I wonder how players of similar ilk feel about being part of a Stanley Cup winning team? I would feel a little sheepish lifting the cup knowing I contributed next to nothing to the championship. Hard to say you're a legit Cup champion.
I think of it sort of like John Scott as an all star. Of course its not the same as a top guy, but he still worked just as hard to get to that position, trained every day with the team, practiced, etc. Those guys definitely push roster players to never take a day off, so I think he's very deserving of the "champion" title.
