I will also add that a guy like Jarome Iginla has almost twice as many fights as Scott does, but Iginla is hailed as a hero and a superstar. Yes, Iggy potted his fair share of goals, but looking back at HockeyFights you see how many of his fights were staged in the same way Scotts were. They would drop the mitts, take off their helmets, and square off.
A lot of people have taken extremes in regards to Scott at the ASG. It baffles me. Why get offended?

What's further baffling is most people admit they could care less about the All-Star game and most admit to not watching it, but most will p*ss and moan about the selections year after year. Yes I know JS is the extreme on that, but what is his inclusion taking away? The "integrity" of a game that's been broken for years? A spot from a star player who may not even want to be there (you see more and more players finding ways to avoid the game altogether, willing to be suspended to so).
John Scott added some emotion and excitement to the game this year. It was the most fun the game has been in YEARS. That's all this game is suppose to be. FUN. It's outcome is meaningless. Scott was hurting no one by being there.
