I never thought I would, but I really do like having John Scott on this team. I think he's been a serviceable 4th liner, and has provided a lot of entertainment already.

Apparently Perry hitting Niemi than slashing Braun and dropping his gloves was a "mutual" fight.

I'd legitimately rather have Scott than Brown. Brown's speed gives him the illusion of being slightly useful but he's really really not.
I would prefer Brown Scott and Desjardins with Burish going bye bye. But, wuteva.

His fists literally knocked Jackman to the ice...twice.
Not so tough when not fighting skinny non-fighers, eh Jackie.
Used to be Clowe's personal punching bag with La/Nyi/Cal

They'd have a legit beef if it was Scott going after Etem but Burish and Cogs? Couple of lightweights.

I was kind of expecting them to take runs at rookies but that didn't happen surprisingly.
I agree but the NHL sees it different. He needs to at least make it look like he is going on the ice to join the play. He didn't and went straight to Jackman. Hey, I don't like Jackman and hate how he picks his spots. Scott did what he had to do. What I am saying is that he may be in trouble for it being crystal clear what his intentions were that shift. He stepped on the ice and went straight to Jackman. The NHL hates that. I bet the NHL makes a statement with him.

I still would rather not have a player that gets benched most of the 3rd.
As sad as it is burish has been okay. Winning d zone faceoffs and just clogging up lanes. If we can improve on him we should but a Scott-desi-brown line is terrifyingly bad.

I disagree. He should not worry about the supplemental discipline. Scott made his statement and the team benefited from it. Him getting suspended only helps the team anyway so they don't really lose anything if they do suspend him. With something like this, it's likely 2 or 3 games at most because it's not the leaving the bench automatic 10 game that they normally do.
Should be 8 penalties for this exact rule here. All 8 went onto the ice to fight one another, no "hockey plays" happened.
It's a super slippery slope. Unlike the Clarkson or Goddard plays where they came onto the ice when a fight was occurring.
I'm really not upset, but it just seems like SJ gets all these marginal suspensions for not really doing the letter of the law. Just like Torres hitting Stoll in the shoulder.

All teams be forewarned we are planning a McDavid and or Eichel draft party contribute by pushing our guys they seem to like it when it gets a little rough.

Well that's what he gets for throwing when a guy is jersey'd. **** those cans.
You shouldn't disagree because I LOVED what he did. The Sharks gain much more from what he did than if he didn't do it. He did what needed to be done. Message sent, message delivered. Scott isn't in SJ to win the Norris, he is there to win space for the star players. IF a small suspension is delivered, Brown will fill in fine short term. Long term, opponents will know that they have to answer to Scott if they run around. Good on Scott.
The Ducks are a soft team. Their fans can bring up how many cups they've won compared to the Sharks, but it won't change the scoreboard.
Off to Colorado.

Oh crap. That is what I get for working so much OT in prep for a long Florida trip. My team is Edmonton, but I always keep track of teams with former Soo Greyhound players like Joe Thornton (or Spaz as he was known here). That said, more is gained from Scott than lost, regardless of suspension or not. Me thinks the NHL has more of an issue with skilled players targeted like they were tonight. Blue collar wins championships. I think the teal turned a shade blue tonight.
