Fans chose him for one and only one reason and that was to mock the event. They took advantage of the league leaving the selection process open for fans to pick players they believe were deserving of all star status. Nobody voting truly believed Scott was deserving. He didn't belong there on merit alone. Explain to me this "great human piece story" because all I see Scott as was a tool that fans (I use that term lightly as I don't understand why a fan of the league would like to stick it to them) used to mock the event. He actually went along with it which made things worse as it's like he didn't' understand he was part of the joke and he was selected only because he wasn't good at hockey and not because he was good at it.
