After all of the controversy leading up to the NHL All-Star game, John Scott was carried off of the ice as the game’s MVP.
By Chris Wengert
Chalk one up for the common man, or in this case the NHL All-Star MVP, John Scott.
Amid all of the cynicism and controversy, John Scott showed all of us that there is still plenty of good in the world.
Scott ended up scoring two goals in the new 3v3 tournament format. Team Pacific would go on the beat Team Atlantic by a score of 1-0.
