I came around on John Scott.
I certainly wasn’t a fan when the Sharks signed him as a free agent in 2014, preferring then as I do now that the Sharks stay away from signing enforcers. But after his appearance on “Holiday Sweater” and learning of his self-owning fashion sense, it was hard not to like him by the time his tenure in San Jose ended, even if I wasn’t a fan of the pugilism.
It became even harder after his crowd-pleasing turn as the All-Star game’s MVP last year.
