Scott, more of a bruiser than anything, was voted into the game by the fans in somewhat of a joking manner. His trade was announced shortly after the vote was confirmed, and Scott has since revealed the lengths the NHL allegedly went to to try to avoid his participation this weekend.

You can’t make these stories up.
