He had his moments with us. Will always remember him for head-faking Kadri during that one game after a scrum.

I’ll always remember him for scoring a PPG against Winnipeg. This was when Maclean rewarded him and his line PP minutes cause of how effective they were. I think it was against Winnipeg.

 

[Sens With Benefits]

His first goal was a sick snipe on Price.

Underrated fighter too super tough guy.



I also met him outside of Liqour Store back in the day. Super humble and nice dude. I really liked him with the Sens. He also scored 25 goals one year lol.

He also ended Fleury's tenure in Pittsburgh.

This was the last time Fleury played for Pittsburgh:

 

[Dionysus]

Was at a bar where Zack, Corey Conacher, and Pageau were having drinks after a playoff game once.

I went to buy a beer, but had just missed last call. Zack was sharper than myself and had grabbed a few beers, he noticed I couldn't get one so he gave me one of his.

He played hard and physical while bringing some skill. The kind of player any team would love to have. Hope he enjoys retirement!

 

[Tuna99]

Love Zach. He’d fit this team really well. His run with Stone was amazing.

Pearl Jam fan so you know he’s a good guy. Still so young, hope he sticks with the team, only hear good things about him.

well done!

Mendes' piece on The Athletic this morning was such a great tribute to Smitty. Really just hammered home what a good dude he was and, by all accounts, continues to be. Wish him nothing but the best in retirement. If he's ever in Ottawa I'd be among the first offering to buy him a beer.

He is a good dude. I met him twice. And i did buy him a beer.

And that’s just one of the reasons Domi is considered a dink

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Good player and even better person.

Couldn't ask anything more of the kid. Enjoy your retirement.

 

[Tuna99]

Zach Smith has at least scored a goal in the playoffs.

 

[BondraTime]

Absolute warrior on the ice, and seems like the best kind of guy off the ice.

He’s earned whatever he gets in retirement, all the best to a real hockey player.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Can't believe this guy scored 25 goals for us, lol.

Loved him when he was on.

 

[aragorn]

Exactly the kind of player Ottawa needed, loved watching Zack Simth, wish him nothing but the best for a great guy.

Pretty sure that fight with Horton happened about two days before he signed a contract extension with the Sens. Pretty obvious that B Murray liked the toughness that he brought.

Me and my friends were at crazy horse and dziurzinski wanted to get the boys and bring them back to our place. Dziurzinski goes all excited to Smith to ask if they should come with us. Smith looks at him all disappointed and shaking his head. "No we're not going with them" hahaha oh well.

 

[Icelevel]

Was good for a while. Then absolute shit for a while. Maybe due to injuries who knows.
Thanks for the good times mr smith

 

[ATdaisuki]

Good luck in retirement. He was a warrior for us. One of my favourite bottom six players from that era. He and Condra were my boys.

I saw Zack Smith at a grocery store in Ottawa once. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Caramilks in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Smitty was a real one. All the best to him in retirement

Lol this is one of those stories that seems so weird it must be true.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Really fell apart for him at the end in Ottawa, but he seemed like a solid guy from the outside.

9th all time in games played for the Senators. Enjoy your retirement!
