That's just John Scott not burning bridges. I bet he shares all our opinions that Bettman is a shitstain.

Of course he also seems like a genuinely nice guy, so maybe he means it!

I wouldn't though.

V: Therrien now thinks he has too much skill and not enough grit.


Moving along from the "John Scott :3:" chat, does anyone know where the 2015-2016 NHL Toxx thread is. I'm trying to work out how much money I'm up for. I think it is going to be lots but I can't remember.

Awww gently caress, looks like a banme thread.

Carey Price is the only thing I got going for me, and it's looking highly likely he's going to come back to a team that doesn't know how to play hockey.

Well, I found a flaw in your logic for your bingo card, which prevents you from getting banned from it. You have both "Habs miss playoffs" and "Habs get swept out of playoffs" on there. Those both cannot happen. :shobon:

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Watching the video of Bettman grumbling out to give Scott his check, he walks out, slams the check on the ground, and waves :scott: over as if to say "Come get your dumb check, I don't really want to be doing this.". Kind of like at the end of Slap Shot with "Come get your dumb trophy.".

This is the man the league picked to run the show for the next six years.

Im feeling good about my hockey team*. :smug:

* As long as I ignore the fact that only 1 line is producing and the star player could still get suspended by the league for being a bad person.

It's a shame they already did the filming for it, because if they'd waited another year I bet they'd hastily rewrite the story to be John Scott's biography.

Everyone loves a story about the little guy fighting the establishment and winning the trophy at the end.

Seriously wouldn't be surprised if some dweeb in Hollywood is already trying to secure the story rights. Not that they always do something with those rights, but they typically gobble that stuff up anyways.

Yall are going to have to post pictures when they actually come since these are just placeholder graphics, and the jerseys with actual photos look lovely.

Patrick Kane grinning in the bottom left owns. Everything about that photo is awesome. Scott earned his two goals though, they weren't pity goals.

Fan and player reaction to the whole thing was fuckin' awesome. That's the loudest I've ever heard a crowd be at an all star game for mvp. Was Disney levels of heart warming :unsmith:

The worst part was them taking the teams list away from up top. It's not even a drop down, it's a straight link.

and i think individual team sites are broken too

On the flipside, GCL was getting advertised as $39.99.

Which is something I'd totally be getting if I wasn't down the drain for like $400 in the loving Toxx thread.
