GLENDALE, ARIZONA - John Scott's name was trending among the top 10 on Twitter in the United States late Friday afternoon, but just like always in the whole sordid mess that surrounded his being voted into the NHL's upcoming All-Star Game, for all the wrong reasons.
It's not a tragedy what happened to John Scott, who was traded from the Arizona Coyotes to the Montreal Canadiens on Friday. He's a grown man who has made a nice living as a fringe NHL player the last eight years, who has a degree in engineering from Michigan Techl to fall back on, a wife, and who, by all projections, will be a father soon to two healthy twin babies.
