The NHL's Department of Player Safety really showed John Scott and the Buffalo Sabres who's boss.
Scott who has never been suspended by the league, nor has he ever been fined, went before Brendan Shanahan for his hit to the head on Loui Eriksson.
Seven games was the verdict.
Really?
Scott's past doesn't matter. Nor do the other (lesser) suspensions matter. It just doesn't matter.
The Sabres are at the bottom of the league, so no one really cares. It's like hauling someone off from the ghetto as opposed to someon from the suburbs. Dude from the ghetto will get a much stiffer sentence for a lesser crime.
So it goes.
BTW, Georges Laraque is said to be entertaining the notion of coming back. Would love to see the look on Gary Bettman's face if the Sabres announced signing the former NHL pugilist.
