Every university stream is notorious for "curving a hefty amount."
Lets see how easy it is to complete an engineering degree. Current U of T statistics for engineering:
Enrollment - 4 488
Degrees granted - 962
So easy, bro. All the idiots graduate.

Not sure what scoring goals has to do with what John Scott is paid to do.
If only this comment could help you understand roles.
If anything they curve grades to make it more difficult to pass by grading individuals relative to their peers. Thats why the name of the institution from which you graduate is important as well.

I know what his role is. I'm just saying, his degree doesn't help him on the ice. Which for some reason you seem to think does.

There is a guy in this thread who literally questioned how he could have "crawled out of the primordial soup." And that's a sentiment that's being shared by quite a few, albeit with a bit less hyperbole. It's not just his play on the ice that's being criticized, it's his intelligence and personality.
If you look at the guy without this emotional reaction you might see a guy who has an NHL career as an enforcer-slash-pest. In a preseason game he got one of our top 6 wingers to suspend himself for 10 games, in a regular season game he got our #1 defenseman to take a penalty in the third period of a close game that allowed his team to get back into the game. Mission accomplished, no?
Regarding the Kessel incident he said he was going to go after whoever was lined up with him on that faceoff, had no intention of actually hurting Kessel, and really had no problem with Kessel's retaliatory slashes. Not nearly as stupid as it's made out to be.
Maybe all these people missed the back-and-forth trash talking between him and Kessel on the benches last night. Seemed pretty good-natured on both sides.

Getting a degree doesn't make you smart.... it means you were able to memorize some things when you had to.
Taking into account class bloat, that's probably over a 90% graduation rate. Seems pretty standard.

Truce?
So is that the bar for intelligence now?
You can be an incredibly intelligent person, and still be a moron. There are different types of intelligence, and doing well in school =/= being more intelligent then someone else.
Many people have tried to express this viewpoint to you in a non-confrontational way and rather then exhibiting a well thought out rebuttal, you turn to insults.
John Scott may be an incredibly intelligent person when it comes to academics. But in terms of his previous play and post game comments against the Leafs, yeah, he has acted like a moron.
Your sarcastic and ignorant responses is a fair demonstration of very low social intelligence on your own part.

He got himself kicked out of last night's game, which the Leafs went on to win. What you don't seem to understand is that we won where it matters: on the scoreboard. Mission accomplished indeed.
He told Kessel he was going to go after him. How you can claim to say Scott's intentions were the opposite is funny. He's plenty stupid, you just like to play devil's advocate because it's the "cool" thing to do.
Revisionist history much? Scott was doing all the talking. Kessel paid him no mind like a true professional, unlike the knuckle-dragging goon across the bench.
I'd like to know, are you a Sabres fan?

90% graduation rate isn't standard in any field of study
Why is it that you feel like you know what you're talking about?

He got a himself a 10 minute misconduct, and so did McLaren and Orr. Though McLaren didn't actually do anything, they just felt like keeping the goons out of the rest of the game. The Leafs went on to win but it was Scott's agitating that allowed them back into the game in the third and took our #1 defenseman off the ice for two minute. How does the end result change that?
Buffalo beat us the previous night, does that mean McLaren and Orr are "knuckle-draggers" that shouldn't be in the league? They have the same role.

Must've not memorized enough stuff to know better
Deciding that people you've never met are of very low social intelligence is a fair demonstration of very low social intelligence, is it not?
That's his MO.... He wanted no part of Scott and was relieved to be able to cross-check a smaller guy in his "retaliation". I wish he would show the same kind of emotion when a team-mate needed help.
What exactly do you need to have memorized to know when you don't know something?
I guess memorization and repetition are overrated. It's not like they help you get better at anything. It's not like you need to know, like, stuff.
Phaneuf and the rest of the Leafs certainly don't, but nobody? This thread suggests otherwise doesn't it?
Because the Leafs won the game ffs. Your hard-on for Scott's actions which he ended up getting punished for doesn't change that in anyway shape or form. Considering McLaren and Orr do their talking on the ice, comparing them to Scott is stupid.
Again, are you a Sabres fan?
He helps his team mates by playing to the best of his abilities night in and night out. And I find it hilarious that you don't think he sticks up for his team mates in a physical manner.
