The best part is...it was only late because he skates slower than Jason Allison on crutches and his thought process is even slower.

lol I still remember (I think it was Jim Hughson) describing Jason Allison's shootout attempt as "he approaches the net at the speed of bread." lol I hate that guy but damn that was funny.

The entire sabres blog looks like that....... he didn't elbow him and didn't hit him in the head.

And garth says it's a full blown hit to the head and that scott should get 5-10 games.


WTF IS GOING ON HERE THIS MORNING????

WOW!!

EDIT: Some sabre fan posted a different angle attempting to show how clean it was and it seems the elbow was down (moreso that the other angle), but it's still late and a clear head shot.

EDIT:

Weeee, I can play the picture game too! Don't let an angle fool you or anything...

Point of contact


What your image is, oh ye of purity, shows "aftermath" and follow through. Elbow was in the chest.

Not excusing the hit, just pointing out the inaccuracy that will be run with by who knows how many people who will see an image like you posted and just "know" it's right.

EDIT: Blah, my image-posting sucks, but clicking on it will give a bigger version to see more clearly

Oh crap........ well if he gets 10 games, which I doubt, he'll still be back for the 2nd game of the back to back with the Leafs.

Would have loved to see Chara go after that big idiot

I think most of them realize that Scott is just a big pile of poop at this point.

(not garth, though)

You'd think so.

Terrible song....

Kessel needs to put on his plaid shirt and go finish cutting down that tree posing as a hockey player named Scott.

mornin' everyone

Morning.

Scott will get 10 games and Clarkson will get an apology from the league.

After watching Scott hit, thinking Kessel going Paul Bunyan on the Sabres goon makes a little more sense.

Morning.

Scott will get 10 games and Clarkson will get an apology from the league.

i dont know if he will get ten.. 5 probably.. he does have the no suspension history thing going for him

I think it will be on the higher end because it's John Scott. Useless player on a useless team and a chance to at least make it look like they're trying to send a message.

You are prolly right, I just thought because Clarkson got 10 for standing up to this guy, the league would make things right. Stone him at center ice before the next game.. Seems fair.

Hey Boston that's called Karma. You remember when your goon ran the superstar goalie then laughed about it afterwords joking that he out weighed him by 60 pounds? Hope you lose your guy for extended period of time then we will call it even.

dont they need an independent moderator for anything over 5 games now tho?

Clarkson's suspension wasnt decided tho. leaving the bench is an immediate 10 game suspension and has been since the 70s

therein lies the difference, someone will determine Scott's suspension, Clarkson's was straight out of the rule book.

Better yet why didn't he go after Lucic..

Same reason he did not go after Orr or McLaren. He pick Big Phil.

Or why didnt he try going after somebody his own size.... like CHARA
