I am happy that Scott took Jackman out of the game twice. Better Scott fight him than Desi, Burish, Burns or anyone else.

While it sucks that Scott was suspended, and rightfully so, he fulfilled his role for the team and I applaud him for that.
Well its a brand new era in the NHL. If you couldn't tell from that game, fighting is being phased out. As Scott said "those who know hockey know there is a place for fighting" well that was only true because it was allowed to have a place and that time has passed. In my opinion its about time. This of course makes acquiring Scott even more foolish.

The best part about this is during the phone interview Scott basically said....Yea I did it...**** that guy.

Krieder did the EXACT same thing against Columbus and got nothing. Suspension is a joke.
Scott HAS been "good" for us this year. I like having him. (so far)

The Sharks haven't gotten the benefit of anything marginal since Wilson publically complained about Torres suspension on the Stoll hit.
Not like it really matters. Chances are they were going to bench Scott for these two games anyway. I think he may have gotten in for the Avs for Cody McLeod but Desi can take care of him if he gets out of line.
The reality is Scott would have been suspened in any other sport. It was a joke that in the past Scott wouldn't have been suspended for what he did. Utterly ridicoulous and indefensible.
Well I can forsee a status quo where the NHL will not allow him to do much of anything. Those days are gone. Self policing is being replaced by actual policing.

Utterly ridiculous is a guy punching a non-fighter 4-5 times when he hasn't even dropped his stick and the offender not having to pay the price.
I would have been pissed if Scott didn't pound that tool. If the refs actually policed the game properly, they would have given Jackman a 10-min misconduct since there was a shade under 10 minutes left when he started punching Vlasic.
He was given a double minor/4 minute penalty for that which lead to a goal. The refs didn't allow the Ducks to effectively muddy the waters and kept them offbalanced throughout all of the game.
The price in this context is not a penalty. The price in this context is something physical to pay him back for what he's doing to his teammate. I'm not a fan of guys like Scott and believe his use is becoming closer to extinct than people care to admit but the idea of his purpose has merit but it needs to be incorporated within the group of guys that can actually play the game of hockey.

John Scott on Tim Jackman: "I think it’s kind of gutless to go after a guy like [Vlasic] when you’re a tough guy.” #SJSharks

The Sharks scoring put the game further out of hand and upset the Ducks even further.
Scott is here to deter cheapshots on star players. The look of fear in Jackman's eyes as Scott skated towards him and the punch to the mouth he took will make him think twice about going at players like Vlasic again.

He shouldn't. Here is that Krieder play I mentioned. Look at him come right off the bench at 4 seconds and jump Skille (a non fighter)
any difference?
