There’s no evidence that “Lucky Bill Scott” has ever been lucky enough to win anything.
Not a 50-50. Not a Grey Cup pool. Not a lucky number program draw. Not a door prize. Not a raffle. Not a gift basket. Not movie tickets. Not even a free roll-up-the-rim-to-win donut.
He’s the guy the Edmonton Oilers have sent to Toronto Saturday to win Connor McDavid?
“I can’t remember ever winning anything like that,” said the assistant general manager of the Oilers who G.M. Craig MacTavish dubbed “Lucky Bill Scott” and issued the assignment to go get McDavid before MacTavish took a plane to Switzerland to scout the IIHF U-18 World Championship.
