But he was just an allstar.

Lets vote him into the All star game!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be hilarious to vote a retired player into the ASG!!!!!!

 

[weastern bias]

Thread will be meme, but John Scott is a genuinely nice, smart, and funny guy who was a much smarter player than he'll ever be given credit for

Have a great post-playing life John

But he was just an allstar.

Its nice to see a guy go out when he's still on top of his game and before his skills start to erode.

 

[Soundgarden]

It's nice to see him get his time in the sun, good for him.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

He was my favourite part of the ASG last year. Glad he got to do something like that before he retired.

 

[Beville]

Retired an All-Star, can't complain.

But people still read msn.com? I thought that went out years ago...

First player to retire as an All Star since Gretzky

 

[The Kingslayer]

John should get a 30 for 30 short atleast.

The hall of fame awaits him

Dany Heatley leaves the NHL and John Scott retires. Things aren't like they used to be.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Fully expect to see him behind the NBC desk soon.

 

[Son Goku]

Expecting him to get a good job inside. He's a hyper intelligent man, well spoken, and genuine. Wishing him the best in retirement!

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

John is a real smart person on and off the ice and I respect how much he loves the game. I wish him luck.

 

[Syrinx]

Great for him. What an experience he had last year.

I never realized that he got paid to play hockey for 15 years.

Thanks for crushing Shawn Thorton's face and attacking Phil Kessel. It's not what Buffalo asked for but it's what Buffalo needed.

I honestly really liked him, as a player, when he was on the Sharks. He wasn't anywhere near as bad as most people made him out to be. Obviously he's not Pavel Bure in the skating department nor was he going to challenge for a Rocket, but he banged bodies, helped push the puck around on the cycle, and his size helped him clog lanes in the d-zone. He was an average to good fourth liner, and he was a great personality to boot.

I hated how so many people made fun of him and hated on him, but it's looking like he's getting the last laugh in the end. I'm looking forward to seeing him on TV.

 

[JT Kreider]

Last year's ASG was the most entertaining of any ASG I've ever watched and he definitely had a huge role in making it an overwhelming success. Good luck to him in the next stage of life.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

That snipe though

 

[SladeWilson23]

Happy retirement John!

 

[Oakstream]

Loved him as a Sabre. Loved him as an allstar last year. Good luck in retirement John!

 

[Poochie_D]

You know, people have joked and will continue to joke but this guy got to do what millions of people around the world only dream of doing. He made it and carved out a career in the NHL. I'm sure his family is damn proud of him and they should be.

 

[TrillMike]

His Players Tribune article last year made me do a 180 on the guy.
