He didn't slash him, he hacked him with the stick. Buddy needs 20 games. Plus he speared him near the end of the melee.

Leafs had last change. It was Carlyle that put out his skill line as the answer. Blame him for not paying attention.

ya he covered that post game, you piece of Scott

Really? 20 Games? Let's make it 25 just for fun..

Scott wasn't on him when Kessel speared him... it was a cowardly act and should be dealt with harshly.
- riceroni

get a clue.

Clarkson being suspended sucks for you guys, but I'd take him doing it for the Sharks if that was Couture. Solid character.

Says the 1 fan and only fan who showed up to floridas preseason game?

So lets say that Scott did get a hold of Kessel. What would whiny Millers comments be after Colton Orr or Fraizer McLaren got to go with Thomas Vanek?
- Ben37

Still could happen. Their skill guys aren't off the hook and they're probably not big fans of John Scott right now.

163 seems reasonable

I anticipate this being a reoccurring theme with Buffalo this year. They can't keep up with us so they resort to trying to fight our star players. Luckily we'll have Orr and Mclaren in the lineup next time
- Sheppy99

I actually thought the Buffalo kids demonstrated a lot of skill. They had a whole bunch of 18 and 19 year olds dressed tonight.

Also thought Tyler Myers was best player on the ice.

The pay back Orr and McLearn hand them the next time the 2 meet is gonna be fun...

You keep harping on Kessel, do you not see the douche bag move by Scott worse?


- sloppyseconds2

Oh, I agree that Scott is a Dbag and should not go after a star. I think fighting should be out of the league. There really is little value to it. But, Kessel was stupid for spearing... can't really defend that.

I have no problem with Kessel chopping at Scott's legs though... he had the right to flee him... but coming back after Scott was tied up is a b1tch move.

20? jesus (frank).

I agree the hacks were bad, but I'd give him the rest of the preseason off. That's it.

It was a jerk move, but not any more than Scott going after him in the first place... I'd guess he'll get a talking to, and maybe 1 or 2 games. I don't think they suspend for the pre-season, so it would likely take place at the start of the regular season.

What the (frank) happened?

It looked like Clarkson started laughing as he was holding Scott back

He put them out there to defuse the situation, but Scott's a moron, so it is what it is.
