He won't be missed that's for sure.

What happened to him?

Collision along the boards and sustained some type of wrist injury. A laceration from a skate blade.

Scott is in for Bickell.

Bieksa on #Hawks' Scott: "When a guy 6-8 challenges you that can't skate? Usually you say no and then go around him and score."

I hate Bieksa. I hate him even more when he is completely accurate. Which he is here. That is exactly how you deal with Scott.

Actually BIEKSA... when ANYONE challenges you and you drop the gloves you get your fucking teeth knocked out you dumbshit. Go **** yourself, you can't score anyways.



Since when is he the expert on scoring?

Stu just got a chubby.

I hope Bieksa is on the receiving end of a Scott murder attempt on the boards. Countless times John Scott has pulled up on big hits (I know RK has noticed it too... he probably doesn't want to be a victim of his size and get a penalty)... this is the playoffs, he's not pulling up from ANY hits tonight.



Look for Scott to have a big game.

Scott, who will play in his first postseason game with the Blackhawks, has the job the team has struggled to do in the first two games: get in front of Vancouver goaltender Roberto Luongo and stay there.



“I’ve got a big body so hopefully I can get in front of the net and not let (Luongo) see many pucks,” the 6-foot-8 Scott said. “I’m not going to play big minutes but anytime I am in, I’m going to get in front. I came (to Chicago) to be in the playoffs. I’ve been watching two games pretty close. I know what’s going on.”



Scott is certainly no stranger to the Canucks, who he played plenty during his Minnesota Wild years. The Canucks have been very physical to start both games and Scott could help in that department.



“I’ve been hitting Bolley in practice trying to get him ready,” Scott joked. “Seriously, it would be nice to hit someone else at full speed.”

WOOOOOO!!!!



Although that speed may not exactly be considered "speed"... I hope he blows a few people up.

I hope he kills him.

Hey Bieksa, when did you become the expert on fighting or scoring? You rarely do either and you suck at both. #Blackhawks #NHL #Canucks

 

[Pez68]

I just hope he runs him right though the glass and into the tenth row. Maybe land Bieska on top of RK so he can get a few shots in too.

Stu, this will sound ridiculous coming from me, but I think Scott in the lineup will help tonight. There I said it. Watching the Habs win, and Kings Sharks, we need to start playing a different style. I think he will help that cause.



And I called a Ben Smith Gordie Howe Hat Trick last game and all I got was 2 goals?!?! Step it up Ben.

Here's to my 21st Bday being the biggest win of the year, cause I won't remember it.

 

[Ashor-redtribe]

Something tells me that Scott finds his game today( fighting ) and one goal. I totally agree with Ton, that the Nucks only respect them because they are up by two. Because why weren't they saying that last year and the year before when clearly we had the better team. They are a bunch of liars. Lets see if we tie this up or even win the serious if they live up to that statement.



GO HAWKS GO HAWKS!!!!!! just win baby! EYE OF THE TIGER BABY!!!!

John Scott is being presented with a unique opportunity he has never had and probably will never have again... and that's to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.



All too often during the regular season (with the little ice time he saw) he let up on blasting someone through the glass. Whether that was because he didn't want to hurt someone or maybe get a penalty because he's so big... no one knows.



The playoffs are different and I expect him to be very noticeable on the ice tonight and look for him to lay a few devastating hits and HOPEFULLY goad someone into a fight (not likely, not expecting it). His sheer size in front of the net could be very useful even though he won't be poking in any loose pucks. Will be interesting to see if anyone tries to get in a scrum with him in the crease.



Maybe he'll even get a goal............. lol now we're dreaming.
