JOHN SCOTT, JOHN SCOTT, JOHN SCOTT!
Buffalo Sabres tough guy John Scott dominates Thursday’s edition of Marek vs. Wyshynski after his head shot on Boston Bruins forward Loui Eriksson.
We weigh in on the hit and also on fighting in hockey because for some reason Scott’s hit resurfaces the most popular debate in hockey. Scott’s teammate Patrick Kaleta’s 10-game suspension is upheld, which brings the NHLPA’s protection of players to the helm.
We keep with fighting when former Red Wings goalie and analyst Chris Osgood joins for a chat about his sit-down interview with Avalanche coach Patrick Roy and the Senators spanking the Red Wings in Daniel Alfredsson’s first game against his former team.
In actual on-ice news, rookie defencemen Morgan Rielly and Olli Maatta are sticking with the Leafs and Penguins respectively.
