The NHL consulted the only expert they had to explain this John Scott situation.

I think it's irrelevant. If the fans decide to gang up and vote for some scrub near the end of his career, I think we're within our "rights" to do so under the existing rules set by the league.Originally posted by Slap Shot View PostComment

Nice dodge. Is it lame to vote for him or not? fyi I think the NHL should have let him play given that's the process.Comment

OK, you got me. No, it is not lame to vote for John Scott, nor any other 4th line scrub, when the rules do not restrict such votes.Originally posted by Slap Shot View PostComment

Yes, it is lame. Within the rules, but lame. Vote for guys who legitimately deserve to be called "All Stars."Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View PostComment

It might be lame if the ASG actually counted for something. Anything. Like if the league adopted the MLB model of having the winner earn home ice for the Eastern or Western conference team in the Stanley Cup Finals.
As it is, screw it.Comment

Not looking for a fight, but I think it's a great troll and the NHL would have been better served to just roll with it coz moving forward, they're asking for more of the same. I didn't vote for Scott this year, but I might for whomever the scrub of the year is next time.
I have no respect for the NHL ASG, so don't really care if their boring joke of an exhibition was made a mockery of.
They're trying to protect the integrity of a game that has no integrity.
Seriously... who cares?
It's unwatchable.Comment

Re: NHL 2015, Part 3: Stanley Cup and Offseason
This all could have been handled quite adroitly and with tact. Present Scott an honorary captaincy/fan appreciation award of some kind, hell, even let him play a shift. Let him bow out of the game and put in Max Domi or one of the other Coyotes who have been tearing it up this year, maybe donate his share of the bonus to charity, we all have a chuckle and recognize a hard-working decent guy (if not the greatest player ever,) everyone goes home happy and with their dignity intact.
The NHL chose to screw it up completely.Last edited by Twitch Boy; 01-17-2016, 01:11 AM.Michigan Tech Huskies Pep Band: There's No Use Trying To Talk. No Human Sound Can Stand Up To This. Loud Enough To Knock You Down.Comment

Vote for the guys who then skip the game anyways? Just sayin'.Originally posted by goldy_331 View Post
Scott wants to be there, he knows it was a troll, but still wants to be there. Let him have his moment.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: NHL 2015, Part 3: Stanley Cup and Offseason
It's mainly for the people who say "vote for the 'real' all-star players" instead of Scott. Well, too many of the "real" AS's skip out, so what's wrong with voting for a guy who actually wants to be there?Originally posted by Slap Shot View PostNever really developed a taste for tequila.
