[A] Hawks Downed in Toews' Return: CHI 2, PHX 3 OT

[Mach29]

LOL!

Only a complete fucking meatball buys any of that John Scott crap.



Shit, the Rangers anticipated a lot of fights in their game yesterday, and where was Scott?



The pressbox.



Save your "I just watched "Slapshot" for the hundredth time" dumbass analysis for the dumb fucks at the HF Boards.

And exactly why did the Hawks have Scott on the payroll??? To save JT's head but the timing was a bit off.



No, if you had a brain the size of Scott's you would have figured out: 'WHY DOES THIS GUY GET PAID BY ANYONE". Unfortunately 'experts' like you who probably will never earn what Scott makes in a year in their lifetime have it figured that they know more than the owners of the Blackhawks or the Rangers . How do you reason that one out?



That goes for your LOL buddy there too.

 

[the canadian dream]

Bollig has proven to be a better option that Scott anyways At least Bollig has a nasty release on his shot.

Please stop sounding like a dumbass.



John Scott has never in his entire career prevented an injury to a player.



Kruger and Toews were both concussed with Scott on the roster.



Why does he continue to find work? Because there are those in the NHL that are just as dumb as you.

 

[Mach29]

Owners of hockey teams are as "dumb" as me???? Sorry but I'll take that as a compliment.



Get a grip, you billy.

 

[Variable]

You really shouldn't take that as a compliment. Hockey is full of dumb.

Subjective thinking at best; I really don't want to get into a urinating match BUT there's a lot of 'experts' who appear ready to debate petty arguments.



Bottom line: look at the source.



End of subject.

 

[Variable]

Hockey isn't John Scott's game anymore. Or anyone like him. Things change. I know there's an extremely vocal contingent of hockey fans that will shout that down every chance they get, but they're wrong.

Subjective? I think Jim pretty much proved his point, followed up by Rex's tiny tid bit. I suppose if Scott was able to skate backwards you might have a point. But since he can't, you don't. I liked Scott for what he brought to the locker room. That said, this team has missed him ZERO on the ice.



Again LOL! Keep on truckin!

you and me both, I loved John Scott because he was such a character guy. Both me and my Fiancee were mad when he was traded. That being said, Bollig is a major upgrade.

 

[R K]

Not to mention they got a 5th round draft pick for a player who has a hard time skating backwards. Wasn't Shaw a 5th round draft pick?



Maybe I'm confused. If Scott was "that" much of a deterant he'd have been in the line up yesterday. Guess Torts don't know what he's doing either.

 

[Mach29]

You sound confused, along with disoriented and incoherant - symptoms of a potential head butt.



Don't know who Jim is so that statement means nothing to me. Saying because Scott "can't skate backwards" therefore I'm wrong is childish, sort of like LOL. Try to pull it together, man.

The worst is that when you post a rebuttal, the other person should reply to that rebuttal.



I made the point about John Scott not being dressed in game two of the Rangers/Sens series as evidence that John Scott's value as a deterrant is nothing but a myth. If Torts wasn't going to play him in THAT game, where everyone with a functioning cerebellum knew there would be fisticuffs, then he obviously believed what everyone else believed: John Scott, while a great character guy, is pretty much useless as a hockey player.



Mach29 has yet to answer to this.



It's impossible to hold a discussion in a discussion forum when the discussion isn't being discussed.

That dumbass can't even figure out your name is puck "JIM". The collective IQ level of this board is going down, down, down.... Goes right along with the guy that ony posts about how bad the goal tending is. Wonder if that idiot is watching the Pens/Flyers series....



I too pointed out Scott wasn't dressed for the GAME where the "deterrant" was most needed.

If I'm confused your a complete dumb ass. So I suppose I could be confused. I'll pull it together when you find a tall fucking building and jump.

Sadly most expect him in the lineup tonight... that game might go the way of the Pens/Flyers yesterday.

The sad part is you know I was a John Scott fan. Unfortunately he doesn't add much to the game other than fighting, and thats ASSUMING anyone will actually fight with him. That doesn't deter much IMO.

You kind of answered yourself there: if nobody wil fight him that establishes he intimidates his potential opponent therefore he served a purpose. Deterrent isn''t my word, it's your pal Puckjim's. And that's why he picks up a half million a year. Not your thinking but someone else with more authority, brains and money's thinking. HOW DO YOU NOT GET THAT?



I liked John Scott for his bench presence and was disapointed to see him go. For whatever reason, my argument here is not so much for having goons around but having the ammunition to settle players like Doan and Thornton, both of whom I've watched lean on JT. I'm not sure he can look after himself in today's head hitting, elbowing, 'get him while he's down' game environment. I recognize the game has changed but I'm not sure it's proved to be better - a lot of concussions over the past while.



As as you are concerned: you and those you side with lower yourself to cheap chirps like "dumb ass", "jump off a building" and "meatball" when you've run out of amminition. You appear to have taken a stand to counter anything I say, and I'm fine with that if you start the thing but you can't help yourself from jumping in just when things are kind of settled. Too late in doesn't work in any sport, but I doubt that you have ever played a sport.



I'm sure you would prefer that I just go away and you keep on being "the boss" of the Monday morning quarter backs, but sorry pal, I won't. I paid for my season ticket and I'm staying. No building jumping for me. And it's easy to call names out from behind a computer screen but that's how people like you and your "groupies" (kind of an overstatement) operate.



In retrospect, you're kind of the John Scott of this forum: some whiner gets intimidated and shuts up and who comes along? None other than Kaner's beer drinking buddy who likes smelling sweaty underwear, or something.



Have a nice week.

 

[R K]

oh appears another poster with an agenda. By the last comment alone we know he's not knew to the forums. Never a surprise.



Puckjim = Whiner... ROTFL! He might be a lot of things and even a whiner, but he answered your question twice. And you still never responded. Yes, you are a dumb ass.



Mach 29 now goes the way of Variable.

That's saying you believe that there weren't as many concussions in the past. There just weren't any protocols in place as there have been in the last year or so. That's why you're hearing more and more about them. It's not a sudden increase. You honestly think there were less? No. It's always been a problem. You think there was less concussions when they didn't have to play with helmets? They were either ignored, undiagnosed or both. Nobody cared enough to make a big deal about it. GMs, players, the media, were talking about how weak players were for wearing helmets for ****'s sake. It took somebody dying because he didn't wear a helmet to finally stave off that ignorance.



Same thing with concussions, everyone knows Lindros story, how he was criticized. Well, who was right in that one? The NHL has always been a step behind, has always been slow to change as better understandings of the game begin to come around. The John Scotts of the NHL do not have a place in the game anymore.
