NASHVILLE — John Scott expected his NHL All-Star experience "to be in the background, enjoying it behind the scenes."

He could not have imagined that he would be standing at center ice accepting the MVP honor after playing a significant role in helping the Pacific Division win the NHL's first 3-on-3 All-Star tournament. Fans in Bridgestone Arena chanted "MVP! MVP! MVP!" when his face appeared on the scoreboard video screen.

"It is so nice for people to see who he really is," said his wife Danielle, who is 37 weeks pregnant with twins. "He has been portrayed in the media for so long as this nasty guy, and he really isn't."

NHL officials said after the game that Scott had not been listed on the MVP ballot that fans voted on electronically, but they chose him as a write-in candidate. It was appropriate given how he became an All-Star. Scott started this ride as a controversial All-Star and he ended up as a folk hero, mostly because he was continually classy and could play at a higher level than people realized.

"I think (fans) saw his character, what a fun guy he is," said San Jose Sharks Joe Pavelski, a former teammate.

Pacific Division teammates lifted the 275-pound Scott on their shoulders after the game. The NHL couldn't buy a marketing campaign that would produce the good will that Scott generated with his All-Star performance.

"This is like a dream," said his wife, who will have labor induced in four days.

Scott has spent eight seasons as an NHL tough guy, known more for his fights than his scoring potential. He became an All-Star captain after a Yahoo! podcast, followed by a Reddit campaign, promoted the idea that he should be voted into the game through fan balloting.

 

He never campaigned to be an All-Star and said that his Arizona Coyotes teammates deserved it more. But he was selected anyway. After he accepted the invitation to play, he was criticized in the media and then was demoted. The Coyotes traded him to the Montreal Canadiens, who also sent him to the minors.

Scott said in a Players' Tribune essay last week that the NHL pressured him to pull out of the game.

However, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman met with him Thursday night and told him that he was being welcomed with open arms.

Fellow All-Stars stood up for him Friday at media day, and suddenly he seemed like a lovable underdog. That certainly seemed true after he scored twice to help the Pacific Division down the favored Central Division 9-6 in the semifinal.

"He is a great player," Sharks defenseman Brent Burns said. "For him to get to this level, in this league, he has to be a good player. You have be able to skate. It was great for him to show how great of a player he is."

It was Pavelski's idea to pick up Scott. In the post-game news conference, he admitted he was worried for his safety because he weighs "about 300 pound soaking wet" when he is in full gear.

Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said Scott's selection shouldn't be viewed as a sentimental selection.

"He deserved it," Stamkos said. "I think deep down everyone wanted to see him do well, and he did."

Scott even knocked over his friend Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks with a hit. "That was unexpected," Kane said.  "Johnny played well ... he was impressive."

The Canadiens don't seem to have plans to promote Scott, but at the very least he has proved he can hold his own in a skill game. Everyone already knew how tough he is.

"He had a great showing here," Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban said. "It is a big stage and he performed well on it. I don't know what (the Canadiens) are going to do."

Bettman added a few kind words as he presented Scott the symbolic $1 million check that will be split by Pacific Division players. According to Scott, Bettman said he was proud of him.

"It worked out good for everybody," Bettman told Scott.

{coyotes} John Scott, fan vote as captain, gets MVP at All-Star Game

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- John Scott sat on his teammates shoulders while fans chanted ''M-V-P! M-V-P!'' and the NHL finally got out of the way.

The people spoke up for Scott once again Sunday night, making the career journeyman enforcer an All-Star MVP as a write-in candidate after voting him into the new 3-on-3 All-Star tournament as captain of the Pacific Division.

Scott scored twice during the tournament, bringing cheers from fans and smiles from teammates who relished every moment along with the gentle giant and his goofy grin. Scott captained the Pacific to a 1-0 win in the championship.

''It's just another one on the list of stuff that I cannot believe is happening,'' Scott said of being picked as MVP. ''I never in a million years would have believed I was at an All-Star Game, the fans would be behind me like that and score two goals in a game. You can't put it into words. You can't write this stuff. It's unbelievable.''

Now Scott's helmet is headed to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, and his name was trending on Twitter in the United States after a night when he wasn't listed among the three MVP candidates for a social media vote late in the final game.

The NHL did not release details, but fans took it upon themselves to select him once again, in an overwhelming vote for the 6-foot-8 forward with five goals in 285 career games.

''I'm sure he won over a lot of people, and got even more fans,'' Chicago forward Patrick Kane said of Scott.

Fans at Bridgestone Arena booed the MVP options when announced and yelled for Scott, who wrote last week that someone with the NHL tried to talk him out of coming. He seemed a bit stunned as he soaked everything in, from teammates lifting him on their shoulders while fans chanted ''MVP!'' before Scott was announced as the winner and presented with a Honda Pilot Touring SUV. He also posed with teammates behind their $1 million check.

Scott only got nervous when Sharks defenseman Brent Burns, a former teammate and friend, caught him off guard and helped hoist the reluctant fighter into the air.

''I'm not a very light guy, almost 275 pounds, soaking wet about 300 pounds,'' Scott said. ''Yeah, nerve wracking, especially (since) Burnzie is such a spaz. Again, just another moment on this weekend I just cannot believe. You really can't put into words.''

The NHL changed the format after last year's All-Star Game featured 92 shots and a combined 29 goals for the biggest offensive display in the showcase's 60-year history. This time, these All-Stars combined for 116 shots and 23 goals.

This event looked much more like the hockey the league plays the rest of the season. Their inspiration was the 3-on-3 overtime approach for a tournament pitting the four divisions against each other in 20-minute games. The winners of the first two games advanced to a third-period championship.

''I broke a better sweat than last year for sure,'' Philadelphia Flyer and Metropolitan Division forward Claude Giroux said.

Goalies split the work with a 10-minute portion each and actually got the chance to stop shots rather than be targets in the net. Florida's Roberto Luongo and Jonathan Quick of the Kings each made great saves to keep the first 10 minutes of the championship game scoreless, and Quick stopped Jagr in the final seconds before intermission.

Scott, the personable enforcer toiling for now in the minor leagues, stole the show.

A fan campaign made Scott captain of the Pacific Division before the Arizona Coyotes traded him Jan. 15 to Montreal, which assigned him to the AHL. He will return to the AHL to Newfoundland in Canada with lots of prizes after fans chose Scott over the finalists offered by the league's hockey operations - Luongo, Calgary forward Johnny Gaudreau or Edmonton forward Taylor Hall.

Scott's two goals tied Hall, Daniel Sedin of Vancouver and Nashville forward James Neal for the most goals at this event. Scott's wife, Danielle, is pregnant with twins due within the next two weeks, and they will be heading to Michigan during the American Hockey League's All-Star break.

She said this has been overwhelming.

''I jumped up when he scored his second goal, holding my two kids, and I'm like, 'Oh my God. I better stop and relax,''' she said. ''We'd like to have the babies at home.''

Anaheim forward Corey Perry scored the lone goal in the championship at 13:38.

Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang blocked a shot, and Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban sprawled out on the ice to help protect a one-goal lead in the final seconds of the Atlantic Division's 4-3 win over the Metropolitan. Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop stopped a couple shots by Letang and his Penguins teammate Evgeni Malkin inside the final minute to preserve the win.

Goalies also got into the offensive action, taking advantage of more room on the ice. Corey Schneider of New Jersey, Nashville's own Pekka Rinne, Bishop and Anaheim's John Gibson all had assists.

Florida forward Jaromir Jagr, captain of the Atlantic Division, skated in his 10th All-Star Game and helped the Atlantic beat the Metropolitan 4-3. Scott's Pacific beat the powerful Central 9-6 to advance.

{coyotes} Embattled All-Star Scott shines in 3-on-3 tournament

 

Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - Mr.Beer - GameStop - Match.com - Work From Home

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Danielle Scott had tears in her eyes standing in the hallway at Bridgestone Arena.

Two weeks ago, her husband was banished to Newfoundland and the AHL, unsure if he would still be welcomed at All-Star weekend. She retreated back to home base in Michigan with their two daughters in tow and nine months pregnant with twins.

Through it all, Danielle Scott pushed him to attend. But she couldn't have scripted Sunday. No one could.

John Scott just had all 275 pounds of him carried on the ice on the shoulders of his teammates in perhaps the most iconic image of 61 NHL All-Star Games.

"I feel like I'm dreaming," she said. "I can't even believe this is happening."

Which part?

The two goals? The standing ovations and 17,134 chanting his name? The NHL ignoring him (again) as an MVP candidate, only to be overruled by fans? The $100,000 prize? The new Honda Pilot SUV?

It was a Disney movie on-ice in Music City. Except, it actually happened. All of it.

"It's unbelievable," John Scott said. "It just kind of gives you goosebumps when you think about it."

Even the Atlantic division All-Stars, who left Nashville with nothing to show for their 40-minute battle in the new 3-on-3 format, were not disappointed to lose. Scott was more than a fan favourite or media darling, he was a lauded by his peers for his self-deprecating humour and handling of an awkward situation.

In addition to the first two-goal game of his career, Scott registered the second hit in All-Star Game history and hilariously dropped the gloves with former teammate Patrick Kane in a faux tussle.

That left Jaromir Jagr, closing in on Gordie Howe for third all-time in points, to say: "I'm glad I lost today."

twitter embed

"Everything he got at the end, he deserved," P.K. Subban said.

The look on Scott's face when he skated to centre ice to accept the $1 million cheque from NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said it all. He just sort of shook his head in disbelief.

The money, of course, was not nothing. Scott is earning $575,000 this season, while most of his teammates in the Western Conference locker room make 10 times that or more. Brent Burns admitted the Pacific stars were gunning for the money for Scott.

Scott's $90,909 cut will go a long way toward preparing his post-hockey career, which may arrive as soon as this summer with this being the final year of his contract. He hoped this weekend would open new doors in hockey, or even the media, but said he will "work a 9-to-5" like everyone else if not.

And the new SUV will help, particularly with twins arriving this week.

"I could really use it," Scott said, laughing.

But Scott's dazzling All-Star performance was a lot more than the spoils. It was vindication, that even an NHL enforcer can still be a pretty good hockey player. Burns, who has won an Olympic gold medal and previous All-Star appearances, admitted he was nervous. He said the nerve would have only been worse for Scott, who had never played a minute of 3-on-3 in his career.

twitter embed

Scott scored on his first shift of the game and then picked a top corner on Jonathan Quick for his second goal. Tyler Seguin told him he'd never seen anyone score top-shelf so close from the far side before. That settled him down - but his wife was still so excited she almost went into labour.

She is scheduled to be induced on Thursday.

"I jumped up when he scored his second goal, holding my two kids," Danielle said. "I'm like 'Oh my god, I better stop.' It was a little overwhelming. It's all of the stuff he's had to take to get to this point. It's so nice, because people don't get to see who he really is. I'm just overjoyed for John and our family."

No one knew how Sunday would work out, whether Scott's feel-good story would fade into background noise, or if he'd be embarrassed with the game's brightest stars whizzing by him. Those fears were real.

Before the weekend even started, Scott alleged an NHL official called to dissuade him from attending the festivities, questioning whether his family would be proud of the circumstances. Bettman declined to say who made the call or discuss specifics. Scott said he harbored no ill will, and that Bettman told him Sunday was "quite the story."

twitter embed

Safe to say: Scott's daughters were proud.

"I don't think this hockey game is going to change their opinion on me. They just love their dad," Scott said. "It was a good experience for them and I think it was a better experience for me. They had a great time. It's crazy."

{coyotes} John Scott voted MVP of Pacific’s All-Star Game win

 

Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - Mr.Beer - GameStop - Match.com - Work From Home

NASHVILLE -- The smile that flashed across John Scott's face again and again throughout the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game was the perfect symbol of his adventure at Bridgestone Arena on Sunday.

"I just see him as this little kid," Scott's wife, Danielle, told NHL.com afterward.

Danielle, standing outside the home dressing room at the arena, had just finished sharing a tender moment with her husband before he was whisked away to handle the duties that accompanied the surprising most valuable player award he earned after his Pacific Division team won the championship with a 1-0 victory against the Atlantic Division in the final.

Scott scored twice in the first game, a 9-6 victory against the Central Division. He also had the game's only hit, flattening Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane. The two playfully fought a few minutes later, after Kane scored, but neither was penalized.

Danielle tried to explain what it all meant. What it meant to hear the sold-out crowd chant her husband's name in a let-the-people-be-heard campaign for the MVP award throughout the final game, what it meant for him to skate to center ice and accept the $1 million check for the winning team, what it meant for him to win the 2016 Honda Pilot awarded to the MVP and what it meant to see his All-Star teammates, beaming with pride, swoop in to raise him up on their shoulders as he did an on-ice interview with NBCSN.

But the words were not coming easy.

"I'm so pregnant, I can't even talk," said Danielle, who is due to deliver twins sometime this week.

But it was abundantly clear that she was happy the rest of the hockey world got a glimpse of the player, and the man, she knows; one who is far different than the stereotypes that often dominated the dialogue around his All-Star Game candidacy. Everyone got to see how he handled a sometimes tumultuous run-up to the All-Star Game with the grace and humor that Danielle knows all too well.

"It's just like, 'Am I dreaming?' It just seemed too good to be true," she said. "I'm just so happy for him; unbelievable."

Others who know him weren't surprised on how it all turned out.

Joe Pavelski, who played with Scott with the San Jose Sharks in 2014-15, said the love affair between the fans and Scott, beginning with the campaign that got him elected Pacific Division captain and ending with chants of "MVP, MVP, MVP!" in Nashville on Sunday, should have been expected.

"I think they saw his character and the fun guy he is," Pavelski said.

Even those who did not know Scott well before the drama of Sunday started playing out were swept up by the storyline.

Florida Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr was the feel-good story heading into the tournament, the grizzled veteran captain of the Atlantic Division team. If he would have won, it would have been another signature moment for one of the game's most legendary players. But it was not to be on this night.

Jagr, though, was fine with the disappointment; another person won over by the joy Scott brings to whatever hockey rink he is calling home on a given day.

"You hate to lose, but if I ever wanted to lose, ever, I'm glad I lost today," Jagr said. "Everybody thought it was going to be a bad thing for hockey and it's turned out to probably be one of the best stories in hockey. And you know what? He truly deserves it. That's the funny thing; he deserves it."

If there were any doubts about Scott as a player able to hold his own with the game's best - and there were in some corners - they were put to rest early.

Scott, who has five goals in a journeyman career that has seen him accumulate 285 games over nine seasons with six NHL teams, scored on the first shift of the game, tipping in a shot by defenseman Brent Burns. Then, later in the game, he scored on a breakaway, rifling a beautiful shot over the shoulder of Minnesota Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk.

"The boys were pretty pumped there," said Burns, the leader of the Scott fan club throughout the weekend. "He's a great player. It was great for him to show everybody how good a player he is."

Afterward, Scott tried to put it all into focus, but he was struggling a bit too.

In the past month, he was elected captain of the Pacific Division All-Stars by a fan groundswell, waived by the Arizona Coyotes and sent to the American Hockey League, and then recalled and traded to the Montreal Canadiens, who sent him to their AHL affiliate in St. John's, Newfoundland.

Then, he came to the NHL All-Star Game and effectively stole the show, and the MVP trophy.

"You can't put into words, you can't write this stuff," Scott said, flashing the little-kid smile yet again before stepping from the podium to go find his wife and two daughters. "It was a whirlwind and it went by so fast, but I loved it. It was probably the coolest thing I have done in hockey, for sure."

{coyotes} John Scott named MVP, Pacific wins All-Star Game

 

Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - Mr.Beer - GameStop - Match.com - Work From Home

NASHVILLE -- The championship game at the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game on Sunday closely resembled a 3-on-3 overtime period in a regular-season game, save for one difference.

Nobody scored in the first five minutes. Heck, nobody scored in the first 10-plus minutes.

Anaheim Ducks forward Corey Perry scored off a 2-on-1 at 13:38 to give the Pacific Division the only goal it would need for a 1-0 victory against the Atlantic Division at Bridgestone Arena.

Ducks goalie John Gibson and Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick combined to make 17 saves, including seven for Gibson, who played the final 10 minutes.

Pacific Division captain John Scott was voted the MVP of the All-Star Game by the fans. He scored two goals in the Pacific's 9-6 win against the Atlantic Division in the second semifinal game.

Scott received a 2016 Honda Pilot as a reward for his MVP performance. He also gets part of the $1 million prize pool that goes to the championship team.

Perry broke the scoreless tie with a low, far-side wrist shot from the right circle that eluded Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Ben Bishop's stick and blocker. Vancouver Canucks left wing Daniel Sedin delivered the pass to Perry, who got the puck at the blue line.

The fact that it took more than 13 minutes for a goal in the championship game was surprising considering the 15 goals that were scored in the second semifinal game between the Pacific Division and Central Division. There were seven goals scored in the Atlantic Division's 4-3 win against the Metropolitan Division in the first semifinal game.

The League introduced the 3-on-3 overtime format this season and has seen a significant rise in overtime goals.

Of the 171 games that have gone to overtime, 109 have been decided in the extra period (63.7 percent). Last season, using a 4-on-4 format, 44.4 percent of games that extended past regulation ended in overtime (136 of 306).

Perry thought he gave the Pacific a 2-0 lead at 17:07, but his goal was waved off on a coach's challenge because Edmonton Oilers forward Taylor Hall was guilty of goalie interference. He bumped Bishop in the leg before the puck crossed the line.

Calgary Flames left wing Johnny Gaudreau had three chances, one before Perry's goal and two after, to give the Pacific Division a bigger cushion. He had a shot hit the post at 11:21, was stopped on a breakaway by Bishop with a blocker save at 15:20, and hit the post again at 17:22.

The goalies stole the show, including Roberto Luongo of the Florida Panthers, who played the first 10 minutes for the Atlantic Division.

Luongo made sprawling saves with his stick and pads to keep it scoreless. He made 12 saves, two more than Quick on the other end for the Pacific Division.

Quick's best save came early, at 2:11, when he flung his glove hand up in the air to stop a tip attempt by Toronto Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov. Luongo was tested later and delivered with back-to-back pad saves on Hall and two remarkable stick saves on San Jose Sharks captain Joe Pavelski, including one with the nob.

The Pacific outshot the Atlantic 7-2 in the final 4:26 before the five-minute break at the 10-minue mark.

Pavelski had five of the Pacific's 12 shots in the first 10 minutes.

{coyotes} John Scott named MVP, Pacific Division wins All-Star Game

 

Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - Mr.Beer - GameStop - Match.com - Work From Home

NASHVILLE — Fans sent enforcer John Scott to the NHL All-Star Game by voting him captain of the Pacific Division.

Then they made him tournament MVP.

Scott scored twice during the league's new 3-on-3 All-Star tournament, bringing cheers from fans and smiles from teammates, and was named MVP as a write-in candidate after captaining the Pacific to a 1-0 win in the championship Sunday night.

The career journeyman was not listed among the three MVP candidates for a Twitter vote late in the final game, but fans took it upon themselves to select him once again, casting their vote for the 6-foot-8 forward with five goals in 285 career games.

``I'm sure he won over a lot of people, and got even more fans,'' Chicago forward Patrick Kane said of Scott.

Fans at Bridgestone Arena booed the MVP options and yelled for Scott. Teammates lifted him on their shoulders while fans chanted ``MVP!'' and then Scott was announced as the winner and presented with a Honda Pilot Touring SUV.

Scott then posed with his teammates behind their $1 million check.

``I think it's the best possible outcome right?'' Scott said. ``We had a good weekend. ... We left winning, so it was great.''

The NHL changed the format after last year's All-Star Game featured 92 shots and a combined 29 goals for the biggest offensive display in the showcase's 60-year history. This time, these All-Stars combined for 116 shots and 23 goals.

This event looked much more like the hockey the league plays the rest of the season. Their inspiration was the 3-on-3 overtime approach for a tournament pitting the four divisions against each other in 20-minute games. The winners of the first two games advanced to a third-period championship.

``I broke a better sweat than last year for sure,'' Philadelphia Flyer and Metropolitan Division forward Claude Giroux said.

Goalies split the work with a 10-minute portion each and actually got the chance to stop shots rather than be targets in the net. Florida's Roberto Luongo and Jonathan Quick of the Kings each made great saves to keep the first 10 minutes of the championship game scoreless, and Quick stopped Jagr in the final seconds before intermission.

Scott, the personable enforcer who is now also a minor leaguer, stole the show.

A fan campaign made Scott captain of the Pacific Division before the Arizona Coyotes traded him Jan. 15 to Montreal who assigned him to the AHL. He returns to Newfoundland in Canada with lots of prizes after fans took it upon themselves to vote for Scott over the three finalists offered by the league's hockey operations – Luongo, Calgary forward Johnny Gaudreau or Edmonton forward Taylor Hall.

Anaheim forward Corey Perry scored the lone goal in the championship at 13:38.

Pittsburgh defenceman Kris Letang blocked a shot, and Montreal defenceman P.K. Subban sprawled out on the ice to help protect a 4-3 lead in the final seconds of the Atlantic Division's 4-3 win over the Metropolitan. Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop stopped a couple shots by Letang and his Penguins teammate Evgeni Malkin inside the final minute to preserve the win.

Goalies also got into the offensive action, taking advantage of more room on the ice. Corey Schneider of New Jersey, Nashville's own Pekka Rinne, Bishop and Anaheim's John Gibson all had assists.

Florida forward Jaromir Jagr, captain of the Atlantic Division, skated in his 10th All-Star Game and became the third-oldest to take part in the event behind only Gordie Howe (51 in 1980) and Doug Harvey (44 in 1969). That left a big gap between Jagr, who turns 44 on Feb. 15, and the next most experienced All-Stars. Predators captain Shea Weber, Luongo and Kane all made their fifth career appearances.

Jagr scored his fifth career goal in this event to help the Atlantic beat the Metropolitan 4-3. The Pacific beat the powerful Central 9-6 to advance.
