Why would you be sad to say that?
I have a lot of favorite John Scott moments, like him running Eriksson at center ice, subsequently ending his own Buffalo career.
Felt bad for Eriksson, nobody wants to see skill players hurt, but the Bruins had absolutely no problem with Lucic running Miller, in what was probably the most obvious piece of headhunting I ever say, so obviously they shouldn't be surprised if their own guys need to keep their heads up.
To hell with the instigator, and I'd take three John Scotts on each team, if it meant fewer cheapshot-artists in the sport.
