From
where I sit it looks like another case of head-hunting in hockey...
And,
yet again it involved a player who has only one purpose in the game.
To be a goon. John Scott's best year for scoring was with the NAHL's
Chicago Freeze (US Junior), he had 12 points. That was the 2001-02
season. Scott hasn't cracked double digits since. At any
level. He's never played a full season in pro hockey.
This is the type of player the game does not need. We could
be talking about Ryan Miller dropping to 1-6 or Milan Lucic's 3 point
night, instead the focus is on with some troglodyte on skates. Don't
get me wrong. I like fighting. I think it has a place in hockey. I
agree the game needs policemen...but they need to be able to actually play the game. Picture a cop who can
do nothing but shoot his gun. Can't solve crimes. Can't chase
criminals. Can't engage the public. Just shoot. That's not a
policeman. That's a moron with a weapon. John Scott can't play
hockey. He's not a policeman. He's a moron with a weapon.
At
least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
