In response to "After a fan uproar, the NHL has announced that John Scott will be a captain at the NHL all-star game -- (link)" by Beaker

Nice. I still wonder about the trade.

That will affect him going forward, which sucks. What was the motivation behind the trade - was it in the works or did the voting contribute to it.

Don Cherry went off on the whole thing Saturday Night. He blames the voters for screwing Scott and getting him demoted (and he isn't wrong) -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:27 15
- That's absurd. "If you vote for this puppy in the Cutest Kitten contest, we'll have to kill the puppy." - Mop Jan 19, 09:30 14
  - Oh no, the sacred trust of the NHL All Star game, in its 4th format based on a gimmick! -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 09:38
  - he explained it better! -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:37
  - Mop, meet Don Cherry. -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 09:35 1
    - I don't take issue with Don Cherry's universal wrongness. But Beaker..? -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:37
  - the voters, from what I understand, voted him in as a joke. - groiny Jan 19, 09:32 9
    - I love it the "game" is a joke to begin with. I may actually watch for the first time in years. -- nm - ajrimmer Jan 19, 09:43 7
      - the 3 on 3 aspect will be fun and the fact they are playing for real money makes it double fun. -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:45 3
        
        and now you have a career hack being one of the 3 players on the ice. - groiny Jan 19, 09:49 2
        
        till he grabs someone and beats their ass! -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:52 1
        
        it is gonna be a live real version of Happy Gilmour. -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 09:54
      - well, putting a hack in there to get decimated by talented players is probably not the best idea. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 09:45 2
        
        Its going to be a glorious trainwreck -- nm* - ajrimmer Jan 19, 09:51 1
        
        sure, next year they can put the NHL players vs the Grammar School All Star team. -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 09:55
    - Oh, no doubt. It was akin to a Howard Stern prank... at first. But it eventually became an underdog story. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:37
