Neither is actually true, however. It takes some knowledge of the NHL that Scott is a terrible hockey player and he is the joke candidate. These are not 1 million new fans voting for the guy and his appearance in the ASG has nothing to do with attracting new fans.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
