sharks should pay him a bonus for the games missed. i have no issue with the 'play'.

I like what he has done so far honestly, but this is still addition by subtraction.

All Scott had to do was skate toward the puck before going after Jackman and he wouldn't have gotten suspended.

That's true, but honestly I felt like the Ducks players did the exact same thing multiple times in that game, they just decided to attack someone mid-shift instead of while they were on the bench. It's not splitting hairs, so much so there is a specific provision against it in the rules, but it still looks like a duck (no pun intended).

So did Scott knock out Jackman twice? The Camera angle was pretty poor.

I'll take the 2 games. He did his job. I didn't watch the entire game - was watching the Giants game - but the Ducks acted like cowards going after our non-fighters.

Awaiting on a press release from DW.

Quick Wilson bring in Doherty convert him to forward and tell him to watch Scott highlights and emulate to save our season.

Didn't Clowe get two games for this a few years back? At least they're being consistent for once.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Bummer. I was hoping he'd get the ten.

 

[The Ice Hockey Dude]

I like Scott more and more after this.

Not quite consistent unless I recall incorrectly Clowe was not a repeat offender.

If I heard correctly Scott admitted that he didn't try and play the puck and maybe they went easy on him because it was obvious the Ducks were gooning it up.

 

[Gilligans Island]

Bummer. I was hoping he'd get the ten.

Why? Ducks were clearly being cheap, going after our players. Games like this are exactly why I'm glad Scott's in there.

He'll play his 20 games and this is why he's here.

Yeah usually honesty is the best policy. He knows why he's employed. Look at the Duck's bench reaction after Jackman jumped Vlasic and TMac put Scott on the ice. They were whining about it to the refs.

Exactly why I hope Perry gets his ass beat some day. Same with Getzlaf. Bunch of tough guys.

Perry purposely started that fight with Braun to get kicked out and not see Scott on the ice.

That's how I was calling it last night

Funny how he does it right after his talk with Scott on the bench.

He knew Scott wasn't going to get any pp time so he took his shot while on the pk.

I doubt Scott would have done anything different than what he did last night, but Perry bailed anyway.

Would save the WorSharks season too...

Yeah, Scott would've been a fool to go after Perry, but I'd like to think that Perry didn't know that

It looks like Player Safety blew the call on suspending Scott.

1- Clearly Jackman takes his gloves off first to start the altercation.
2- Rule 70.2 does not require the player to skate towards the puck which is unreasonable. Players cover opposing players. Who does Player Safety expect Scott to cover, the fastest Duck or the slowest?

If you notice in the video review of their suspension, they never mention that Jackman threw down his stick and gloves first. Shanahan always pointed out anything that would be inconsistent with his ruling and why he did not consider it.

Can we at least get him to do his limited duties correctly?

Scott admitted to leaving the bench to start an altercation. That kind of defeats your argument right there.

Apparently not...

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Good, now we can get back to rolling four lines. Freakin DW man, I still can't believe that signing.
