I actually found it interesting. Especially the Ron Maclean stuff, how cherry didn't want him, and Cherrys wife rose.

The fact that Mitch Albom is all over this project with the writing and exec producer makes me think *possible* hit. People love a feel good story.

Scott injured Eriksson in 2013 with a pretty vicious hit. Scott was suspended 7 games.

Ya, I get that. What does that have to do with you telling Jiri to avoid fighting subjects?

It wasn't fighting, it was a dirty cheapshot to the head.

They're a subsidiary of Mandalay Entertainment, so yes, they've made tons of movies.

It isn't too much of an intuitive leap. Scott fights, therefore Scott is a goon. Goons (read: fighting) has no place in hockey. Therefore Scott has no place in hockey.

I fail to see the connection. Lots of players fight without headhunting.

Jiri hates anything fighting related. I'm not sure how much more I can spell this out.

Wow, I get it. The Eriksson hit had zero to do with fighting. There is no connection with fighting in hockey and a dirty head shot. That's like saying Jiri shouldn't comment on Scott's headshots because Scott is really tall and Jiri clearly doesn't like tall people.

Moving on...

I actually hope Liev isn't cast as Scott. He's already Ross Rhea. Not 100% sure who should, but I really hope Liev doesn't.

It looks like Mandalay Sports Media mostly makes sports related documentaries for cable networks (ESPN, HBO, NFL Network) or online distribution (Vice, Yahoo, XBox Entertainment): http://www.imdb.com/company/co0376114/?ref_=fn_co_co_6

If this does see the light of day, it will likely be something like an ESPN 30 for 30 or similar. Sportsnet might show it during the All Star break next year.

What poor actors will be cast as all the guys he gave dirty head shots and concussions too?
Why anyone wants to glorify this clown is beyond me....

I can't wait for the sequel about Denis Wideman and his wrongful changes of assaulting an official because he was concussed and how the team has been treated unfairly and refs have taken over games.

Who will play Kessel (from the stick swinging fiasco last year)? Zach Galifianakis? Jonah Hill? Jack Black?

Vince Vaughn as Scott.




Geoffrey Arend (the Snozzberries guy from Super troopers) as Johnny G.



Bettman - maybe Wallace Shawn ("John Scott an AllStar? Inconceivable.")
