It has the potential to be a very awkward, very embarrassing and...potentially, very fun, story for the NHL. It is now looking very possible, very likely even if it continues to be a kind of cause celebre on the absurdity of the Internet, that seldom-used, 33-year-old Arizona Coyotes forward John Scott will play in the NHL's All-Star Game next month in Nashville.
Will the NHL actually allow Scott to captain a three-on-three team and let the whole world watch him try to keep up with the likes of Alex Ovechkin and Patrick Kane and other top skill players as part of a marquee event?
