscurity), but I think Smyth looks a little bit more like Sully from Commando:

Sully really encapsulates the shittiness of Ryan Smyth, even if he doesn't look as much like him.  Alternatively, Smyth looks like pretty much everyone in Road House.  Or, one of the surfer bad guys from the Hollywood classic Three Ninjas.  Or, Point Break.  If you'll notice, all of these movies are from the '80s except for Three Ninjas, which, let's face it, feels like an '80s movie.  Ryan Smyth sucks.

Jesus Christ No Update:

I realized this morning while I was in the shower that getting Ryan Smyth will probably be the reason the Kings let go of Alex Frolov.  Then I wept like Ace Ventura when he found out Einhorn was a man.  Don't go, Fro.

Ah, Commando. I remember getting loaded with my friends and watching this scene over and over again.

There’s just something hilarious about how obviously fake the body is when it is released from the plane.

I don’t think they’re going to let Frolly go. My feeling is that instead of buying the ferrari and paying big money (trading Frolov, Johnson, 1st Rounder) Dean Lombardi settled for the slightly battered used car with a bad paint job that he got for real cheap.

If everyone is taking turns picking obscure 80's-movies Ryan Smyth look alikes...

Here’s my entry…

Fucking great work. That would make for a very distracting goalie screen.

Ha! Is that Neverending Story?

by Nut on Jul 9, 2009 9:32 AM PDT up reply actions  

Very close, Nut. But try to think of the 80’s movie that Jim Henson did which did not have Fozzie the Bear or David Bowie in it and you’ll get the answer…

Ah. Thanks IMDB! I never saw Dark Crystal or Labyrinth. Neverending Story was my lone weird puppet movie.

My favorite person in that movie is Sir Didymus.

Sully looks more like Gretzky to me than Smyth.

I’d love to join the party of giving 80’s movie look-alikes, but since I was born in ‘90, I can’t. Only movie that comes to mind is Ferris Bueller.

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier. You suck at hockey... and life.

Welcome aboard, and glad you enjoyed it. Added your site to the sidebar, which probably will get some real attention later this summer.

As you all know The Ducks blue line is suffering pretty badly.  Wiz being banished to the Islanders really doesn't help much.  What I'm about to suggest is crazy, probably not legal, and absolutely absurd.  But desperate times call for desperate measures.   

That is a picture of my girlfriend's dog, Mia.  And the holder of that hockey stick is me.  Every once in awhile I'll practice stick handling in my kitchen with a small tennis ball.  The other day, this interested Mia and she sort of made a game out of it.  I try to stick handle around her and she trys to get the ball.  At first this was no challenge to me, but then the little bastard started getting really good.  So, here's my solution:  

The Ducks sign Mia to a 3 year entry level contract.  She can't stick handle, check, pass, shoot, has no concept of what team she's on, and has pretty shitty cardio.  But from a team that once employed the likes of Ryan Whitney and Steve Eminger, this is all easily forgivable.  On the up side, she'll never take a penalty....  Unless they add biting or pissing on the ice to the NHL rule book.  She's relentless....  Unless the opponents all bring bacon which they use as a distraction.
