Given that it’s difficult to return to a place we’ve never been, the chances for common sense to make a comeback grow dimmer.
A Puncher’s Chance: He had two ways to go. He could be known for doing the right, common sense thing, or choose a legacy for being the punch line to a bad joke. And John Scott, 33-year-old designated brawler/winger who has five goals, but 542 penalty minutes in parts of eight NHL seasons, has chosen the latter.
As an interactive activity among wise guys with laptops and little else to do, the online voting for this year’s NHL All-Stars was vandalized; Scott was the top vote-getter, thus he was chosen to be both an All-Star and an All-Star captain.
