NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- John Scott has taken a shot at the NHL.
Fans voted the 6-foot-8, 260-pound enforcer into the All-Star Game, which is being played Sunday.
Scott writes in a story posted Thursday by The Players Tribune that he got a call from the NHL, trying to talk him out of participating in the showcase event.
According to Scott, someone with the NHL asked him: "Do you think this is something your kids would be proud of?"
Scott writes that moment strengthened his decision to play in a 3-on-3 format with some of the best hockey players in the world.
