Re: TGDT: 10/16 Sabres @ Blackhawks 7:30 CSN

Ahhh the deterrence factor of John Scott.
I agree with you guys that it's not going to be a blood bath line brawl event. But I think if Rivet or Stafford or even Turtle comes over and challenges Hammer, he should just drop the gloves, take his licks and end the whole incident.
There won't be any problems unless he refuses to go with someone (if anyone even challenges him).[/quote]
I don't think anything will happen either.
I am sure everyone here and on the ice remembers the Burtuzzi incident. That Moore kid a few weeks before that game was doing some trash talking and acting like a jackass. The next game, he was challenged and answered the bell like he should have. The problem was, for the rest of the game, he was getting run, and challenged more times. That was ridiculous. Then Burt acted like a moron and did what he did.
I don't think Hammer is in the same situation as Moore, as he wasn't acting like a dick. I wasn't there, so I dunno, he coulda been jawing. Nothing on the scale of Moore though. The Sabres have been doing more shit talking then the Hawks, and if it is anything like last season, they will let the score tell the sabres who's better. Yes the Hawks have some fellas that will drop the gloves. Scott, Bickell, Dowell, even Hammer will, however, the Hawks need to be smarter and let the Sabres talk shit as they fly by them and put the biscuit in the basket.
