Whats this from? Facebook?

McClure is right.

The John Scott All Star game campaign was always too-clever-by-half from a sect of self-labeled hockey progressives thinking they were being cute, funny, ironic or any number of numerous annoying adjectives. And what just happened in Nashville shows that the fans of this league get the exact Mickey Mouse operation they deserve with how ridiculous it all became.

. . .

As a 6’8″ tabula rasa, John Scott became all things to all people this weekend, with the amount of fan projection on what they wanted him to be at an all time high. Somehow all at the same time John Scott became emblematic of a farcically run league, a dying breed of hockey player, a post-modern idol for a deluded and self-congratulatory fandom, a vessel for physical vengeance, and somehow a sympathetic figure because someone at his job said something mean to him. From personal experience, I’ve had a boss threaten to kill me and mock how little he was paying me in front of co-workers, and nearly every other working human being on earth has had the same experience of having a boss say something shitty to them. But because John Scott plays a game wherein he gets to injure people not all that reluctantly, his profanity laced screed that he didn’t write himself somehow brings people to tears. Vomit.

I mean, he only arrived at this righteous indignation because the guy stood next to Patrick Kane, but all this:



is true. John Scott sucks, he's always sucked, and I see nothing admirable about making him the butt of a stupid joke, inconveniencing him and his family, and then talking about what a great guy he is getting a raw deal from the NHL. He was voted in because he's not a great guy, he's a big goon who serves no purpose but to hurt people and can barely even stay in the league doing so.

If fans wanted to make a farce of the All-Star Game by voting for a well-liked bum, the NHL has no shortage of those guys. They could have voted Michal Rozsival in if that's what they wanted. This was just another tired-ass attack on fighting by people who think they're better than everyone else, quickly refashioned into some feel-good bullshit about "making dreams come true." I don't buy a bit of it.

Maybe Stink will have finally had enough and won't blog about hockey anymore so he can concentrate on his women's suffrage campaign.

Look, John Scott is one of the last of a dying breed. We know it, he knows it. He was brought into the league for one purpose; one role - a role which is now pretty much extinct. Yes, he has had a couple of assbag moments on the ice in the last few years, and has apologized for them and was suspended.
Sorry, but as technically undeserving as Scott was to get in, he nonetheless did in accordance with the voting parameters, and there's no reason to blame him. He showed up and was entertaining, and even showed a bit of skill (imagine that...). The fans enjoyed it, the players (mostly) enjoyed it, and HE enjoyed it. A happy ending that won't be repeated next year or any year thereafter.
