anyone know how he looks so far in training camp? is he really that bad of a skater?
completely unrelated but just look at this guy!
He's really excited about playing in Buffalo and he seems like a great guy to have in the locker room. As a Scott follower for the last few years, I'm happy he's on the team.Scott isn't the best skater but he knows what he should be doing and tries hard. Good for me for him to know his role too.

I love that the Sabres were his favorite team growing up and he's a bit of a local boy, growing up only a few hours from here, and now he gets to play for them
Few hours? St. Catharines no? Less than an hour away. Maybe wrong I'm thinking of Peters.
I'm not sure if Scott was in St. Catharines or not but I know Peters was.
Wikipedia says Scott was born in St. Catharines but the Sabres roster says he was born in Edmonton.

I'm completely getting those socks and slippers and hitting the early bird dinner special at 4pm. Those things are teeming with widowed GILFs.
Rw: Scott. If the problem is teams running your guys an you need an enforcer, why not get the very best? Still undefeated in the NHL per that site.
He brings something this team sorely has lacked since the heyday of May-Ray.
Head coach Lindy Ruff is well aware of the importance of a guy like Scott in the Buffalo lineup, comparing him to Sabres heavyweights of the past like Larry Playfair and Rob Ray.
“We all know what John is gonna bring. He’s a real character. He’s been great in the room; he’s been great on the bench. He knows what he’s here for, and he can add the toughness that at times may be needed.”
“When you have younger players, it’s an opportunity to provide some cover for them in some tough physical buildings a lot of times,” explains Ruff. “In our case we have some younger players. It should help Marcus Foligno; it should help Pat Kaleta, and it could make Steve Ott an even tougher guy to play against because he’s got some cover behind him.”
“Everyone looks at me to kind of be the protector; the aggressive guy to help out teammates when called upon. They know I’ve got a mentality where I like to do that. I take pride in protecting my teammates, going out there and finishing something if someone is being a pest on the other team.
“I’m not going to be a second or third line guy; I know my role. I’m a fourth line guy. I don’t want to be a liability out there. I want to protect the team, keep the other team honest and play physical. Get in their zone; spend some time in their end, that’s about it.”

Is it just me or does he look like a man-child?
But yah, I'm happy he's here. Even if he just plays his part in MAD, I'd consider him a good signing. A weapon you don't have to fire is still effective.
His presence on the bench had no deterrent effect on Hartnell.

It's hard to judge him after just three shifts, including one in garbage time after the ENG, and no fights/deterrence.
It was nice being able to put him out there after Vanek scored the ENG. Can't say whether something would have happened out of frustration there, but we can say nothing DID happen.
