J...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.

Darn right you're dreaming.....Scott in the lineup is the sign of a team grasping at straws.....



EDIT: I would LOVE to be proven wrong....but I don't believe I will be...

NO it's not. He's in the line up because Kopecky and Bickell are injured.

"I've beat up a couple of their guys," Scott said Sunday morning after practice. "I think it's in the back of their heads, hopefully. If I can get someone to go [Sunday night] I'll be happy to be oblige."

"Quenneville hinted to it to me [Saturday]," Scott said. "I was jacked up as soon as he told me. I couldn't sleep [Saturday night]."

Nobody is going to go with him... hope he doesn't take an extra penalty.

I disagree.. Sure those guys are injured.. .but there are alternatives to playing Scott.. The only effect he'll have on the game is the increased # of times we are short handed.

Why would anyone on Vancouver fight him? They are up in the series 2-0..and could all but eliminate us with a win tonight. If we are going to focus on fighting and running their players ..this game will be a blowout.

With 2 minutes or less average ice time.

How many rookies with NO NHL experience do you want in there?



Playing on the 4th line he's not hurt us at ALL this year. In ANY game.



I'm not a huge Scott fan either. I feel he gives us very little. I do believe he adds more than Pisani thats for sure.



He'll also be on the 2nd PP unit tonight standing in front of Lou...

Doesn't that one AHLer have 200 games... and I think he can actually skate..





One advantage our 4th line had was it seemed to be a bit quicker then Vancouvers.... now its not. And the last thing we need going into this situation is a Special person who can't skate hoping to fight a canuck player.

That's awesome... our 2nd PP unit hasn't even been able to enter the zone.. should be a great!

 

[Cornflake]

record with Scott from what I saw is 19-17-4, my math has been wrong before.



Let's get it done today. In a way I'm glad we're not playing the canucks in the later rounds, the Canadian media hasn't got into the hype machine as previous years...so I haven't been mocked too much so far this playoffs.

 

[R K]

With 2 minutes or less average ice time.

About 6-7 so far in 40 games. Some of that was at D until they figured out he can't play defense.



Again on the 4th line he has yet to hurt this team this year. I don't get the hate.

Maybe you shouldn't watch the game.... Might be better for your health.

He hasn't played since March for a reason.

Brutal.

Yea, Q is an idiot. Maybe he'll keep Frolik, who's not a Center, Centering the 2nd line again.



There are far more "GLARING" things to call out than John Scott playing. But carry on I'm off to the game!



If they lose again you can blame it all on the slug 4th liner than can't skate.



<edit> even the wife who's probably been to more hockey games than most on this board, and I quote, "Bickell, Pisani, Scott, who gives a ****".....

 

[mikita's helmet]

Until we lose at home, we at least get to the 7th game where anything can happen.

 

[the canadian dream]

Just fucking win!!!



Injuries, injuries, injuries. It was the #1 concern going into this series and it still is....and it just gets worse.



FIND A WAY TO WIN!!!!

 

[mikita's helmet]

Whats your win/loss record with Scott in the lineup this year?

I thought the Hawks were your team.

 

[Chaps]

I thought the Hawks were your team.

They are... ..ah well **** it.. put Scott with Toews/Kane and we'll win 4 straight!
