I don't think so - I don't think most fans even knew who John Scott was before they voted - they just saw it as a yuk to make a mockery of the NHL's own bush league stupidity in allowing them to choose anyone they want. They could have chosen Homer Simpson and done the same thing (dunno - maybe they had to pick from a list though).
The blame falls squarely on the nimrods at the NHL head office - and if anyone is laughing at anyone, it should be us, at them.
As always, trying to cover something up doesn't tend to work too well.
