Agreed. But watching Scott try to play actual hockey that last two games has been really funny. I know it has been said time and time again about him not being able to skate, but it is bad.

Scott is the worst hockey player in the league, when he joined the Rangers I couldn't believe how awful he was. he lasted about 3 games before Torts scratched him & he never played again the rest of that season.

One spot on our team for an enforcer isnt making our team the way it is. if we were winning and scoring goals. That one spot wouldnt be an issue.if i were you leaf fans id worry about your all gangsta team jumping on one guys back. thats considered wussy to me.

Where we're all the tough talking Laffs fans when the last place team in the league pasted them the game before? Reminded me of the last 10 minutes of game 7 last year...your team is going to disappoint you again this year...mentally weak. Sabres fans have no illusions this year...we know they suck, don't bother calling.

This article should have stopped at "Scott Reacts to Phaneuf"...who cares..it's John Scott...he's a thug who can't even skate...Why would anyone care what John Scott says??

Without someone like scott on our team.teams like the laffs would be beating up ennis and flynn.

Ok say if any team with a winning record needed some toughness and decided they wanted scott. would that make them the worst team in the league all of a sudden? i dont think so. i know you laffs fans will say noone wants him. just trying to make a point.

The fact is, if it was Scott instead if Phaneuf who crosschecked say Colton Orr from behind, then had Patrick Kaleta instead of Colton Orr jump over then back of an already engaged Colton Orr, then had McCormick drag down McLaren from behind who was trying to stick up for his teammate everyone in the NHL would piss and moan about the sabres being a team full of goons.

Listen, Dion Phaneuf has been nothing more than a diaper wearing sissy, taking shots at opportune times with our scrappy guys while not even batting an eye to go after guys like Ennis and Gerbe in the past. Dude is a meathead when he is the bigger man and a turtler when a guy is close to his size. Princess Phaneuf is an accurate description by John Scott.

Could not have said it better myself . I just watched that clip again . Everything in it proved what a bunch of chicken Sh!t pieces of crap the Laffs are . First the Princess cross checks McCormick , Then the thug tried to jump him from behind and got clowned . Then Thug #2 jumped Scott from behind . Come on Laff fans I tried to watch again too see if our players instigated anything . I am really trying to be objective here . Try watching with out Leaf colored glasses on !

I don't understand why Buffalo feels the need to stick up for these players? He has ONE goal in his career. If it weren't for his size he wouldn't even make my beer league. Don't even start about the Leaf enforcers because I would agree a couple of them are useless too. With that being said I think next time Frazer Mclaren should go after Ehrhoff or Myers and call him a chicken when he doesn't fight. I mean what's the difference between them and Phaneuf?
- Babalu88

Maybe Mclaren and Orr should first just try to pick a fight with someone 1 on 1 and not while their back is turned or they're already engaged with someone else.....unless the leafs are OK with that brand of hockey?

Whatever. Even the Laffs know he's a princess.
- TheSabresTaco

If he's a princess, then Scott is a maid in waiting! He didn't want to dance with Orr because he would have been penetrated! Seriously, he's the worst hockey player since Paul Higgins. The fact that he's on the Sabre roster tells you all you need to know about the Sabres. Our Princess plays more in a week than VaScottgina plays in a year.

And why did Phaneuf cross check McCormick anyways?

Because he is a princess . Remember the Phaneuf motos

He who hits and runs away lives to hit another day!

and

Never hit anyone unless they are smaller than you and you can absolutely get away with it!

You can't knock his thinking , it has worked for him up till now

No one here claims Scott is the next Gretzky . The only reason we have to have him around is to protect our kids from the cheap shot artists on the Leafs and Bruins. People that live in glass house should not throw stones!

Pretty sad of you to compare Scott hockey skills to Phaneuf. Everyone and their grandmother knows Scott is not an NHL caliber player. Does not change the fact that Phaneuf is a princess. Why did he go after McCormick? Why did he not go to the bench if his leg was hurting. I don't blame him for staying away from Scott, so he should of got off the ice after the whistle. He saw his protection was on the ice and felt brave.

5-16-1. How's Grigorenko? The fact that this thread is all arguing about fighting and the tough guys and how buffalos tough guys are better than Torontos tough guys is sad. Who cares? I liked Ott and Clarksons fight any day over a stupid goon fight. Those two play lots of hard minutes for there teams every night and battle. Ott was looking to spark his team. It would mean more to me as a player to see Ott or Clarkson go fight and show he wants to do anything to win compared to Orr, Scott going and fighting like everyone expects them too.

Everyone and their Grandmother....except Regier, Ruff, and Rolston for not getting rid of him. AT least they demoted Kaleta, hopefully Nolan will know to do the same with what's his name. He doesn't even win his fights!! AT least get someone who wins a fight!

How many fights has Scott lost in his career according your records . All I can find is one . And I consider that one close against your thug Orr . I will take Scott in the rematch due to reach advantage .

Right now he is being a good team player and listening to Coach Nolan's new standard of no staged fights. Being highly educated from a great School , He actually understands english .

We just need someone to protect our kids from cheap shot artists on the Leafs and Bruins . He also great in the dressing room and a great team mate.

You really should be worrying about the Career path of your superstar in the making Mr Kadri. Even the great hockey prophet Cherry bashed his actions on HNIC last night .

So you're saying Leaf fans don't know their team sucks? Your team is 30th. The Leafs are comfortably in a playoff spot.

When scott hits Erikkson he's the biggest scum in the world. All the Leaf players do a 180 once he does his antics to the Leafs.

Got to hand it to leaf fans ragging on the rebuilding Sabres when you have been in rebuild mode for years. And you are not done yet. The leafs were outplayed and out worked by the sabres last night. Sorry since 67 you haven't won a thing. And since the sabres joined the league in 70 they have been arguably more successful.
And Dion P is a coward and you talk about Scott.

It was actually a good hockey hit , half a second late and due to his size he did hit Erikkson in the head . He got suspended - first time in his career and was humble in Serving it . Unlike the unbridled goonery that seems to be happening more and more in the Leaf camp . Stay Classy Toronto !

The difference is . That was our plan ! We want one of those high draft picks we have not had forever ! What is the Leafs excuse for the last 20 years !

Maybe we will not draft the same Basic player 3 years in a row . We will draft to build a team . Edmonton is still very young as well . Not defending them at all . But they could still turn it around with a real Goalie and defense.
